What if worship wasn’t just for God, but also for each other? This week, Pastor Josh continues our "Why We Sing" series by exploring how singing together strengthens our faith and puts courage into one another. Whether it’s the worship team leading us, the voice of a friend beside us, or simply showing up and singing out—our worship lifts others. Be encouraged by the reminder that you're not alone, and your voice matters more than you know.

With The Ridge Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9a and 11a, and our gatherings are available on demand starting at 2p! Join us at https://theridge.church/messages

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Share about a time when someone encouraged you in life or faith, or a time when you were able to encourage someone else. What impact did it have on you or them?

2. Read 1 Chronicles 25:1-8. How do these verses show that God gifts some people to lead others in worship? In what ways have you been encouraged by the musical and technical teams at The Ridge?

3. Read Ephesians 5:15-21 and Acts 16:25. How do these passages show that lifting our voices in worship can encourage those around us? Can you think of a time when watching or hearing someone worship God encouraged you?

4. Read Hebrews 10:24–25. Why do you think the Bible warns us not to neglect meeting together? What are some modern choices or obstacles that can make it difficult to gather regularly and how can we overcome them?

5. After hearing the message and this discussion, what is one practical next step you can take this week to encourage others through worship?
