Scripture Passage: Isaiah 6

After gathering, connecting, enjoying refreshments and checking-in or catching up, discuss the following questions.

Questions

1. How do you understand the ascension of Jesus? What is the purpose of it?

2. Can you put into words the connection between Isaiah 6 and Ascension?

3. Without looking at the passage, how many up and down (heaven and earth) connections do you

remember? Look at the passage and find any you may have missed.

4. Why do you think the seraphim covered their feet?

5. Do you have an experience of the holiness of God?

6. Walk through the emotional journey of being Isaiah in this chapter: what would it feel like to

see the throne room, to hear the angels, to have the live coal come at you, to hear the words of

forgiveness, to offer yourself to go, to hear the message you were to share?

7. Can you make sense of Jesus quoting Isaiah 6 when he was telling parables? Why not just put

plain truth in front of people?

8. Share an experience in your life of “down being up” (of something seeming or starting negative

and being positive).

Closing

Spend time as a group in prayer.
