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?

Acts 13:1-5 -The first Christians had small groups! They knew, because Jesus modelled it, that we’re much better in groups than we are as individuals. The group that gathered in Antioch was diverse, zoned in on Jesus and figuring out how to be outward-facing. Your own group will want all that and more!
Acts 8:9-25 - Simon put on a good show (literally!), but his heart was full of bitterness. He wasn’t healthy and wasn’t taking the steps to be healthy. What about us today?
Acts 2:40-47 - As a church, we’re taking some time to talk about our vision and strategy. We’re hoping to add clarity to why and how we do what we do in this season.
Psalm 129 is a bit of a nasty Psalm! The writer has been oppressed and doesn’t hold back in expressing what that feels like. You might think being a believer means your troubles disappear, but that has never been the case. The good news is that God is neither blind nor indifferent to our struggles.
Psalm 131 - The Psalms of Ascent have it all: anguish, anger, encouragement, and wild joy. Psalm 131 is all about contentment. Where does contentment come from? What ruins it? What does it feel like? How can I be content in an age where marketing, social media and mirrors breed discontent?
Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they travelled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple. These Psalms give voice to the sorts of things that go through worshippers' hearts as they prepare to worship.
