Digging Deeper

Read Luke 9:28-36

Exploring the Passage

1. Throughout the book of Luke, the question “Who is this (Jesus)?” has been asked repeatedly. In the passage today, we read an answer. Who answers, and how does he answer?

2. What happens in v. 29? Why is it important?

3. What do Moses and Elijah (v.30) represent? Why is this significant?

4. In verse 31, the word “departure” could be translated “exodus.” What gets highlighted in seeing Jesus’ saving work as a new exodus?

On Momentary Spiritual Highs

5. The mountaintop experience of seeing Jesus transfigured was meant to be a temporary experience, even though Peter wanted to keep it going. Are there moments or seasons of your spiritual life you wish to get back to but may have been intended by God to be a temporary encouragement on the journey of faith?

Listening to God’s Voice

6. Who are the leading voices that occupy your attention? Think in terms of what you listen to, read, and watch.

7. How do these voices compare to the space you give to hear Jesus’ voice?

8. What are some of the indicators for you that you are listening to those other voices more than you should (more than Jesus’ voice)?

9. What would it (or does it) look like for you to make time and space to devotedly listen to God’s Son?

10. Pastor Brett encouraged us to listen to Jesus’ words about (1) who he is, (2) what he has done, (3) how to follow him, and (4) the future. In which of these areas do you most need to do more attentive listening?

11. What might it look like for you to guard the priority of Jesus’ voice above all other voices?

12. How might we help one another make Jesus’ voice the one we make it our priority to hear, trust, and obey?
