Psalms 89:1-52. Verses 1, 2, 5, 8 KJV, God’s faithfulness. How have I experienced this? How would I explain and evaluate it for an inquiring non-believer?

Galatians 6:11-18. Verse 14, in my Christian life, what might I be tempted to glory in, besides the cross of Jesus Christ? What are the consequences of doing that? Action point?
Luke 11:45-54. Who are the present-day equivalent of the lawyers, scribes, and Pharisees, indicted by Jesus for corrupting religion from the inside out? What is to be done about them?
