Here are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:
- The sermon talked about the "song of creation" Can you think of a time recently when you felt a sense of joy or new beginning, like a little burst of that song?
- Read John 20:1-23. John's Gospel draws strong connections between the resurrection and creation. How does understanding Jesus as the embodiment of God's presence, bringing "shalom," reshape our understanding of what the resurrection means?
- Mary Magdalene mistook Jesus for the gardener, connecting him back to the Garden of Eden. Why do you think that image of a gardener is a powerful way to understand Jesus's role after the resurrection? How does it show God's care for us and the world?
- Jesus breathed on his disciples, similar to how God breathed life into Adam. What do you think it means for us to receive that "breath" of the Holy Spirit today?

Below are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:
- The sermon talked about the women at the tomb being filled with "astonishment and amazement." Can you recall a time recently when you felt genuinely amazed by something? What was it, and what made it so surprising or wonderful?
- Read Mark 16:1-8. The sermon connects moments of amazement throughout Mark's Gospel (healings, calming the storm, etc.) to the amazement at the resurrection. How do these earlier moments prepare us for the ultimate amazement of Jesus's resurrection?
- We see that amazement is a sign of God "breaking in." Where do you see signs of God "breaking in" or bringing forth the amazing in the world today, even in ordinary circumstances?
