1. To what degree did the original audience interpret Genesis as scientifically factual about creation vs a message about the creator?
2. If Adam was not actually giving the creatures names, what was the significance of Adam's naming? Couldn't God have just given the names to Adam?
3. If Genesis does not mention evangelism, how did it evolve from Genesis to how beautiful are the feet that share the good news,  go and make disciple? 

1. Can you re-explain more about the connection between sexuality and creation. Are you talking about the days of creation?
2. Why would God invite the gods to share their images in creating humankind? Isn't it more likely that "us" is a preview of the Trinity?
3. How should being made in the image of God affect how we live and our faith?

1. Amos’ famine of the Word was a judgment, sometimes we find the Word dry. Is that a judgment or is something else going on?
2. The two sermons went in quite different directions. As someone who teaches preaching can you comment on the different approaches?
3. What are your recommended rules for hermeneutics, e.g. top 5.

1. What is the lectionary and why are we only following it now? 
2. Did the Israelites believe that the other “gods” were real? 
3. Psalm 82 call us to defend the vulnerable and Luke 10 shows embodied mercy. Are we too comfortable in giving money than offering ourselves in the work of love? 

1. The New Testament presents Jesus’ death and resurrection as separate but connected events. Both play a part in our salvation. What does each achieve? Was His death sufficient?
2. We don’t seem to talk about sin as much today? Why not? Is this a compromise of the gospel?
3. In John 10, Jesus says “My sheep know my voice” Do moments like Mary and disciples after the resurrection, hearing Jesus is something divine/revelation of this?

1. What other costs are there to following Jesus?
2. In the book of Mark, James and John ask Jesus but in the book of Matthew their mother asks Jesus. Is there a difference? Does it change what we take from it?
3. Rox mentioned what happened to Peter, James and John. Do we know what happened to the other disciples?

1. Should we encourage people to ask for a demonstration of Jesus’ power? If so, how do we do that to foster faith?
2. What is the relationship between Jesus’ miracles and faith in the gospels?
3. The sermon wove the four stories together. Are there other lessons in these stories that weren’t picked up?

1. Rox mentioned that this command is not for everyone. How do we know if he is calling us to “sell everything” and follow him?
2. What are the signs of heart that is being choked by wealth?
3. How do we treasure Jesus?

This week's questions:-

1. The exclusion of the leper seems to be primarily religious (I.e., uncleanliness) rather than medical. Why wasn’t health the focus?
2. This healing is also recorded in Mark and Luke. Why is each account a little different?
3. Why would Jesus tell the man not to tell anyone what had happened to him? Would that even be possible?

1. Jesus was travelling to gentiles. Is Luke 8:22-25 foreshadowing/preparing for when they reach the other side? Including comparing verses 25 and 39, saying Jesus is God. 
2. There are unexpected situations where we find Jesus - in the calmed storm - and Jesus does unexpected things. What are those unexpected things he does?
3. Unexpected suffering can wash our faith overboard or strengthen it. How do we prepare ourselves to face storms and mature?
