REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. Kenny discussed how the Puritans once saw themselves as a “city on a hill” for others to admire from afar. How does this view compare/contrast to the story of Exile we have been studying? 

  2. In what ways might you be trying to create a perfect “Christian bubble”... rather than engaging with the community around you?

  3. Read Isaiah 42:1-9 again. How does the description of the “suffering servant” challenge our typical ideas of what power and justice look like? Where in your life might God be calling you to exercise power through gentleness rather than force?

  4. How might the description of “exile” in this series impact our understanding of what it means to be God's people in our current cultural moment?

  5. What would change in your daily life if you viewed your current situation not as an accident… but as God's purposeful placement? 

  6. What can our study of the Exile teach us about how to be a healthy church here at Revolution? What part can you play in creating this kind of community?
