If you missed this weekend's gathering you can stream the audio of the teaching HERE, or download it via ITunes and listen to it when and where you want HERE.
SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:
John 2 (vv.1-2, 3-4, 5, 6-11, 13-14, 15-17, 18-22)
REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: How do you feel when you think about Jesus attending a week long party- complete with wine? And then making lots of “good wine”? Does this mesh with your previous images of Jesus?
Q: Why do you think Jesus did the wine into water miracle? Who was it for? What message was He sending?
Q: When He shows up to worship, Jesus finds the temple junked up with vendors. Have you had a similar experience where you felt like a special place or thing was ruined by commercialism or exploitation? If so, how did you feel? Respond?
Q: Are you surprised that Jesus makes a whip and gets physical with the vendors in the temple? Is He condoning violence as a means to advance His agenda?
Q: What light does Jesus’ interaction with the religious leaders shed on His actions and His understanding of His future?
Q: What do you think Jesus’ followers took away from this episode in the temple courtyard? What does it mean to/for us?
