What were you taught about humility when you were growing up? (Proverbs 25:6)
Considering society today, what obstacles are there to being gracious, merciful and compassionate? (Psa 112)
When have you been welcomed or shown hospitality that you didn’t anticipate? What impression did it make on you? (Heb 13:1)
Who do you feel special concern for in your community and the world? How did God get your attention about their needs? (Lk 14:1)
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!
