Stories from the Margin- Daughters of Zelophehad

This week, Fabs shares from an unfamiliar story from scripture found in Numbers 27. Listen to the story of the daughters of Zelophehad and how God wants to reconstruct structures that support the often forgotten and overlooked. www.thevineaustin.org Numbers 27:1-8 REFLECTION QUESTIONS: 1. What about the sermon was encouraging, confusing, or challenging? 2. The sermon talked about how systems can marginalize people without anyone meaning to - just because they're built around a "norm." Where have you seen that happen? 3. What's a system you've been inside that wasn't built with you in mind? How did it shape what you believed about yourself? 4. What about God’s response to the sisters is striking to you? 5. Why do you think God works through people to change systems instead of just fixing them directly? Does this feel encouraging or discouraging? 6. Which posture do you feel closer to: waiting for God to fix it, or trying to fix it all yourself? 7. The change in this story required the daughters to resist, Moses to listen and use his power, and others to give up land they would have inherited. Which role resonates most with you right now? Which role feels hardest? 8. What did you take from the testimony shared on Sunday?
