Bible Studies for Life: Storm Shelter - Bible Study Book

Storm Shelter: God’s Embrace in the Psalms - Bible Study Book includes a small group experience for six small group sessions, applicable Scripture, key word study, and a life application section called "Live It Out."

Ever been caught by surprise by a rainstorm or shower? With no umbrella handy, we naturally look for some type of shelter: our car, a building, or any type of overhang that keeps the rain off of us. Life catches us by surprise too, and we immediately look for something to shelter us from the problem or uncertainty. The world can offer a variety of shelters, but they ultimately all leak. Through the Book of Psalms, we can discover that God is the only One who can truly shelter us. These six psalms show us that, when we place ourselves in God’s loving embrace, we can experience shelter in the midst of any downpour. Session titles:

1. The Shelter of God’s Presence (Ps 23:1-6)
2. The Shelter of God’s Salvation (Ps 27:1-6)
3. The Shelter of God’s Forgiveness (Ps 32:1-7)
4. The Shelter of God’s Encouragement (Psalm 42:1-3,6-8; 43:3-5)
5. The Shelter of God’s Peace (Ps 46:1-11)
