NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Whether we know it or not, we’re all seeking something. We’re seeking a place to belong. We’re seeking a community where we can be authentically ourselves. We’re seeking a life of purpose and meaning. We’re seeking a life that is full, abundant, and free. What if I told you there was one place where you could find and discover all of those things? What if I told you that place is the place where you’re sitting now? For the 4 weeks of this series, we’ll take a deeper look at some of the most profound questions that Jesus asked during his earthly ministry that revealed his heart and reveals the heart of your “Home Away From Home.”

SCRIPTURE

John 1:35-42

QUESTIONS

Welcome back! We hope you had a great summer break and are excited to start meeting with your group again. If you haven’t already, spend group time catching up and setting intentions for the new year. The beginning of a school year is a great opportunity to reset group expectations and ground rules. If you’ve already discussed those things, here are a few questions to reflect on from tonight's message:

1. In John 1:38, Jesus turns to two of John the Baptist’s disciples and asks, “What are you seeking?” If Jesus asked you that question today, how would you answer? 
2. When those two disciples asked where He was staying, Jesus replied with “Come and see.” What do you think it means to follow Him even while you have doubts, questions, or uncertainties still in the mix? 
3. One of those disciples was Andrew, who immediately went to tell his brother Simon (Peter), “We’ve found the Messiah!” Peter’s whole story began with that simple invitation: “Come and see.” What stands out to you about the way Jesus invited people into relationship with Him?

Who is someone you could invite to “come and see” this semester?
