Title: When I Overcome
Text: Psalms 40:1-3

The Psalms are a collection of songs that address  the full range of human experience. What can we learn from Psalm 40 on overcoming challenges?

General Questions:

  1. When you encounter challenges, difficulties or roadblocks in your life, how do you usually respond? Is God the first person that you go to, to pray and to petition your needs to? Why?
  2. What does “waiting patiently for the Lord” mean to you? Have you ever experienced a time when you were desperate and could only rely on God to deliver and help you? What helped you to hold on in faith while waiting? What did you learn about God and about yourself through that season of waiting?

Perspective Questions:

  1. Everyone (believers and pre-believers alike) will go through challenging and difficult times. How do you think having a relationship with God changes the way we respond to those challenges? How does knowing God’s character (e.g., faithful, loving, present) shape your response?
  2. Have you ever felt like God was silent during a difficult time? Looking back, what were the precious lessons you learned in this season and how did you come to realise that He was still working?
  3. How does remembering God’s faithfulness in the past help us to overcome present challenges? Take time to recall God’s faithfulness in your life and give thanks to Him.

Application Questions:

  1. Are you personally going through a challenging or uncertain season in your life? In what ways does this sermon speak to you? How do you think you can apply the truths from Psalms 40 to help you to overcome this season?
  2. Are there people in your life, be it in your life group, family or colleagues who come to mind that might be struggling or searching for hope? How can you share your testimony to encourage them?

Title: When I Feel Small
Text: Psalm 8

In a world that constantly tells us to look inward and elevate ourselves, Psalm 8 invites us to look upward, to see the majesty of God and our smallness in His greatness. Through the psalm’s poetic structure, we discover that the God who rules over the heavens is also mindful of us, entrusting us with His creation despite our insignificance. When we truly grasp how majestic God is and how small we are, our hearts are moved to worship, not for what we gain, but for who He is.

Discussion Questions

  1. How great and majestic do I perceive God to be?

  2. Practically, how can I keep my worship more God-focused and less me-focused?

From the mountaintops of praise to the valleys of lament, from personal struggles to corporate celebrations, the Psalms teach us how to bring our hearts honestly before God. Whether you are rejoicing, weeping, seeking, or wrestling, you will find that God’s Word has a song for every season of your soul.

Sermon: When We Walk In Wisdom
Passage: Psalm 1

Psalm 1 is the gateway into the entire book of Psalms. It paints a vivid contrast between two paths: one that leads to wisdom and life, and one that leads to foolishness and destruction. The sermon reminds us that we need wisdom not only for life’s big crossroads like choosing a spouse, job, or calling, but also for the small daily decisions that shape our lives over time.

General Discussion:

  1. What stood out to you most about the picture of the blessed person (the tree planted by streams of water). Why do you think that image is so powerful for you personally?

Perspective Question:

  1. The Psalm warns how we can slowly slide into ungodly influence, from walking, to standing, to sitting. In what ways might worldly voices or company be shaping your values or choices today? How can you re-centre your counsel around God’s Word and His people?

Application Question:

  1. The wise person delights in and meditates on God’s Word “day and night.” What is one practical way you can internalise Scripture this week? How might that help you stay rooted and fruitful in this season?

Title: Proclaiming to Others
Text: Colossians 4:2-6

The letter to Colossae was written by Paul while he was in prison to remind the church the sufficiency of Christ for salvation. If Christ is sufficient for our salvation, the greatest gift we could ever receive, we should proclaim what He has done with excitement.

General Questions:

  1. The Gospel is something that we should be excited to share to the world. What are some things that hinder you from sharing about God and His love?

Perspective Questions:

  1. In the sermon, we are called to pray as part of how we proclaim the gospel. Why is prayer important in the proclamation of the gospel? Is this congruent with your own prayer life?
  2. We proclaim the gospel by living out our faith and we are meant to be living testimonies of the salvation that we have received. What are some things that taints our testimony? Are there beliefs or worries that stop us from living out our faith in the world?
  3. What should we consider to ensure that our conversations are full of grace and the power of God? What might make it challenging to do so in the world? What can we hold on to so that we will not falter?

Application Questions:

  1. Ps Jeff shared about how he prays for people through journalling and messaging them. For you, what can you do to inculcate this habit of praying for the lost into your lifestyle? What might be some obstacles and how can you overcome them?
  2. How can the lifegroup support and encourage each other to live out our faith in the world? What kind of support do you want or need the most?

Title: Confessing to God (1 John 1:5-10)

What does walking in God’s ways truly mean and how does confessing to God help us to walk in His ways?

General Questions

  1. Why do we find it difficult to confess our sins to God?
  2. What are signs that a Christian is walking in the light?

Perspective questions

  1. How is it possible for a Christian to live in persistent sins while walking in the light?
  2. If God is all knowing, why do we need to be intentional and specific in confessing our sins before God?

Application questions

  1. What is one sin that you need to confess to God today? Share with your lifegroup how the fellow brothers and sisters can journey with you and hold you accountable in this one sin.
  2. How can you build a habit of confession into your daily walk with God? What are the adjustments that you need to make today to build this habit?

God speaks through His Word. But hearing from God goes beyond reading the Bible – we are to pray, meditate and confess. Discover how we can dwell into the habit of inward and outward confession, so that God’s Word can get through us.

Title: Caring for One Another
Text: Philemon 22-25

True fellowship in the Gospel entails caring for one another by practising hospitality and rendering support to one another.

General Questions:

  1. What is hospitality to you? Do you have any personal experiences as a giver or receiver of great hospitality? How did those experiences make you feel or impact you?
  2. Other than showing hospitality, we care for one another by supporting one another in the mission that God has entrusted to us. Why do you think Paul always make special mention of people who partnered with him in his letters? What do you think fulfilling God’s missions will be like if we do it on our own?

Perspective Questions:

  1. Early Christians showed hospitality by opening their homes and giving traveling missionaries food, shelter and even funds for the next leg of their journey. What does “unreasonable hospitality” look like to you in your context, such as LG, family and workplace? What is the motivation behind Christian hospitality?
  2. True fellowship in the gospel is not just about sharing lives and memories with one another but also sharing in God’s mission. Do you think this element of fellowship is evident in your Christian fellowship groups? What do you think will happen if this aspect is neglected?

Application Questions:

  1. What do you think a hospitable LG looks like? What roles can you play to raise the level of hospitality in your LG?
  2. Who are the people you can support to fulfil the Great Commission? How do you think you can use your time, talent and treasures to support them, and in particular our pastors and leaders?
