Ice Breaker

What is the farthest distance you have ever run?

What do you think about when you are running?

Goliath

Jonathan

Read Samuel Chapter 21. (Age 15-17, maybe a little older)

Psalm 27 – Intro – Chronological Bible reading

V1-3 David talks about his confidence. Fake it till you make it? OR was David really this confident?

V4-6 David praises God. Why is praising God “good medicine” in times of trouble?

V7-10 David seems to be saying “I need help, now would be good”. Why do we sometimes think that God has hidden his face from us?

V11-14 David is asking God to reveal His ways through this trial. How does this psalm end? Patience.
