Isaiah 66:1-20 - Isaiah uses powerful imagery of motherhood to describe God's people, Israel. Why do you think this imagery is used? What similarities do we see in the New Testament for describing God's chosen people?
Luke 3:21-38 - Can anyone tell me something interesting about each of the men in the genealogy? I'd be amazed. If John's Gospel reminds us from the beginning that Jesus was before the world, Luke is reminding us here that as a human, Jesus didn't just come out of nowhere. Even something as bland as a genealogy has something to teach us. God had established His plans from the onset. Luke places the Baptism and the family line right next to each other as if to say, "See, this is the Son of God and Son of Man." This truth continues to be a stumbling block for many, and is in fact the key to what Jesus has done for us at the cross.
