Working Preacher

  1. When your grief is deep, as David’s was, are you able to lament as David did? (2 Sam 18:5-9, 15, 31-33)
  2. Seeing or hearing are ways to experience spiritually but how do we taste God’s goodness? (Psa 34:1-8)
  3. What is the distinction Jesus makes between the miracle of manna and the bread of life? (John 6:35, 41-51)

This week’s Reflect & Connect questions written by Melissa Tidwell.

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!
