THIS WEEK:

From the Sermon: Psalm 89

NEXT WEEK'S SERMON: Psalm 89

Preacher: Jon Needham

‍‍Scripture: Psalm 89

MAIN POINTS 1. The Knowledge of God 2. The Challenge of Suffering 3. The Resolve to Worship

In Psalm 89, we see how we can bring our questions to God unfiltered and raw, while also praising His name amid times of deep sorrow and suffering.

‍Family Discussion Questions:

1. What’s something that surprised or confused you about this Bible passage?
2. How do we know that God is a God of steadfast love and faithfulness?
3. What do we do when the struggles of life challenge our confidence in the steadfast love and faithfulness of God?
4. How does the resolve to worship make suffering bearable?
5. How can we encourage others when they are going through times of suffering?

Parent Tip:
· Read the sermon summary together as a family. Build this into your regular routine, perhaps reading together around the table during a meal.
· There are five questions, each with a different theme. You can choose to go over all five on one night a week, do a couple of questions a few times a week, or discuss one question per day.
· Each question is meant to be a conversation starter model for your children on how to answer these questions by sharing your own personal insights.
· Even if your conversations don’t go as planned, don’t be discouraged. ALL time spent talking about and reading God’s word is valuable!
· The more consistent you are in having these discussions, the more fruitful they will be. As this becomes part of your weekly rhythm, your kids will anticipate the questions and listen more attentively at church.

Additional Scriptures‍

2 Samuel 7:16
1 John 4:9
Mark 15:34

Parent Tip:
Use these additional scriptures as daily reading. This is also a great way to help your children learn to locate passages in the Bible.

Attribute of God:

FAITHFUL God always does what He says He will do. We can trust all of God’s promises.

Parent Tip:We focus on a new attribute of God each week to discuss as a family. Use this time to discuss who God is, answer questions the kids might have, and talk about what that week’s attribute means to each person in your family.

Prayer Focus:

CHURCH Spend some time this week praying for those in our church who are suffering, that they would be resolved to worship God amidst the storm.

Parent Tip: Each week of the month has its own prayer theme: Church, Family, Community, and Repentance. Use these themes to show your children how to pray. It can be helpful to add this to an already existing routine, like at bedtime or when you’re in the car together.

THIS MONTH:‍‍

MONTHLY SONG:‍

All My Boast Is In Jesus
What wonder of wonders, what love is this
That Christ would die for me
His goodness, His merit, His righteousness
This sinner’s only plea
O foolish pride, be crucified
The work is finished

All my boast is in Jesus
All my hope is His love
And I will glory forever
In what the cross has done

Now fully forgiven, my life is filled
With graces undeserved
For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill
Let praises now return
Rise up my soul and bless the Lord
Who else is worthy

O praise the One, forever blessed
Him alone my heart adores
And I will boast in nothing less
Than the love of Christ, my Lord

I boast not in riches, in strength or might
But in the grace of God
I glory in weakness, to live is Christ
In plenty or in want
That I may know, that all may see
His pow’r within me

Now I stand in His freedom
Ransomed clean in His sight
And I cannot be ashamed for
My boast is Jesus Christ

Memory Verse:

Proverbs 16:17-18 “The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Parent Tip:
Practice reciting it as a family each day at least once. Dinner time is a great opportunity to practice together.

Westminster Shorter Catechism:

Questions 10: How did God create man?

Answer: God created man male and female, after his own image, in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, with dominion over the creatures.

Parent Tip:
We are making our way through the Westminster Shorter Catechism. You can practice catechism questions anytime throughout the day! For the complete list of questions and answers, visit: thewestminsterstandard.org.
