July 27 | Psalm 107 | Fellowship

  1. The US Surgeon General says that chronic loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. What factors do you think are contributing to chronic loneliness in our society? Which factors are at play in your own life?

  2. Read Psalm 107:1-3. In the sermon, we defined Fellowship as “Participating in the story of God’s love together.” What does participation look like according to these verses? What does participation look like in your own rhythms of fellowship?

  3. Read Psalm 107:4-32. In these verses, the psalmist rehearses the stories of four characters (starting at vv4, 10, 17, &23 respectively). What is different in each story? What is the same? What is the value of rehearsing our stories of hardship and redemption in community? What makes this kind of sharing difficult?

  4. Read Psalm 107:33-41. In these verses, the psalmist shifts from the stories of specific people to general descriptions of God’s work in poetic language. What do we learn about God from this section of the psalm? What do we learn about people?

  5. Read Psalm 107:42-43. What does wisdom look like according to these verses? What is the connection between wisdom and fellowship? How will you practice the spiritual habit of fellowship this week?
