Scroll down for our three-step process to help you engage God’s word and seek a deeper encounter with Him.
step one
This Weekly Bible Passage will be the basis of next Sunday’s sermon. Spend some time studying it prior to Sunday and see what God is revealing to you in it.
Psalm 13 CSB
A Plea for Deliverance
1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long will I store up anxious concerns within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me?
3 Consider me and answer, Lord my God.
Restore brightness to my eyes;
otherwise, I will sleep in death.
4 My enemy will say, “I have triumphed over him,”
and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in your faithful love;
my heart will rejoice in your deliverance.
6 I will sing to the Lord
because he has treated me generously.
Step two
Join us on Sunday for this critical second step in encountering God through His word as we gather together as a church family.
As we work through the pages of 1 Samuel, we’ll be looking at the lives and examples of people like Hannah, Samuel, Saul, and David, and how they related to God. Some of them got it beautifully right, and others not so much. What does it mean to pursue the heart of God and live a life of full devotion and obedience, desiring His presence, His will and His ways? Let’s find out together!
step three
Questions to discuss and process as a Discipleship Group, based on the previous Weekly Bible Passage and Sunday Sermon.
Encourage one another towards a deeper, more vibrant relationship with Jesus.
These discussion questions are based on 1 Samuel 9 and the sermon on July 13, 2025.
Was there anything that stood out to you about the passage or the sermon that challenged you?
When you think of God's Providence, what comes to mind? How does this chapter challenge or affirm those thoughts?
Looking back on your journey with God so far, can you think of a time when His purpose only became clear in hindsight?
Are there places in your life right now where you feel like you're mid-story, not yet seeing where God is active? What would it look like to be faithful in the middle of that uncertainty?
