Bible Study
Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Psalm 46, Mark 4:35-41.
In the face of uncertainties and fears, how do we make God our refuge and strength? Psalm 46 is a powerful source of comfort and confidence. In this ancient prayer, we learn about:
- A River of Gladness - God's presence is a source of refreshment, life, and joy
- A Certain Stability - All kingdoms, rulers, and institutions will end; only God's Kingdom endures forever
- A Divine Rebuke - The battle belongs to the Lord and he will be victorious
Discussion Questions:
- When you look at the world, are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future?
- Have you experienced the presence of God in a way that transformed an unsettling situation into a "river of gladness" (something that brought peace, life, and joy)? What difference did the knowledge of God's presence make?
- Based on Daniel 5, Randy suggested that "the days are numbered" for every leader, government, military, business, and economy. How do you respond to this idea?
- How does God's divine rebuke of his enemies (v. 10) become a source of comfort and strength for his people?
