Scripture: Psalm 15:1-5

Your Own Notes:

Discussion Questions:

1. Read Psalm 15:1-5 twice with two different readers. What is one thing you are hearing from the Scripture or one question you have? 
2. Psalm 15:4 puts an emphasis on the idea that the person who will dwell with God in heaven will “despise evil.” Do you think despising evil is a good thing or a bad thing? Why? 
3. Is there a difference between how Christians should treat evil found in people outside the church vs. inside the church? Why do you think that? (Read 1 Corinthians 15:12-13 for help)
4. Read Galatians 6:1-2 & 2 Timothy 2:24-26. With these verses in mind, what are some important aspects to how a Christian should respond to evil or vile behavior found in a sibling in Christ? 
5. Psalm 15:1-5 is a rule of life for the Christian to live by. Which part of Psalm 15 do you want to meditate on & follow this week? Why did you pick that one? 
6. Pray for one another.
