“Sing, O Barren One!”
Isaiah 54:1-10
Discussion questions
What most stands out to you in these passages and why?
If it's true that in the gospel our happiness and success no longer depend on us but have been relocated to Jesus, how does/could that practically play out in our lives?
Can you think of a "barren" season in your life that the Lord ultimately turned to rejoicing or singing?
Are there any areas of your life which currently feel empty or barren that God is calling you to sing over? Are there ways we as a Home Group can join you in that song?
Based on what Joel said, what do you think it means that "the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married" (vs. 1)? How and why is this good news for us?
In light of the resurrection, how does the call to “expect great things from God and attempt great things for God” (William Carrey) challenge you?
Is there anything you might be holding back from God (vs. 2) that is preventing you from rejoicing in the gospel this week?
