Discussion Questions 13 December 2025

These questions are a starting point to help spark discussion that digs deeper into today’s topic – feel free to adapt or add additional questions of your own.  

  1. What stood out to you from the sermon today?
  2. Where are you currently in a “waiting season”? What does waiting feel like for you right now?
  3. Read Luke 2:25-32 and Psalm 130:-16. What stands out to you about how Simeon waited for God’s promise?
  4. The sermon described Advent as not a story of self-improvement, control, or fixing ourselves, but of God interrupting history. In what ways do we still try to “fix” our waiting instead of inhabiting it? How might this resistance prevent us from experiencing hope?
  5. What is one feeling you’ve been hesitant to bring honestly to God? What might change if you named it in prayer this week without trying to fix it?

Discussion Questions 22 November 2025

‘Can These Bones Live?’

These questions are a starting point to help spark reflection and conversation on today’s message. Feel free to adapt or add your own.

1. Think about a time when your faith felt tired or distant. What did God use to renew your spirit?

2. God asked Ezekiel to speak life over dry bones. What does speaking hope look like in your relationships, workplace or community?

3. Jesus says in John 6:63, “The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” How have you experienced God’s Word or God’s Spirit bringing life to you this year, especially in moments of challenge?

4. Ezekiel needed to personally participate to access God’s restorative power. What areas of your life feel in need of renewal? What’s an action you feel called to take in response?

5. What’s one insight or idea that has impacted you today that you’d like to hold onto or put into practice as we finish the year?

These questions are a starting point to help spark reflection and conversation on today’s message. Feel free to adapt or add your own.

1. In Mark 1:1–13, there are many references to the wild/wilderness. How do you interpret “wild” — is it good, bad or neutral — and how does it contrast with the descriptions of the city later in this chapter? What might “wild” spaces or seasons look like in our lives today?

2. Jesus modelled the good news of the gospel through discipling, teaching truth, healing sickness, casting out evil, praying intentionally, and being moved with compassion. Which of these aspects of Jesus’ ministry feels most like “good news” to you personally, and why?

3. Jesus did many different things — teaching, healing, praying, and showing compassion. Do you think all of these are equally important? As followers of Jesus, how do we know which parts of His example we’re each called to live out?

4. When Jesus heals and restores people, He often reaches out to those who are marginalised or excluded. What does this reveal about the heart of the gospel?

5. Where do you see good news being most needed in your everyday life or community? What are some specific actions that you (or MCAC) could take to reflect the good news of the gospel in a practical way that really connects with people?

Please pray together at your table:
1. Praise God for who we have seen him to be
2. Pray for communities who may need what we have identified in our discussion
3. Pray for us as a church, that God continues to lead us

‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty (Zechariah 4:6)
