Small Group Notes for 8th January 2026
N.B. Sermon can be heard via our website and YouTube channel and the Paper Service version is on our website: https://parishofmedsteadandfourmarks.co.uk/online-church/paper-services/
Read and Reflect: Psalm 23 & John 10:1-21
Questions:
- What does life in all its fulness look like, in us, and when we see it in others?
- What are our green pastures and quiet waters, that is, the people, places, etc, that refresh our souls?
- How do we ensure that we find refreshment in the right places? Much temptation is to seek satisfaction to our human needs elsewhere other than God!
- What does the cross, pre-figured in the rod and staff (Psalm 23:4), as ‘refreshment’, and as an antidote to fear and temptation?
- How can we both demonstrate and speak of the life abundant, inviting others in?
