The Life Week 4: "Identity Confirmation"

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 4:43-54, chapter 5

REFLECT/DISCUSS:
Q: Of the 3 interactions with Jesus we covered in this teaching- which feels more like your own experience? Are you coming for help like the father of the sick child? Did Jesus come find you like the guy by the pool of Bethesda? Are you arguing with Jesus like the Jewish religious leaders?

Q: Do you think one of the folks who got a miracle showed more faith than the other? Who? How?

Q: What parallels do you see in these miracles? What differences do you notice?

Q: What does it stay to you about Jesus that He risked his anonymity to find the paralyzed man he’d healed and continue pointing Him to God?

Q: What problems (Stated and unstated) do the Jewish religious leaders have with Jesus? Can you relate to them at all?

Q: Which of the witnesses Jesus names in John 5 (John the Baptist, His miracles, God, The Scriptures) is the most impressive to you? How has Jesus has confirmed His identity to you personally?

FOR NEXT WEEK:
John 6
