SHARE YOUR STORY

Pair up With Someone

Your story is being shaped, even in this moment, by being a part of this group. In fact, few things can shape us more than community.

PAIR UP WITH SOMEONE

When we share our stories, we can encourage someone else, and learn. We experience the presence of God, as He helps us be brave enough to reveal our thoughts and feelings.

IN YOUR GROUP. (WE SUGGEST THAT MEN PARTNER WITH MEN AND WOMEN WITH WOMEN.) THIS PERSON WILL BE YOUR SPIRITUAL PARTNER FOR THE REST

When you hear Christians talk about or teach that Jesus is the only way to God, what is your response?

QUESTIONS FROM THE HEART OF A SEARCHER.

Don’t all faith paths lead eventually to the same God? Ut prendip sandianis estorrovit lat. Da alitius, is voluptate volorro offictur? Cusaperatet fugiae perum dolor aut pro vellame ntotaspident audit quasped ignihicia elest, vellante restrum aut aut ra cum num, quam delia.

STORY BY: GREG SURRATT In verse 1, John mentions “the Word.” Who is John talking about?

How can a “word” be a person?

In his teaching, Dale asked, “Does our Bible make exclusive claims about our gospel?” How would you answer that question?

This passage also uses the metaphor of “light” to describe Jesus.

What characteristics does light have that would also be true of Jesus?

READ JOHN 6:37-38

READ JOHN 6:39-40

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

“For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

“Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.”

All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.

SUMMARY: Use the following space to write any thoughts God has put in your heart and mind about the things we have looked at in this session and during your Daily Devotions time this week.

RESPOND: What are you hungry for, spiritually speaking?

RESPOND: What do you think Jesus meant when He spoke of “the bread of God?” What desires or longings do Jesus’ words stir in you?

“And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

16

RESPOND: Why do you think some people encountered Jesus yet didn’t believe?

In what ways does this still happen today?

RESPOND: Does Jesus’ statement seem “inclusive” or “exclusive?” What does it mean to come to Jesus?

RESPOND: What promise does Jesus make in this passage? What does He say people must do to be saved? What is your response?

TAKING ACTION: How will you put these insights into action?
