We’ll Be Here

Psalm 129 Discussion Questions: Read 2 Thessalonians 1:3-10. What effect would these words have had on the believers in Thessalonica? How can they have the same effect on us? Why might they not? Have you experienced persecution in your life that has made you long for the justice of God? If not, do you know of anyone who has? How can we reconcile God’s call to love our enemies and God’s call to pray that He would bring justice?

Fruitfulness

Psalm 127 Discussion Questions:   1) Can you think of a time when you were building something in vain? How did you realize it? What did you do about it? 2) Can you think of a time you accomplished something that could only have been done with God’s help? 3) Are you prone to doing too much or too little? How can we know what good works God has prepared for us? (Ephesians 2:10)

Great Things

Psalm 126 Discussion Questions: 1) What is one great thing you’ve seen God do in your life? 2) What is one great thing you’ve seen God do at Cornerstone? 3) What is one seemingly hopeless situation in your life that you’re praying God would turn around?  

Living Under the Scepter of the Wicked

Psalm 125 Discussion Questions: 1) When you see and experience the scepter of the wicked on the land, who are you most tempted to put your trust in (other than God) to stand firm? Why is that so dangerous? 2) Read 2 Kings 6:8-23. What does this story teach us about God’s protection? Do we learn anything about how to treat the wicked in this passage?

Lord Have Mercy

Psalm 123 Discussion Questions: 1) Is there a time in your life when you’ve felt like the Psalmist feels in Psalm 123? 2) Is it ever tempting to think that God doesn’t want to show you mercy? Why? 3) How have you personally experienced the Lord’s mercy?

Joy in the House of the Lord

Psalm 122   Discussion Questions: What’s something that you get excited about that has no eternal significance? (If you’re married, think about how your spouse would answer this question for you!) What keeps you from experiencing excitement and joy as you come into the house of the Lord? Who is someone in your life who has exuded joy as they’ve gathered with other believers? Why do you think they did?  

Lift Your Eyes Up to the Hill

Psalm 121   Discussion Questions:   1) Where are some wrong places you are tempted to look for help when trouble comes? How have they let you down? 2) If you had a powerful, wise, good, loving bodyguard helping and protecting you all the time—day and night—how would that change the way you lived? Why don’t we live that way as Christians? How can we live that way more than we do?
