Places of Safety
God instituted places of safety to show His people that He is just and righteous; He protects the innocent and punishes the guilty. This week, Rev. Genesis Tan reminds us that, as God’s people, we should be vessels of His love and mercy and provide refuge to those who live in a broken and fallen world.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
– Follow up from last week’s ‘Engage the Hands’. How did you respond to things that you tend to grumble about?
– What brings you comfort when you are facing a difficulty?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
– Read the passage. How does the passage reflect Christ?
– In what way is the passage relevant to you?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
– How have you experienced finding a refuge? What was it like for you?
– How do you feel about Christ as your refuge?
– Is there anything that hinders you to come to the place of refuge (that is, Christ)? (Note to leaders: This might include an unresolved heart issue, a wrong perception of the Gospel, etc. This is an opportunity to minister and to share the Gospel.)
– What are some ways we can be a place of refuge for someone?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
– Think of someone in your circles that is in need of a place of refuge. What can you start doing to be Christ’s hands and feet in being a refuge for him/her?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
– Thank God that He is our Refuge. He welcomes us as we are despite our sins, baggages, hurts, and doubts.
– Ask for the Spirit’s guidance that we may fully come and embrace Christ as our refuge – that He is our safe place with all our vulnerabilities.
– Pray that as we experience Christ’s acceptance and restoration, we may extend His character to the people He has placed in our hearts.
