PrayRead So tonight we’re gonna be talking about suffering and the symbolism of the gospel in this story with the blind man.  9:2 So from the get-go, we have a serious problem that the disciples have just set up a “false dichotomy” about the reason for this man to be blind. It wasn’t because heContinue reading “John 9”

8:31-38 What do y’all notice about this passage? What does it mean to “abide” in Jesus\’ words? 8:31 What\’s it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? 8:31 What is the truth?

ReadPray 7;37-39 Jesus here explains that He is the fulfillment of and significance of the ceremony.  This living water is the life, strength and joy and the renewing work of the HS within the believer.  Jesus here seems to say that this joy and strength will flow out of us to those thirsting for life. Continue reading “John 7:37-8:30”

ReadPray So what do y’all think the point of this passage is? What lessons are taught here?

ReadPray 6:1-15 What do y’all notice in these passages? 6:5-6 Notice how the Lord tested Philip\’s faith. And how this test resulted in a great blessing for many ppl. Does the lord test us today?

Read.Pray 4:27-42 The main point of the text? Jesus gained fulfillment of the father’s will. Much in the same way we do as well. and we still live in an age ripe for harvest.

ReadPray 3:22-36 What\’s happening? Jesus\’ ministry popularity increases. The Baptist’s disciples exhibit jealousy over this and The Baptist shows humility, joy and devotion to Jesus in refusing to be jealous of Him.  3:26 Do y’all think this dispute was really over purification or something more? Jealously?  Jealously probably given “and all are going to Him!”Continue reading “John 3:22-4:26”
