Psalm 23: How You Livin'?

The following questions can be used as a weekly recap in a small group setting or as a personal study aid for the sermon preached by Adult Education Pastor, Jon Green, at the Grace Place on Sunday, May 28, 2017.  Past sermons are available offline at www.nashvillechurch.com.  Click on “Media” to view the video.  For more information on participating in a Life Group study, stop by the Welcome Center.

Weekly Warm-up:

What is the scariest hike you have ever taken?
Where does your favorite path lead?

Weekly Overview:
I noticed a path outside my driver’s side window as my car idled at the traffic light waiting for it to turn. What would cause a path in the little triangle-shaped median between four lanes of never-ending Nashville traffic?  Isn’t that a terribly dangerous place to be walking?  Then I remembered.  Since it was a rainy, stormy day, the usual paper seller was not plying his trade at the busy intersection.  Many times, I have feared for the safety of those dedicated folks as they dart in and out of cars collecting money.

We may not be risking our physical lives in such a harrowing way but don’t we everyday hurry along the just as dangerous road of life?  I am grateful for the Good Shepherd whose voice guides me in the right direction.  We can trust that He is leading us on the path of righteous.


Weekly Discussion Questions:
Read Psalm 23 from a modern translation such as The Message or The Voice.

How do we know that it is the Shepherd’s voice?
What has the Shepherd done for us in vs 1-3a?
In what forms does God’s guidance come?
When have you heard the Shepherd guiding you?
Why do we hesitate to heed His guidance?
How can we learn to trust His way more?
What benefits do we receive from following His way?
What troubles come when we don’t?

Group Prayer:
Pray for fearless obedience to the Shepherd’s voice.
Pray for Pastor Jon’s health.
Pray for Pastor Tommy’s sabbatical.

Pray for Pastor Patton’s time with us.
