Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Isaiah 61: 1-11

From the Sermon:

For Isaiah, the _____________ both offers salvation to come and salvation here and now in ways that transform our lives.

Our ____________ is lived out in a way that matters deeply here and now, my friends, for we embody, as the hands and feet of Jesus.

Our ___________ efforts transform lives and give us an opportunity to talk about the “why” of salvation.

Jesus said in his hometown, “Today this scripture has been ___________ in your hearing.”

Grace ___________ us.

Reflection Questions:

What are we saved from?

What are we saved for?

Where do you see God’s transformation revealed today? How do you see God restoring our broken world today? 

How has God transformed and restored you?

Prayer:

Lord, your Word stands both as one of encouragement and challenge because it offers to change us. To change our lives and our hearts. To change our purpose and mission. Lord, open our spirits to such deep and lasting change, and allow us to go forth to share it with the world. Amen.
