Warmup Question

“Whose voice most shapes your decisions right now—news, social media, friends, family, or God’s Word? How can you tell?”

The Voices of Psalm 2

The Voice of Resistance

Read: Psalm 2:1–3

Supporting Scriptures: Genesis 3:1–2; Genesis 3:6–7; Romans 5:17

What emotions or attitudes do you hear in Psalm 2:1–3?

How does this sound similar to the serpent’s voice in Genesis 3?

According to Romans 5:17, what does rebellion ultimately promise—and what does it actually deliver?

Key Insight: The voice of resistance always frames God’s rule as restriction, not protection.

The Voice of the Father

Read: Psalm 2:4–6

Supporting Scriptures: Galatians 5:1; Luke 1:35; Luke 2:10–11

Why do you think God responds to rebellion with calm authority rather than panic?

How does Galatians 5:1 clarify the kind of freedom God intends?

What do Luke 1–2 reveal about how God establishes His King—not by force, but by incarnation?

Key Insight: God’s authority is not threatened by human resistance.

The Voice of the Son

Read: Psalm 2:7–9

Supporting Scriptures:

Acts 13:32–33; John 14:6; Mark 2:16–17; Matthew 11:28–30

How does Acts 13 connect Psalm 2 directly to Jesus’ resurrection?

Jesus claims exclusive authority in John 14:6—why is that comforting to some and offensive to others?

How do Mark 2 and Matthew 11 show the tone of Jesus’ authority?

Key Insight: Jesus rules not by crushing sinners, but by calling them to Himself.

The Voice of the Holy Spirit

Read: Psalm 2:10–12

Supporting Scriptures: John 16:7–8; John 16:13; 1 Kings 19:18; Luke 7:44–48

What kind of warning—and invitation—do you hear in Psalm 2:10–12?

According to John 16, how does the Spirit guide people toward truth rather than condemnation?

How do the stories in 1 Kings 19 and Luke 7 show God pursuing hearts quietly but persistently?

Key Insight: The Spirit doesn’t shout over us—He invites us to respond.
