The Grove 10 Years – Week 6

Key Points

Worship is a 24/7 weapon.

1. 01 Worship means ascribing worth to Christ in every circumstance, so it is a weapon against fear, worry, shame, despair, idolatry, loneliness, temptation, and pride.
2. 02 When fear rises, get to God ASAP, and do not face the opposition alone — Jehoshaphat called all Judah to seek Yahweh with him.
3. 03 When we do not know what to do, we pray — beginning with who God is and what He has done, and confessing that our eyes are on Him.
4. 04 When God speaks, we take our stand; before God changes the battle around you, let Him change the battle within you.
5. 05 While we wait for God to perform His Word we believe and worship, and when He acts on His Word we give Him the glory.

Discussion Questions

1. 01 The message defined worship as ascribing worth to the One who is worthy, and challenged us not to limit worship to 30 minutes on a Sunday morning. What would it look like this week for worship to be a 24/7 lifestyle in your home, your work, and your thought life?
2. 02 Pastor Scott listed fear, worry, shame, despair, idolatry, loneliness, temptation, suffering, and pride as the enemy's onslaught. Which one is pressing on you right now, and how could worship be wielded against it specifically?
3. 03 Jehoshaphat's prayer began with who God is and what God has done before he ever mentioned the crisis. How does starting there change the way you pray about your own powerless situations?
4. 04 Carla's statement was, "We must never begin to doubt in the darkness what we know to be true in the light." What do you know to be true in the light about God's character that you are tempted to doubt when the circumstance gets dark?
5. 05 Jehoshaphat put the singers in front of the army before anything had changed. Where is God calling you to march forward in praise and obedience while you are still waiting to see the outcome?
