Points for Thought and Discussion From WorkingPreacher.org
- Isaiah believes his unworthiness is also communal. How might his purification affect the community? (Isa 6:1–8)
- How should we put to death bodily deeds while upholding the honour of being an heir of God? (Rom 8:12–17)
- Luther said John 3:16 is the gospel in miniature. What could you add to complete its message?
