Scripture Passage: Isaiah 61:1-7

After gathering, connecting, enjoying refreshments and checking-in or catching up, discuss the following questions.

Questions

1.     How has the Isaiah series been for you?  Is it helpful to stay in one book for a season?

2.     Does it make sense to you that Isaiah refers to himself, to Jesus and to us all at the same time?  Is this helpful?

3.     Does it make sense to you that Jesus, though the Son of God, worked in the power of the Holy Spirit?  Do you see how this helps us understand our ministry work?

4.     Do you mostly see yourself as the broken person or the person binding up the broken person?

5.     Can you put into your own words how the day of favor and the day of vengeance are the same thing?

6.     Pastor Erick suggests that the material of Isaiah 61 is all also found in the gospel stories.  Does this work for you?

7.     Do you regularly think of yourself as empowered by the Spirit?

8.     When have you seen the Spirit at work in you?

9.     Does it make sense to you to think of dancing with the Spirit where you allow the Spirit to lead?

10.   Any other thoughts or comments on this passage or message?
