These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as the topic for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Are you serious, fun-loving, shy or outgoing?

Describe a perfect day.

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it

Psalm 139  (Another good passage to let the Bible app read for you.)

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)

The prophet Samuel rebuked King Saul by saying David was a man after God’s own heart.  Maybe David was that man because he did periodic self-introspections.  He knew his faults and failures but also knew that God was the source of his strength.  Dive into Psalm 139 and let it speak to you.

How can God know everything about you?

Knowing God is always present – scary or comforting?

How do you use your unique gifts to serve God?

How do you feel about constructive criticism?

What methods does God use to correct us?

When do you feel God leading you?

Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
