God Is Our Refuge

This blog is based on Rev. Kim Salo's sermon on Sunday Feb. 23, "God is Our Refuge."

1. Read Psalm 91. 
What does the Psalmist say about God as refuge? From what? In this psalm, how does God protect us?

2. Read Isaiah 25:4-9.
In verses 4-5, who needs refuge? From verses 6-8, name the promises God makes.

3. Read Revelation 7:9-17.
Is this vision fulfilled in the past, the present, or the future? How does this vision of worship in the heavenly realm help Christians under duress now?

4. Read John 17:6-19.
From verses 6-12, by noticing the verbs in each sentence, list all the actions of the Son and the Father. From these same verses, briefly sum up Christ's actions for us.
Read verses 13-19. What key thing is Christ praying for us? Why do you need that right now, in your present situation?

5. Is the church a refuge? If so, how exactly?
