Foundations - Luke 24

  1. What is the Bible all about? How would you summarize the Bible with someone who had never read it?

  2. Read Luke 24:17-27. How does Jesus understand the Bible’s main message, according to these verses?

  3. The Bible is one big Story, and at the center of the story is Jesus - his life, death and resurrection. The Bible’s own word for this story is Gospel, or Good News.
    Read Romans 1:16. What does this verse tell us about the Gospel?

  4. Rehearse together the two perspectives we discussed this morning. Each perspective has 4 basic plot-points. Can you explain what these plot points mean? (If not, don’t fret! That’s what the Fall Focus is about.)

    • Gospel On The Ground

      • God

      • Man

      • Christ

      • Response

    • Gospel In The Air

      • Creation

      • Fall

      • Redemption

      • Consummation

  5. Consider the 3 commitments that were presented this morning. What specific steps can you take to participate in this 3-part challenge? Share with one another and pray that God moves mightily among us this Fall!

    • Communion. Commit to regular rhythm of time with God through prayer and scripture. Ask God to meet you as you establish the habit.

    • Community. Commit to being present on Sunday mornings, and consider joining a Community Group or Bible study where you can interact and share with one another in a meaningful way.

    • Commission. Consider where Jesus might be sending you this fall. As we trace the contours of the Gospel story together, ask Jesus the question, “Who do I know that needs to hear this?”
