Important Info:

• Select an Evangelism Saturday - Please use this form to select a Saturday for your Life Group to go Door to Door. As previously mentioned, we would like each of our Life Groups to go out door-to-door one Saturday between now and the end of October. Please view the available dates and select one that works best for your group. Also, there can be multiple groups that go out on one weekend! Be sure to remind your group that when they go out they can observe someone else do the talking (perhaps this will take the edge off and get more participation in this event). This is a chance for them to get trained and grow in confidence as they share their faith.

• Deacon Meeting at Stone Crossing - On Sunday, July 17th, we will be gathering together for our mid-summer hangout. We will enjoy some fellowship and dinner and then discuss multiplication. We will meet from 5:30pm-8pm at Stone Crossing, 9600 W Brookside Ln, Boise, ID 83714. We look forward to this time together!

• Care Ministry Launching Next Week - Next week, we are launching our Care Ministry, led by our very own Joe & Cindy Wigton. Welcome them to the Deacon team! This ministry will help address the need for prayer support and encouragement and the practical needs of the saints at Compass Bible Church Treasure Valley. Please be praying for this ministry to aid the people of CBCTV.

Application Questions:

Summer in the Psalms
Fair or Pharisaical?
Psalm 26

1. Read Psalm 27:4, 8. What is the difference between merely going through the motions of things like personal devotions or corporate worship and doing those same things with the heart expressed in these verses?

2. Consider Psalm 27:4 again. What other things in your life might compete with the “one thing” or ultimate priority that is expressed in this passage? Why are those things not as worthy of your attention and affections as true worship of God?

3. Read James 4:6-10. How have you seen a lack of integrity negatively affect your intimacy with God? On the other hand, how have you seen God be gracious and draw near to you as you draw near to him? How can that rightly be a motive for integrity in your life?

4. Read Psalm 26:11-12. What are some of the ways whole-hearted devotion to God brings security and “level ground” in this life? What are some of the troubles this way of living can protect you from?

5. Read Psalm 26:1-3. As you think about your own accountability to God, in what ways does that encourage you? In what ways are you challenged?
