Sermon Questions: Psalm 1
- Do you believe that there is a Divine order to life? Has God put us here on purpose or are we here randomly by chance? Imagine you’re in a conversation with someone who holds an opinion opposite to yours; offer one reason/evidence for why you hold your position.
- Psalm 1 suggests there are two different ways to live, either you live a ‘righteous life’ or a ‘wicked life’. What elements differ between those two lives?
- What does verse 2 look like in your life?
- Explain verse 5. How does sin shove a person out of community?
- ‘The Lord watches over the way of the righteous’. How would you put that into your own words?
- How does the ‘way of the wicked lead to destruction’? How do you see this? Does God mete out destruction or does He ultimately back away and let people have what they want, a godless life and a Godless eternity?

Colossians 3:12-17-Sometimes Christianity gets known for what we don’t do. But Paul points us toward something better: how we live, love, and treat one another. What marks a genuine Christian community? It all starts with who God is and how deeply He loves us.
Colossians 3:5-11-Paul points to two areas that reveal who we are at the deepest level: sex and speech. The path to health and freedom isn’t harsh rules or self-focus, but staying close to Jesus, knowing him and growing in him. Christianity isn’t harsh rules; it’s a vibrant friendship.
Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-19 - Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
