Small Group Questions
- Talk about when Jesus “found you”. Share with one another some of the details of your salvation testimony and rejoice together over what He has done.
- Discuss how Jesus has continued to grow you, provide for you, and care for you since you came to faith.
- Discuss the three titles Nathanael uses to address Jesus; Rabbi, Son of God, and King of Israel. What do each of these reveal about Who Jesus is, what He came to do, and what He will do in the future?
- After Jesus called Philip, he immediately went and told Nathanael. Who is the first person that comes to your mind that you still need to share the gospel with? How can your group help encourage you as you seek to share the gospel with that person? Be sure to pray together for the salvation of each person mentioned.
