Use the following questions and directions based on today’s sermon as a starting point for spiritual discussions with your family or a small group of Christian friends this week.

Fellowship—Relationship with a Purpose

• What is your favorite song about Jesus? What do you love about it? What does it communicate in its meaning or its message?
  

Growth—Thinking About Spiritual Matters

• Many songs in Psalms include content that relates to the Messiah (aka Jesus!). Look up the following passages and find the connection. What is your reaction to their prophetic content?
  

  Psalm 110:4 + Hebrews 6:20
  

  Psalm 41:9 + Mark 14:10
  

  Psalm 109:7-8 + Acts 1:18-20
  

  Psalm 27:12 + Matthew 26:60-61
  

  Psalm 69:4 + John 15:23-25
  

  Psalm 22:16 + John 20:27
  

  Psalm 34:20 + John 19:33
  

• Skim Psalm 69. Note some of the content that matches up with Jesus (aka “messianic”), but also note the other content. What genre is this song (praise, lament, song of confidence, song against enemies)? What percentage of the song is focused on the Messiah?
  

• Why is it important that messianic content isn’t stand-alone content? Why does God intermix it with other songs?
  

• How intermixed is Jesus in your daily life? Is He a Sunday-only feature, or is he inseparable? Why?
  

• What have been your biggest takeaways from this series on Psalms? Share some things you’ve learned and offer one change you can make in your life based on what we’ve discussed.
