Spiritual growth happens when we receive new knowledge and then apply it to our lives. This always happens best in the context of community. Take time this week and engage in these additional scriptures and questions on your own. Then, discuss them with your Small Group.

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”Proverbs 27:17

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER
Who is the most positive person you have ever known?
Why do you think positive people tend to attract people?

SERMON QUOTES
It’s ok to complain to God but not about God.
Negativity is a choice.
Negativity breeds fear; giving thanks breeds faith.

GOING DEEPER IN THE WORD TOGETHER

In the beginning, Asaph is very distressed. He doesn’t tell us specifically, but what are some possible reasons he was so distressed?
How did Asaph feel God responded?
What kinds of things tend to get you to the point Asaph was?
Have you ever asked yourself questions like he did? What?
What are some absolute phrases we tend to tell ourselves when we are in stressful moments? (Verse 10)
In verse 11 Asaph seems to turn the corner. What brought about this change of mindset?
What does this teach us about how to create new Soundtracks that will bring life to ourselves and others?
Does this mean we will never think those thoughts again?
What’s the difference in thinking a thought and dwelling on a thought?
Do you ever consider what soundtrack you are for others?

APPLYING SCRIPTURE TO YOUR LIFE
Can you name a broken soundtrack Gods speaks directly to?
