Sermon Talks
- What stood out to you most from the sermon or the passage in Luke 19:28–44?
- Have you ever had a moment when God asked you to do something that didn’t make sense at the time? How did you respond?
- Jesus told the disciples to say, “The Lord needs it.” What’s something in your life you think the Lord might be saying that about right now?
- The people laid down their cloaks for Jesus. What “cloak”—identity, comfort, pride, fear—do you feel Jesus is asking you to lay down?
- Why do you think we tend to hold onto things Jesus is asking us to surrender? What are we afraid of losing?
- In what ways do we worship safely or silently today, and what might bold, public worship look like in our context?
- Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they didn’t recognize their moment. What might it look like for someone today to miss their “day of visitation” from God?
- What are signs that someone is going through the motions spiritually? How can we move from surface-level faith to a deeper relationship?
- What’s one thing you feel God is asking you to lay down this week? How can this group support you in taking that step?
- If Jesus walked into our church or community today, what might make Him weep? What do you think would bring Him joy?
