Discussion
Starters
- Who
were or are the most significant teachers in your life? Why were they
significant?
- What is
most important: the teacher or the ideas they teach? Perhaps it is a bit of
both?
- What motivated
Greek teachers and Hebrew teachers? What motivated John the Baptist? How was
Jesus different than these others?
- As a follower of Jesus what is the most important aspect
of being a disciple?
- How would you describe your faith to someone else? What words would
you use to describe yourself? E.g., Baptist, etc.
- Why is it dangerous to know
things about Jesus, but not know Him personally? What happens when we know
about Him but do not know Him?
- Why is the story of Phillip and Nathaniel so important that John
preserved it for us?
- What implications of this story in John 1 are there for
evangelism and mission?
- How do we cultivate a deeper relationship with Jesus as individuals
and as a community of faith?
- Jesus promised Nathaniel he would see greater things. What greater
things did he see? Do wee see?
