Study Questions

  1. Read 2 Samuel 22:1. Since the author’s description of when David wrote this Psalm is ambiguous, when do you think he did so? Why does this matter?
  2. Read 2 Samuel 22:2-4. List all of the ways in which David describes the Lord. How did David come to know these things? How deeply did he feel them? To what did David attribute his deliverance from his enemies?
  3. Read 2 Samuel 22:5-20. What was David facing in life? What did he do in response to his situation? How did the Lord respond?
  4. Read 2 Samuel 22:21-31. How did David understand himself in the midst of his distress? Did he think he was perfect? In his mind, what was the relationship between his character and the Lord’s deliverance?
  5. Read 2 Samuel 22:32-46. How did David understand the relationship between his success and the Lord’s work in his life?
  6. Read 2 Samuel 22:47-51. What specific reasons does David give for glorifying the Lord in his heart and in the world?
  7. What’s the most important thing you learned from the sermon and your personal study?
  8. How has today’s message helped you to grow in love for God and others?
  9. What is the most important thing Jesus would have you do in light of 2 Samuel 22?
  10. Take some time to worship Jesus. Thank him, praise him, and ask for his help as you seek to strive with other believers for the faith of the gospel.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

It is featured in a new resource available through Children’s Desiring God called Discipleship through Doctrinal Teaching and Catechism by Sally Michael.  It is our desire to encourage parents to use a children’s catechism as a tool in building and strengthening faith in children. A simple definition of a catechism is “organized teaching.” Catechisms are not the only things that can or should be used to instruct the next generation, yet they have useful purposes. Listed here are ten specific benefits a catechism can uniquely offer. Hopefully these ten points will help parents understand how a catechism can be effectively used in their families. 1.  A catechism is a very clear and complete gospel message. A catechism is, among other things, a very clear and concise gospel message to children. Everything a child needs to know for salvation is embodied within a catechism. The gospel is truly ama...
