What does a cornerstone do? Why is it helpful to think about Jesus as the chief cornerstone? (Psa 118:22)
In what ways does the metaphor of Christ as first fruits speak to you? (1 Cor 15:20-23)
To whom do you say, “I have seen the Lord”? What do you add about Jesus’ words to you? (John 20:18)
This week’s Reflect & Connect questions written by Lynne Baab.
These questions are intended to stimulate conversation on the Revised Common Lectionary texts for the coming week. They are designed to be accessible to individuals and groups (and not limited to preachers) who are reading the lectionary texts in advance of worship.
Working Preacher's Reflect & Connect questions may also prepare the soil for preachers and their listeners. Congregations or preachers may choose to send out a question (or questions) via email or social media -- each question is short enough to tweet.
If you do share the questions online, please use the hashtag #WorkingPreacher and link back to the site (http://www.workingpreacher.org/). No further permissions are required to use this content.
If you have specific suggestions, general comments or words of encouragement related to Working Preacher's Reflect & Connect discussion questions, please let us know via email at cbp@luthersem.edu. Thanks for participating, and for sharing these questions with your colleagues and members of your congregation!
