If you were unable to be with us on Sunday, you can listen to this sermon here.
Mt 3:1-12
1. How would you like to have John the Baptist as your pastor? How acceptable would his manner and dress code be in church?
2. Folks were coming out of town and traveling through the desert to hear John and be baptized. Why would anyone go to all of this effort to hear this radical preacher?
3. Mtr. Mary spoke of the 'dead wood' and 'chaff' that is in each of us. Can you name your dead wood and chaff? Have you been willing to confess it to God? Have you invited God to burn it or chop it away?
4. John is good at pointing to the gap between the life we profess and the life we live. Do you believe you have these kind of gaps in your life? How are you addressing these gaps, if at all?
5. How do John's and Jesus' ministries compare?
6. Refer to how you described Jesus' ministry. Jesus is God, so his ministry reflects the character of God. Does your image of God align with the attributes of Jesus' ministry? How does it differ? What might that say about a need to reconsider your image of God?
