Weekly Teaching Reflection

September 7th Reflection

Discussion Questions:

1. What does it mean that the Bible tells "one unified story that leads to Jesus"?

  • Can you think of Old Testament moments that find fulfillment in Jesus?

  • How does that change the way you view the Old Testament?

2.Why do you think Josiah’s rediscovery of the Book of the Law led to such deep grief and reform?

  • Have you ever had a moment where Scripture personally convicted or transformed you?

  • What might it look like to "rediscover" the Scriptures today?

3.Luke says he wrote an "orderly account" so that we may know the certainty of what we've been taught.

  • What does "certainty" look like in your faith journey?

  • Do you approach the Gospels for information, transformation, or both?

4.Why is it significant that Luke may have structured his Gospel to reflect Old Testament patterns (like the Parashah or Haftarah readings)?

  • How might this shape the way we read and apply Luke’s Gospel today?

  • How do these echoes of the Old Testament reinforce the identity of Jesus?

5. What do you think it means to be a "Psalm 1 person" in a digital, distracted, post-Bible culture?

  • What does it look like for you personally to “delight in the law of the Lord” and meditate on it day and night?

  • What gets in the way?

6. Have you ever felt like you’ve “lost the book”?

  • In what ways might we subtly drift from Scripture in our day-to-day lives?

  • What does it look like to return to covenant faithfulness in a practical way today?
