Betrayal of Jesus

Jesus Enters Jerusalem – Matthew 21:1-11
Jesus is not like other kings, other rulers. In what ways do you understand Jesus to fill this role?
What is the “kingdom of God,” that Jesus announces and fulfills, like?
What is the relationship between celebration and suffering? Have you experienced both, together?

Valley of Dry Bones -Ezekiel 37:1-14
In what ways have you felt “dry”, like a pile of dry bones?
How have you experienced the difference between being “just a body” and having the breath of life?
Where, how, have you felt the wind of God blow this week?

Who Will Be the Next King of Israel – 1 Samuel 16:1-13
When have you forgotten to listen to God, and done your own thing instead?
What qualities do you think are most important in leaders (that you could cultivate in yourself)?
Who are those on the margins, who we don’t regularly notice or consider for certain roles?

Will There Be Water in the Desert? – Exodus 17:1-7
How does the description of the desert resonate, or not, with your experience of wilderness places?
How have you tested God? What were (are!) your complaints?
In what ways has God asked you, through prayer, to do something nonsensical, to get your desired outcome?
