Bob Donohue: The Realization of Righteous

0 Comments

On Sunday Bob Donohue addressed us from Psalm 119:137-144. Bob is the senior pastor of our sister church, Grace Community Church, in Ashburn, Va.

Here are options for reviewing and applying the message:

• Listen online or download an MP3.
• Download the summary outline (in PDF format).
• Use the questions below for further reflection and application to your life:

1. Psalm 119:137 declares that the Lord is righteous. Take time to meditate on what that means. What examples from Scripture show the justice, truthfulness, faithfulness and righteousness of God and his ways?

2. Why is it critical for the Christian to believe that God never errs? How will a firm belief in God’s right ways protect you when you walk through suffering?

3. Why is God’s righteousness “bad news” for those separated from God?

4. Review 2 Corinthians 5:21. What does this verse teach us about the exchange of righteousness God made at Calvary? What did Christ take? What did we receive? What does this mean for our standing before God? Why should this verse provide great peace and joy for us?

5. The Psalmist defends, depends upon, and delights in the Scriptures. How do we know this from the text? Who has been an example of any one of these characteristics to you? In which of these three areas do you most want and need to grow?
