About the study questions – ANSWERS – to launch in early April 2026

The study questions are prepared for individual or group discussions, or for adaptation for church use.

Those for group use have focus on application and challenges of our faith, and care, support and admonishment, i.e. increased focus in our relationship with others, and within our community.

See below for an Example Study.

Questions for church use can be adapted in many different settings. For example, to prepare Sunday and corporate worship, as part of the sermon or prayer, cell group study and so on.

Further, the studies are organised on a monthly basis. In each month, there are study materials for individual study, others for group, and the remaining one or two for church or community use.

A good scheme is that the individual materials are used before that for the group. Then, anything relevant from the individual can be used in the group reflection since everyone would have looked at the materials. If the materials are used in the church arrangement then we can assume the individual and group materials have been used.

Some adjustments to the above scheme will be necessary to fit with your church calendar, personal circumstances, or other pressing priorities and interest for group studies. An alternative is to swap one month with another, rather than mixing study materials from different month. This helps with aligning everyone to one timetable.

Some months have fewer studies, especially periods of Easter and Christmas. This takes into consideration that churches will hev additional programmes and priorities, so that attention of the ANSWERS studies can resume at prior levels after such seasons.

Example study

Month 3

(Each set of studies is grouped in month. ANSWERS is launched in April 2026. Month 3 is then June 2026)

Psalm	Format
13, 112	Individual
24, 25	Group
16	Church

It is recommended that Individual studies commence before or at the same time as Group ones, so that discussion points from the Individual studies can be extended to the group. Beyond that, the psalms can be in any useful sequence.

The questions for the Church studies should be adapted by worship leaders to fit with church activities, e.g. they can use the questions to prepare their prayer, sermons, etc., or to help with planning for breakfast fellowship, elders’ meetings, etc.

Here is an example from one church – “P”:

P: Week 1

Who	What
Anna & Bahr	Psalm 112, and listen to new hymns
Christopher	Ps 13 and new hymns
Group	Other activities

P: Week 2

Who	What
Dylan	Ps 13 and new hymns
Christopher	Continuing Ps 13
Ed	Ps 112 and new hymns
Group	Ps 25 and new hymns Individual sharing from Pss 13 and 112

P: Week 3

Who	What
Ed	Continuing Ps 112
Group	Pss 15 and 24 + new hymns Sharing from 112 and 13 Choose one hymn (13, 112, 24, 25 or 16) to learn
Church	Leader reviews Ps 16 study questions for use in church Listen to new hymns

P: Week 4

Who	What
Individuals A, B, C, D, E	Other activities
Group	Conclude Ps 24. Learn the hymn chosen last week
Church	Leader includes 2 questions from ps 16 study as invitation to Sunday worship. Leader includes one of the hymns in worship.

Another church (R) might approach the same month 3 materials in a different way:

R: Week 1

Who	What
Individuals	Some study Ps 112, others study 13
Group	Individuals sharing from 112 or 13 Listen to one or two new hymns (112, 13, 24, 25 or 16)
Church	Leader reviews questions for Psalm 16 and listens to new hymns

R: Week 2

Who	What
Individuals	As week 1
Group	Ps 24 Listen to 2nd new hymn (112, 13, 24, 25 or 16)
Church	Worship leader uses Psalm 16 to develop their own material for the sermon Uses one question for the coffee morning activity.

R: Week 3

Who	What
Individuals	As week 1
Group	Ps 25 Listen to 3rd new hymn (112, 13, 24, 25 or 16) Choose one of the hymns to learn to sing
Church	Leads one of the new hymns in Sunday worship

R: Week 4

Who	What
Individuals	Prepare additional sharing from Ps 112 and 13 (similar to week 1)
Group	Individuals share in group Sing the new hymn from last week
Church	Sing the new hymn from last week (might be different from that in the groups)

A 3rd group (“S”) might approach this entirely differently:

S: month plan

Week	What
1	Group Study both Pss 24 and 25 Listen to new hymns of 24 and 25
2	Group reviews Psalm 16 study and new hymn for Psalm 16; group drafts an idea for Church use Individuals study Ps 112
3	Individuals study Ps 13 Group: sharing from Pss 112 and 13 Group finalises Ps 16 ideas and suggests that to worship leader for week 4
4	Other activities Optionally, Group supports worship leader to incorporate Ps 16 ideas in Sunday worship
