BULLETIN


Below are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:


  1. What is your favorite parody movie or song? What do you appreciate about it?
  2. Read Matthew 23. Jesus talked about "blind guides" who lead people astray. Who are some voices in our lives (on social media, in the news, or even people we know) that we need to be careful about listening to?
  3. When might we be "blind guides" to others. When have we been tempted to insist that our way is the only way, or to place burdens on others? How can we be more aware of these tendencies and practice humility and empathy instead?
  4. Jesus criticized the Pharisees for focusing on small details while neglecting important things like justice and mercy. What are some "small details" in our lives that might be distracting us from what truly matters?

Bulletin


Here are some questions to help you reflect on the sermon:

  1. Read Matthew 21:1-22. What "mountains" (or idols) do we have in our lives that might be keeping us from truly trusting in Jesus?
  2. Jesus welcomed the people that the temple leaders rejected. How can we be more welcoming to those who might feel left out or marginalized in our community?
  3. Contrast the outward 'perfect practice' of religion with the true heart of worship. How do we balance the importance of religious practices with the need for genuine faith and relationship with God? How can we avoid turning our faith into a legalistic process?
  4. Jesus, through the cross, 'throws it all into the sea' and brings the 'blind and lame' into God's presence. How does this image give you hope for yourself and the world?
