This is a message from Spring Session 2021 with Jack Henderson.

We put Spring Session 2.0 together to answer the question, “What did we learn from the past year? What are we leaving behind and what are we taking with us as we seek to live with and become more like Christ?”

Discussion Questions:

1. David approached the King of the Israelite army, and eventually Goliath, with confidence

and peace. Verse 37 reads, “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the

paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Where did David’s

confidence and peace ultimately come from?

2. Jack stated that over the past year, despite a difficult year, he has started to have more

confidence and peace like David by striving to hear the Good Shepherd’s voice every day

and living life out in the pasture with him constantly and consistently. What are some

practical ways you can make this daily decision too? Are you willing to try new things and

maybe develop some new habits? What might be holding you back or standing in your

way?

3. Psalm 23 was written by David, and gives us a glimpse into David’s real and intimate

relationship with the Good Shepherd. His confidence and peace came from knowing the

shepherd’s voice - take some time to read and reflect on his words, and consider what

they may mean for you. Are you willing to allow Jesus to lead you, not just in the ups and

downs, but in the everyday things of life? Are you willing to spend time with him daily so

you are prepared to face both joy and adversity with confidence and peace?
