BULLETIN


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

  1. Can you think of a time when you felt yourself becoming the thing you disliked or hated? What triggered that, and how did it make you feel?
  2. Read Matthew 26:31-75. Why do you think Peter and the disciples so strongly denied their potential for failure? How does this relate to our own tendencies toward self-deception?
  3. Why do you think Matthew chose to keep the sword holder unnamed? How does this encourage us to see ourselves in the narrative?
  4. What does it mean to "absorb evil” rather than perpetuate it, as Jesus did on the cross? In a world driven by retaliation, how can we apply this principle of “absorbing evil” in our daily lives?

Bulletin


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

  1. Where do you see "wasteful" acts of love and devotion in today's world, and how are they perceived by others?
  2. Read Matthew 26:6-13. Why was the woman’s act seen as wasteful? Can you think of a time when someone's act of generosity or love seemed "wasteful" to others? How can we cultivate a heart that appreciates and responds to God's extravagant grace?
  3. Read Matthew 14:-32. The sermon emphasized how the disciples allowed their "I" to get in the way. Where in your own life do you see your "I" taking priority over God's will? Are there any specific situations where you need to examine your motives?
  4. We often fear failure and try to hide our weaknesses. How does the message that Jesus goes before us in Galilee, even after our failures, comfort you? How can we create a safe space where we can acknowledge our weaknesses and support each other in times of failure?
