11.5.23 - Understanding 'Fulfillment' in God's Story (Kenny Camacho)
Manage episode 382387458 series 3023894
SCRIPTURE: Luke 21-22
REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
How would you summarize the “Bible Story” as you have heard it or come to understand it? Who is the “main character”? What is the “journey”?
How is this story different from the kinds of stories we tend to tell in our own culture? In our lives? In our churches?
Kenny said that, “ if we’re going to talk about fulfillment in a story–in any story!–we have to recognize what we think we’re hoping for.” What are you “hoping for” in your own story?
Read Luke 21:10-19… what do we learn here about how “God’s Story” works? What do you think “fulfillment” means in this story?
The central point in the sermon today was that “Biblical fulfillment requires that we let go if we’re going to get it.” What do you think this means? How might it apply to your story so far? What do you need to “let go”?
What is the “problem” God has sought to solve in the world? How does the Jesus story begin to answer that problem?
Consider the story of the Lord’s Supper in Luke 22. What does “fulfillment” seem to look like in this story?
Kenny said that, “Luke’s understanding of fulfillment challenges where we think we are in the story.” What do you think this means?
If you are already God’s beloved… how does that change the direction your story is supposed to go?
