Small Group Questions

Sunday, October 26th, 2025

1. God is My King (The Father Who Reigns)

Read Psalm 103:19 and 1 Timothy 6:15. What do these verses say about God's rule and reign?
How do people today tend to view those in positions of power? Why do you think this is?
Why might someone often obey God out of duty rather than out of joy?
How should seeing your King as a loving Father change how we think about obedience—His will versus ours?

2. God is My Judge (The Father Who Disciplines)

Read Psalm 50:6 and 2 Timothy 4:8. How do these verses describe God?
Why do you think some people constantly judge their worth based on their performance?
If you follow Jesus, have you ever felt like you are still on trial in God's courtroom? If so, why?
A child of God will make mistakes. Read Hebrews 12:6. How should we view receiving discipline from the Lord? What might that discipline look like?

3. God is my Savior (The Father Who Sends Jesus)

Read Isaiah 43:11 and Titus 3:4-6. What does God save us from and for?
How do we sometimes treat salvation as a transaction rather than a relationship?
What might be a sign that people see God more as a "first responder" than as a Father?

4. Where do you most need to see yourself as a child of a loving Heavenly Father?
