DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. What take-aways do you have from practicing silence and solitude last week?
2. What has been your experience with The Unhurried Life podcast? Is there an episode that has lingered with you?
3. What is something from the sermon that has stayed with you- either as encouraging, curious or confusing?
4. Why do you think the practice/commandment of sabbath has been so widely dismissed by Christians and churches?
5. Mark shared from three passages on Sunday. Recount each one and share how they can form our view of the Sabbath. (Gen 2:1-2, Exodus 20:8-11, Matt 12:1-8)
6. How is sabbath an act of resistance? What does it help us resist?
7. What is a step you want to take in experimenting with sabbath keeping? (If needed you can consider the four aspects: stop, rest, delight, worship)
