June 21st 2026

Ice Breakers: Can you give me some fun or funny or interesting ice breaker questions that go along with any of these themes? Particularly that help us get to know each other

1. The Psalmist says, “Righteous are you, O LORD, and right are your rules” (v.137).

* Can you think of a command, teaching, or providence of God that has been difficult for you to accept or trust?

* What does it look like to believe God’s ways are right when they conflict with your desires, plans, or the values of your workplace, school, or culture?

* Read Proverbs 3:5-6.

2. What tends to shape your understanding of right and wrong most strongly: God’s Word, your feelings, your friends, social media, politics, or something else?

* How can you become more intentional about letting Scripture shape your thinking?

* Read Romans 12:2.

3. The Psalmist’s zeal burns because people have forgotten God’s Word (v.139).

* What things tend to stir strong emotions in you?

* How can we cultivate a deeper concern for God’s honor without becoming self-righteous, angry, or argumentative?

* Read John 2:13-17 and James 1:19-20.

4. The sermon compared us to Berkley sitting beside a bottle of water while remaining thirsty.

* What distractions most often keep you from spending meaningful time in God’s Word?

* What practical change could you make this week to create more focused, unhurried time with Scripture?

* Read Psalm 1:1-3.

5. The Psalmist says, “I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts” (v.141).

* Have you ever felt pressure at work, school, among friends, or even within family relationships to compromise your Christian convictions?

* What helps you remain faithful when obedience to Christ might cost you approval or acceptance?

* Read Galatians 1:10 and Acts 5:29.

6. Verse 143 says, “Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight.”

* When life becomes difficult, where do you naturally turn for comfort?

* How can God’s Word become not merely something you know, but something you genuinely delight in during seasons of stress, disappointment, or suffering?

* Read Psalm 19:7-11 and Romans 15:4.

7. The Psalm ends with the prayer, “Give me understanding that I may live” (v.144).

* Where do you most need God’s wisdom right now—in your marriage, parenting, friendships, work, finances, ministry, or another area?

* How might a deeper understanding of Christ and His Word change the way you approach that situation this week?

* Read James 1:5 and John 17:3.
