The Fourth Sunday in Lent - Fr. Drew Knowles Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Book of Genesis (Week 20) - Lauren Blake Reflection Questions:  Why is the theme of sacrifice core to the stories of Christ followers in Scripture? Why is sacrifice the mechanism for prosperity, salvation, and eternity? How should Christians approach the idea of legacy? If legacy is setting up future generations, how can we "plan" for the future while not slipping into control and idolatr...

The Book of Genesis (Week 19) - Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Questions:  Although Isaac was clearly not an infant in Genesis 22, how might we use the logic of Genesis 22 to build a case for infant baptism? Why do you think the Bible teaches us to bury the dead? What is the symbolic significance of burial? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Book of Genesis (Week 18) - Fr. Andrew Gray Reflection Questions: Rather than living like Lot in the city, how can we follow Abraham's example and seek the blessing of our city? How ought we intercede on behalf of the city? Where else (in both Scripture and history) do we see birth leading to the blessing of the gentile nations? Hosted on Acast.

The Book of Genesis (Week 17) - Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Questions: Read Deuteronomy 19:15. Where else in the Bible do we see two witnesses being sent to scope out a wicked city prior to the city being judged and destroyed? The narrative arc of the story of Lot has a “Lot” to teach us about Christian perseverance. Jesus says as much in Luke 17:32. The fact that God has rescued us does not precl...

The Book of Genesis (Week 16) - Sarah Stone Reflection Questions: Read Matthew 25:34-40 and Hebrews 13:2. What are some ways you can show humility and hospitality to God in your own life today? What are some opportunities the Lord has given you to offer rest and comfort? If Abraham represents God’s chosen people (Israel and, later, the Church) what does this tell us about how God interac...

The Book of Genesis (Week 15) - Martin Reyna Reflection Questions: Why do you think God chooses Isaac, the younger brother, to be the child of promise rather than Ishmael, the older? How do we see this theme play out throughout Scripture? Abraham's entire household was circumcised, not just Abraham and his direct descendants. By belonging to Abraham's household, many who did not share in Hebrew bl...

The Fifth Sunday of Epiphany - Fr. Drew Knowles Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Book of Genesis (Week 14) - Fr. Andrew Gray Reflection Questions: How does this passage highlight the complexity of human choices and God's overarching plan? Can we expect God to intervene? Why?  In Genesis 16, we see God meeting Hagar at a spring of water, which points to the theme of men meeting their brides at a well. How does the encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well in Jo...

The Book of Genesis (Week 13) – Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Questions:  In Genesis 15, Abram questions the “how” of God’s promises:  “what will you give me?” (v2) and “how am I to know?” (v8). Compare this with Luke 1:18. Why do you think Zechariah (an elderly man with a barren wife) is punished for asking the same question as Abram? God made promises to Abram that were not fulfilled for...

The Book of Genesis (Week 12) – Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Questions: In chapter 9, Noah curses the Canaanites. Yet Abram consistently befriends Canaanites, blesses Canaanites, and goes out of his way to rescue people like Lot, who are associated with Canaanites. In New Covenant terms, Christian terms, what is Abram doing? What does Genesis 14 teach us about the bread and wine we receive from our...
