If you were not with us on Sunday you can listen to this sermon at http://www.standrewsonline.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=39&Itemid=79
Luke 10:1-11, 16-20 & Open Arms by Journey
1. How does “Open Arms” rank for you in the songs we’ve looked at in the Totally 80s Sermon Series?
2. In v. 3 Jesus sends out the 70 “like lambs into the midst of wolves.” How does that resonate with your experience as a Christian in increasingly secular workplaces and neighborhoods and groups?
3. Jesus tells his disciples to share God's peace with those we encounter in our days. If our peace is accepted, we find a way to share the Good News; if our peace returns to us we are to move on. What are different ways that we might "share the Good News?" Why does this tend to be uncomfortable for us?
4. Fr. Mike spoke to the darkness that we lie in when we are overcome by our sin or overwhelmed with the circumstances of our lives. Recall a time when this was the case for you. Has Jesus felt present to you in the midst of these times? If not, why do you think that is so? Do you trust that Jesus will be present to you if you invite him into your darkness?
5. Many of us grew up going to church, learning about Jesus and being part of the community of faith. Was there a time when you left? If so, what caused you to come back to stay?
6. Fr. Mike spoke to our images of how Jesus encounters us. What is your image? Is your image one of Open Arms?
