The Vineyard- March 17, 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

Psalm 22
Read vv. 1-21 
-          What ways do you see David describing the troubles he experiences?
-          Does any of this imagery resonate with you?
-          What imagery would you use to describe your troubles, past or present, to God?
Read vv. 22-31
-          How has the mood changed from the first twenty-one verses, to these verses?
-          What do you think accounts for this change in mood?
-          What in your life has helped you transition from periods of lament, to periods of praise?
What do you think it means for us, that we find in the same psalm both intense lament as well as hopeful praise?
What does it mean to know that Jesus lived this experience out, just as we live it out?
