Show Notes

Looking Above - Episode 8

This week we're discussing John Chapters 15 and 16 and exploring Jesus' teachings.  

Discussion Questions:

  1. Talk about the imagery of Jesus as the vine and each of us as branches.  Could you come up with a modern-day equivalent?

  2. What is the purpose of the vine? Of the branches?  What type of fruit do we bear?

  3. Have you ever been thru a season of pruning?  What did that look like?  Were you more fruitful afterward?

  4. Discuss abiding in Jesus.  What does that look like for you?  Share ideas with each other regarding how you can arrange your lives so there is never a day you don't connect with the vine.

  5. Have you ever witnessed someone laying down their life for a friend?  What could that look like?

  6. How do you feel about the concept of being a friend of Jesus?  Are you a good friend?

  7. Jesus warned of persecution.  Why did He do this?  What does this tell us about Jesus?

  8. What are some of the roles the Holy Spirit can play in our lives?  Can you give examples of times you have experienced Him in each of these roles?

  9. Chapter 6 verse 13 calls the Holy Spirit the "Spirit of Truth" discuss and contrast the work of the Holy Spirit  with the work of the "Father of Lies."

  10. Why does Jesus teach to pray using His name? / John 16:33 - What hope does this verse give you?
