50 Days in Luke - Road to Emmaus

Show by The Vine; a church in Austin, TX

Mark concludes our 50 Days in Luke series with the story often called "Road to Emmaus." Luke 24:13-32 www.thevineaustin.org DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. Which of the week’s daily readings stood out to you- either by the questions that surfaced or the encouragement felt? 2. On the road to Emmaus, the disciples describe their disappointment with the words, "We had hoped..." (v. 21). What is something in your life that you could describe with those same words? How has that experience shaped your relationship with God? 3. The disciples were walking with Jesus but couldn't recognize him. What are some expectations, assumptions, or experiences that might keep us from recognizing Jesus at work in our lives? 4. Jesus helps the disciples understand Scripture in a new way, showing how the story ultimately points toward him. What does it mean to read Scripture with Jesus at the center? How might reading Scripture with Jesus at the center change the way we understand God, engage with difficult passages, or relate to people who see things differently? 5. What from the sermon has stayed with you- either as encouraging, confusing or curious? 6. As our internal narratives hold much power, how does this story reshape your narrative about God or humanity? 7. The disciples finally recognize Jesus when he breaks bread with them. What does this moment teach us about the importance of hospitality, friendship, and shared meals? When have you experienced something sacred in an ordinary moment with others? 8. Mark shared his hope that our church would be a community situated between Jerusalem and Emmaus. What can we do as a community (our church and your VineGroup) walk with people as Jesus did in this story?
