The Life Week 1 "Come & See"

If you missed this weekend's gathering you can stream the audio of the teaching HERE, or download it via ITunes and listen to it when and where you want HERE


SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:

John 1 (vv.1-28; 29-34; 35-39; 40-47; 48-51)

REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: When you think of Jesus, what words and images come to mind? Who do you think He was? What was He about? What does He mean to your life?

Q: Do you think John was right when he said that looking at Jesus helps us understand God (John 1:17-18)? What has Jesus taught you about God?

Q: In the first chapter of his story about Jesus, John alternates between talking about Jesus in cosmic and earthly terms. How do you most often think/talk about Jesus? As the word of God who created everything- or the Jewish man who came on the scene as the Messiah 2000 years ago?

Q: Jesus makes Himself accessible to John and Andrew and invites them to spend time with Him (John 1:35-39). Do you think Jesus still does the same for us today? If so, how?

Q: Jesus sees and calls out he good in both Simon and Nathaniel (John 1:40-47) when He first meets them. If Jesus did the same for you, what would He say to you? If you are discussing this in a group, what good do you think Jesus would name in the others you are talking with?

Q: Look at the shift in Nathaniel’s opinion of Jesus in John 1:46-51. Has your opinion of Jesus changed/grown? If so, what would you say caused it?

FOR NEXT WEEK:
Read the 2nd chapter of John’s story of Jesus’ life.
