11.10.24 - What If There's More? The Signs of Jesus, Part 2 (Kenny Camacho)

SCRIPTURE: John 9-12


THE MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS WEEK’S SERMON CAN ALSO BE FOUND HERE!

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. What have you been learning in this series on John’s gospel? Have you felt challenged by anything in particular?

  2. Do you feel afraid? What are your specific fears today? It is okay to acknowledge them… and to share them with God.

  3. In what ways do you think our fears about life, like fear of not having enough or fear of death, can limit our ability to experience the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

  4. In this section of John’s gospel, Jesus is the “Sign”... but how would you describe who or what Jesus is pointing towards?

  5. How does the story of “the man who was born blind” in John 9 reveal the limits we put on the Story God might be telling? What do you see in the disbelief of the Pharisees in this story? In the man’s faith (v. 35-41)?

  6. How do Martha's words to Jesus about her brother Lazarus show both anger and hope? What does this teach us about processing our emotions?

  7. What do you think this means: “Sin and Death might bind you, but they cannot keep you”? How does this idea shape your understanding of freedom in faith?

  8. Why do you think it’s important to be open to seeing the world through a larger story? How can this perspective affect your daily choices?
