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?

The Word That Works James is direct: angry words, thoughtless words, and religious words don’t have a place in a life of faith. Our words don’t work … but God’s word does! Our job is simply to cooperate with his word.
How To Face The Hard Stuff James gets right down to business! For everyone not currently soaking in a hot tub, suffering is a first order of business. In just a few verses, James explains how trials can grow maturity, how wisdom helps the journey, and how to avoid wasting a suffering experience.

Jesus’ baptism reveals the true heart of baptism: God’s desire to bless and express His delight. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the start of the Kingdom. Ordinary women and men were now filled with the Spirit of Jesus to continue on the ministry Jesus started.
Luke 3:21-22 -At Jesus’ baptism, the Father said, “You’re my son. I love you. I’m proud of you.” As Christians, our baptism is a sign that we are in Christ, that what is true about him is true about us, and that the Father’s blessing now defines us.
Luke 3:1-20 - The first mention of baptism in the Bible begins with John. John was the cousin of Jesus and also His opening act. John called the people of his day to "Get Ready." The public sign of a life getting ready for God was, and still is, baptism. Get washed so God can do what God wants to do.
Revelation 21:1-8 - Jesus wins; Jesus has already won; stay faithful to Jesus! This is the message of John’s sometimes confusing book of Revelation. It is full of encouragement and hope for disciples. Jesus, the Lamb, is on the throne. And he is preparing a future for us that includes heaven and so much more!
