Scripture/Sermon Discussion

• Respond to the scripture readings. What phrase or word or verse jumped out at you?

• If you are familiar with these passages, did you hear them differently now? Why or why not?

• What takeaways do you have from today's sermon?

• How is Jesus like Moses, who led the enslaved people out of slavery into the wilderness to the edge of the Promised Land?

• How does Jesus continue his work? How does he fulfill it?

• What are the parallels between the Isaiah text and Jesus' baptism? 

• How does Jesus' baptism make a claim on us as followers of Jesus? 

•  Is it easier to believe you are "beloved" by another person than it is by God?

• What is the difference?

• When do you most clearly sense God’s “delight” in you?
