Message Questions: Luke 24:13-35
- Have you ever had an Emmaus Experience when “your heart was burning with you while he talked?” Has anyone ever spoken directly to your soul?
- Explain why Jesus strings this along—asking questions, listening, speaking. What is it about our God that operates like this and doesn’t just come on blaring like a foghorn?
- Do you know any earlier Scriptures that point to Jesus? Which one speaks clearest to you?
- Compare and contrast Luke 24:31 with Genesis 3:7. What do you notice?
- Jesus really leans into Scripture as the telling evidence that he is who he is. What place of importance does the Bible have in forming your thoughts and opinions? Is there room in your life to elevate that voice above all other voices?

Colossians 2:20-3:4 - Religious baggage can pull us in all kinds of directions—from expecting God to fit our preferences to trying to earn His approval. Paul’s message to the Colossians was simple: stop guessing what God wants and get back to the core of Christianity—Jesus.
Humans have a problem that we can’t save ourselves from—not through secular programs or religious systems. The good news of Jesus is that on the cross, Jesus dealt with it all. In him we are alive, forgiven, and free!
Colossians 2:8-12 - Paul warns the Colossian church not to trade the freedom found in Christ for religion or spiritual experiences. Jesus is more than enough.
Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth. Just as the best way to spot a counterfeit is to know the genuine article, the best way to recognize false teaching is to know Jesus.
Colossians 1:24-29-Suffering is one of life's hardest realities. We might expect that following Jesus would mean less pain, but Jesus himself suffered and made it clear that his followers would too. The good news is that our suffering is never lost on God and is never in vain.
Colossians 1:21-23 - Paul contrasts two powerful words—alienated and reconciled—to tell our story. Discover how Jesus did the work of reconciliation and why that is the heart of the Gospel.
