a united methodist congregation.

questions

  1. Read Mark 11:1-11. What is your initial reaction to this text and/or to the sermon? 
  2. As Jesus processes into Jerusalem, the people cry “Hosanna!” which means “Save us!” Who is crying out to be saved now?
  3. Jesus' procession into Jerusalem is an intentional political statement that he is the true king and that his kingdom is one of nonviolent shalom, as opposed to the violent suppression of the Roman Empire. Where do you see this kind of resistance in our world? 
  4. Who inspires you to take action? What do they inspire you to do?
