Here's Your Sign--Lesson 7--Living It Up at a Funeral--John 11

Discussion Questions:

1. Have you had any situations where it felt like Jesus knew you needed Him but He was

deliberately staying away?

2. How does resurrection offer us more than just coming back from the dead? What

difference does it make that resurrection is a person instead of a concept?

3. Do you agree that God’s punctuation is more of an ellipsis instead of a period? How does

resurrection tie into this?

4. If Jesus knows He is about to raise Lazarus from the dead, why are His emotions stirred

leading to Him weeping? How does this portray the kind of High Priest Jesus is?

5. How does believing in Jesus as the resurrection and the life affect the way you handle

things that come up in your day-to-day living? If it does not affect things in a positive way,

can you really say you believe?

see?

your own ability to worship from this account in John 9?

Here's Your Sign--Lesson 5--Overcoming More than the Elements--John 6:15-21

some ways to keep these in proper order?

2. What kind of a King would send His followers into the dark and storms and then allow

them to struggle for a long while?

3. Share a time in your life when God demonstrated to you that He is a God who sees

(Yahweh Roi). How does this give you confidence in the midst of the current storms you

encounter?

4. Why is it important that Jesus didn’t calm the storm before walking on the sea? How does

this fact illustrate the kind of King Jesus is? How does this tie to the picture of the sea in

the book of Revelation?

5. What is the significance of God not removing the darkness, but giving boundaries to it?

How have you seen God use darkness in your own life?
