Psalm 116

1. Was there something in this sermon or text that struck you as meaningful? As strange? As hard to understand?

 

2. Can you remember a time when you were completely out of options? Can you describe what you had tried and how you felt when you were at the end of trying?



3. How is dying to ourselves a frightening thought?

4. How does this death of ourselves cause relief and rest?

5. Having the Lord hear your cry for mercy, do you still have a desire to look for safety and meaning anywhere else? Why?


6. Would you describe your life as one of rest? Why or why not?

7. Why do we think that obedience is repayment to the Lord? Why can't obedience be repayment to the Lord?
