Stations Of The Resurrection: Mary Magdalene

In this next sermon in the Eastertide series, Stations of the Resurrection, Fabs preaches from John 20:1-2 and 11-18, where Jesus meets Mary Magdalene. John 20:1-2, 11-18 www.thevineaustin.org REFLECTION QUESTIONS: 1. What has stayed with you from the sermon- either as encouraging, confusing, or something you are struggling with? 2. Read John 20:11-18. What do you notice in these words today? 3. Consider this question from the Lectio365 app: In what ways might past disappointments or prior expectations be obscuring the things Jesus is doing? 4. What are some areas where "it is still dark?" What makes it hard to imagine restoration and resurrection in those areas, or even what it might look like? 5. Are there stories or identities that you are associated with (good or bad)? And what would it feel like to be seen for who you are beyond these things? 6. Why do you think it is so hard for us to walk in and truly believe what God says is true about us: that we are valuable and loved? What might look different in your life if this felt 100% true.
