Stuck in Saturday

How do you think the disciples felt during this Easter weekend? For modern people it is easy to celebrate Good Friday because we know that Easter Sunday brings the celebration of Jesus back from the dead. What if you were living in the moment and the prophet, healer, teacher and your friend is now dead? Many people still live “in the Saturday” of believing in Jesus but not experiencing the truth of Sunday’s resurrection. Today’s Easter 2022 sermon looks at those who are stuck in their Saturday.

Matthew 26

Discussion topics

1. What did you hear, see, or feel different about this past Easter celebration than you have experienced before? Is there a way that you see Jesus differently now?

2. We discussed that there were many characters in this story – people who were trying to be the hero, people who were the victims, people who tried to control and those who were passive, those driven by emotions, and then Jesus the servant. Which one do you most identify with in your own life?

3. Where in your life are you stuck in your Saturday? Where in your life are you doing all that you can to overcome life by yourself when all the while there is a servant savior ready to help you find the freedom that you are craving?
