Message Discussion Questions

For the Week of November 16th, 2025

"My Standard"

1. Think of a time when you made a small decision that took you further off course than you expected. What was it that convinced you it was “no big deal”? How did you eventually find your way back?

2. James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” Why do you think it’s so easy to hear God’s Word but not apply it? What’s one area where you know the truth but struggle to live it?

3. Jesus said in John 13:34, “Love one another as I have loved you.”

What would change in your family, workplace, or community if people actually lived out that one command? Where is it hardest for you to love others the way Jesus has loved you?

4. Our culture often says, “Follow your heart.” God says, “Follow my word.” How do you stay grounded when the world pulls you in a different direction?

5. READ Psalm 1:1–3

a. What stands out to you about the contrast between “walking with the wicked” and “delighting in God’s Word”? How do those choices shape your spiritual stability?

b. The image of being “like a tree planted by streams of water” suggests steady growth and rootedness. What helps your faith stay rooted when life feels dry or difficult?

6. READ Psalm 119:105

a. When has God’s Word given you clarity or peace in a confusing time? What’s one way you could let God’s Word light your path more consistently this week?
