Discussion Questions

August 9, 2026

Psalm 84

These questions are meant to be answered by as many people as possible, so be ready to share, and work hard to be brief.

1. The Psalmist says that even sparrows and swallows have a place at God’s altars. How welcoming do you think you are on a scale from 1 to 5? Why did you give yourself that number, and what would it take to get to a 4 or higher?
2. Review Romans 15:1-7 – What does welcoming one another look like? Why do we welcome one another? What are the results of welcoming one another?
3. The Psalmist finds strength for the journey in God’s promises and provision. What is your go-to illusion of security? Money, health, control, relationships (who you know), knowledge (what you know)… How would trusting in those things affect the way you relate to God and others?
4. What truths about God and his promises could you share with a friend who is tempted to fear their situation? How many can you give? (Rapid fire — short, quick answers.)
5. Review Psalm 84:9 – The Psalmist trusts in God’s anointed one to be his shield (representative). How does trusting in Jesus as your representative change the way you live your life? (worship, sin, obedience, growth, prayer, etc.)

Transitioning to today’s sermon discussion questions:

1. Read Psalm 84:1-4. What do you look forward to about coming to church? On days you don’t feel like going, why do you still go? Is there anyone at our church who has a contagious love for gathering together?

One-Another Word Ministry

1. Share an experience when another church member gave you good biblical advice. How did that person help you, encourage you, convict you, comfort you, instruct you, etc.?
2. Review Romans 14:15. At what level do you believe that you are competent to counsel (“able to instruct one another”)? In what situations do you believe that God can use you to build up another believer with good biblical advice? Please be specific.
3. Do you ever feel inadequate to counsel, instruct, influence, or give advice to others? How do you typically respond to that feeling?
4. What can you do to be equipped to do a better job of offering advice to others?
5. What are the most common reasons Christians go to church? How do those compare with what the Bible says? What are the biblical purpose(s) for gathering as a church?
6. Review Hebrews 3:12-13. What would happen if we chose not to obey this command? What harm is there in staying silent when we should speak up?
7. Review Hebrews 10:24-25. What would happen if we chose not to obey this command? What harm is there in staying silent when we should speak up (see vs. 26-27)?
8. Share one way that you plan to change because of today’s sermon. What is your next step toward that change? (Review James 1:22-25 if needed.)
