Session 7: Psalm 119:121–136

Have you ever been so excited about something that you couldn’t resist telling someone about it right away? (an acceptance letter for college, a positive pregnancy test, a clear medical examination, etc.)

What caused your excitement? How did it feel to share it with someone else?

In today’s session, we’re going to take a look at David’s desire to see the lost world around him embrace the Lord. Having come to know God, David longs for others to know that good news. We’ll spend our time today talking about how God’s grace is not meant to stop with us, but He intends for it to overflow from our lives to influence those around us.

Session 5: Psalm 119:65–96

What experience have you had with surgery? What was the purpose of the surgery?

How long was your recovery?

In what ways did the surgery benefit you in the long term?

Surgery always requires a doctor to inflict harm in order to create long-term health. Yet, the doctor is not considered cruel. Rather, he or she is committed to removing what would ultimately threaten the livelihood of a patient. God acts in much the same way in our lives, as we’ll see in today’s session.

Session 4: Psalm 119:49–64

Describe a time when you found the courage to face something difficult or scary because of the assurance of someone with you (a parent teaching you to swim, helping you ride a bike, learning to drive, etc.).

Why did you believe in their assurance? What made them trustworthy to you?

How did their encouragement give you the courage to take that risk?

Throughout life, there will be times when we will face difficulty. During those seasons, it may even be difficult to see God in the midst of the pain. When those times come, we can find great comfort in the assured promises of God, which is where we want to focus our time today.

Session 3: Psalm 119:33–48

What is something that you’ve been responsible for growing in your life? (plant, company, physical strength, etc.)

What did you do to contribute to the growth? What else was required to accomplish the growth?

In every situation, we require more than ourselves for growth. For a company to grow, it needs strong leadership, but also buy-in from employees. Plants need people to water them, but they also need good soil for seeding. Physical strength requires personal discipline, but also guidance from the outside on best practices for growing strong. The same is true for our spiritual life. To grow into maturity, we need God to meet us in our need, which is what we’re going to see in our session today.

Even the most mature believers face dark nights of the soul. During those times God seems distant, his Word feels dry, and the vibrant intimacy we knew before seems absent leaving us wondering, “Where is the Lord in this?” In Psalm 119, Matt Chandler aims to introduce viewers to the words of King David who experienced similar seasons of life. Serving as the anchor for the study, Psalm 119 demonstrates the power of God’s Word in the lives of believers and its ability to provide a warm blanket for the soul.

Today the guys wrap up the series "Teach Us to Pray" talking about how in the end, this is all God's kingdom. He rules it all and we should always submit to that truth. 

If you’ve grown up in a Christian home or have had some exposure to Christianity, you are probably familiar with “The Lord’s Prayer.” Perhaps, you can recite it verbatim. Or perhaps you’ve recited it so many times that the words fail to make much sense to you anymore.

In this eight-part series, pastor Ranjit David, explains how the Lord’s Prayer is much more than a model prayer. Instead, it is a declaration that establishes God’s reign not just in Heaven, but on Earth as well when we mean what we pray.

Eventually, the Lord’s prayer is not ritualistic dogma or a magical mantra but a deeply conversational, one-on-one appointment with our Father.
