Andrew Allison – Listen
Songs for this week: Spotify or YouTube
Sermon Questions: Psalm 150
- Hallelujah means “Praise the LORD”. What does praising the LORD look like in your life these days?
- As a group make a list of “His acts of power”. And also make a list of anything that would explain “His surpassing greatness”.
- Is there a message in listing all the instruments? Is the Psalmist saying something subtle by naming various instruments?
- The Jews in exile didn’t know if their lives were ever going to ‘return to normal’ but they called each other to Hallelujah anyway. Explain how Christians can wholeheartedly praise the LORD even when the future is uncertain.
- Share with each other one thing that was impressed on you through our study in the Psalms this summer.

Romans 12:1-2 - Jesus’ invitation is to follow him: to be with him, become like him, and do what he did. We surrender control to Jesus, resist the pattern of the world that shapes us, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit for transformation.
Mark 1:16-18 -We begin our series on Practicing the Way—exploring how Jesus’ rhythms of prayer, fasting, solitude, and Sabbath invite ordinary people to grow in grace and intimacy with God
Acts 17:16-34 -Paul shares the hope of Jesus in everyday language, guiding seekers toward truth and showing where their search for God had gone astray.
Acts 13:1-5 -The first Christians had small groups! They knew, because Jesus modelled it, that we’re much better in groups than we are as individuals. The group that gathered in Antioch was diverse, zoned in on Jesus and figuring out how to be outward-facing. Your own group will want all that and more!
Acts 8:9-25 - Simon put on a good show (literally!), but his heart was full of bitterness. He wasn’t healthy and wasn’t taking the steps to be healthy. What about us today?
