Discussion Notes (for use in a small group or individual study)
Sermon: A Life-Changing Walk
Questions:
1. Opening question: What’s a time you completely misunderstood what was happening in a situation—only to realize later you were seeing it all wrong?
2. The sermon was based on the Road to Emmaus story in Luke 24. What stood out to you in the sermon? Do you have any questions to bring up?
3. Review Luke 24:13-36 (this story takes place on the Sunday after Jesus was crucified)
a) What were these men discussing as they walked?
b) Why did they feel hopeless? (see vv. 20-21)
c) Why does Jesus call them foolish?
d) Do you think it is foolish for a Christian to be hopeless? Why or why not?
e) What caused their hearts to start coming to life again? (feel free to discuss one or more verses from the “For Further Study” section below)
f) How are your expectations of the Christian life affected by trials? What helps you to have hope again?
g) What advice would you give to a Christian who is feeling hopeless or bewildered?
4. Read Ephesians 1:18-21. In what ways is the power that raised Christ from the dead at work in believers? What does this look like practically?
5. Now spend some time praying. Ask that your hearts would be set ablaze again through the truth about Jesus. Pray that your eyes would be opened to God’s resurrection power at work in you.
