Discussion Questions for Ord. 22B – Working Preacher from Luther Seminary

Working Preacher

If you were to write or rework a commandment for people today, what would it speak to? (Deut 4:1)
Who has been an example or inspiration to you of faith, honesty or compassion? (Ps 15)
When looking in a mirror, what do you see in yourself as a disciple, leader and child of God? (Jas 1:17)
In a world of division, how does your congregation help bridge diverse people, cultures and opinions? (Mark 7:1)

This week’s Reflect & Connect questions written by Rod Boriack.

How to Use these Questions

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!
