What’s your understanding of or vision of the coming “day of the Lord,” the day of judgement? Does it concern you? Why or why not? (Mal 4:1)
Today, I want to sing and make some joyful noise about… (Psa 98)
When have you felt worn out or discouraged by “doing what is right?” (2 Thess 3:6)
As a person of faith, how do you explain and respond to tragedies, natural and human-made disasters, wars and other troubling occurrences in the world? (Luke 21:5)
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!
