Sermon Discussion Questions
1) Dan Allendar says scapegoating is "so much more than blame-shifting. We’re talking about the reality that we not only want to blame, we not only project, we not only identify somebody else as the fault, but we want them to suffer.” What scapegoats do conservatives often identify and lambast? What scapegoats do progressives typically target and defame? What scapegoats are you tempted to fear and loath? How does Jesus expose our hearts in this?
2) Flannery O’Conner famously said that the South is not so much Christ-centered as Christ-haunted. Where are you Christ-haunted? How are you tempted to “increase, so that Jesus must decrease," or escape his superior glory and authority for fear of humiliation?
3) What does delighting in Christ’s unspeakable glory look like for you? (Think of how we’re all in Barabbas’ place) How can you bring Christ’s glory to shine on more of your life and conversations?
