THREE THINGS TO KNOW
DON’T MISS THIS
Last weekend we updated the SERMON DISCUSSION GUIDE format based on feedback and research. We work hard to provide leaders with resources that best facilitate good discussions. If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to us at sdg@adabible.org.
GROUP VALUES
This April, we are focusing on the group value of RELATIONAL INVESTMENTS. This is all about developing a heart for those in our lives who don’t know Jesus. Talk with your group about who you are praying for to come to know Jesus. What opportunities has God provided to be intentional in your conversation? Keep praying for each person and God to grow your heart for the gospel.

THIS WEEK’S SERMON
Guest Speaker John Dickson talked about who Jesus is. As a group, name his main points.
Which one of the points stood out to you the most, and why?
How does what John said about Jesus affirm or challenge how you view him?
People through the ages have viewed Jesus as either “just” a teacher or barely see him as a teacher at all. What are the dangers of both of these views?
One of the most extraordinary things about Christianity is that salvation comes through faith in Jesus as our Savior. How is this different from our own views of salvation or what other religions require?
Jesus said that when we see him, we see the Father (John 14:9). From our passage and discussion today, what characteristics of God do you see through Jesus?
What changes did the sermon encourage us to make in how we think or act regarding Jesus? Which one do you think you need to make?
Is there anything else about the sermon you wanted to talk about?
