The Vineyard- January 27, 2013


The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Luke 4:14-30
-          When the report begins circulating about Jesus, what is He doing?  What does this tell you about the importance of Jesus’ teaching versus His miracles?
-          Jesus reads a passage from Isaiah that is actually about Himself.  What do you think it would have been like to hear Jesus’ read a prophetic passage, knowing He was the fulfillment of that passage?
-          Why do you think that the crowd expected Jesus to perform miracles in Nazareth?
-          What connection is Jesus making between His ministry, and that of Elijah and Elisha?
-          Why does the crowd suddenly turn violent?
-          Have you ever reacted with jealousy, anger, or disappointment, when you realized that others were receiving blessings that you wanted?  Have you ever been resentful of the forgiveness God extends to others?

Hebrews 11:1-7
-         How does this passage describe faith?
-         How is it that Abel still speaks, if he is dead?
-         Why is it impossible to please God without faith?  What does faith lead to our seeking of God?
-         How is Noah’s construction of the ark an act of faith?  How did that act of faith condemn the world?
