Sermon Notes

  1. The question from Jesus - "what are you seeking?"
      • Jesus' question invites us to a deeper exploration of desire and motivation which are important for a relationship with God from the heart
      • The reaction of Andrew - "he brought him to Jesus"
          • The first thing Andrew does is to share about Jesus and bring his brother to meet him
          • The promise to Simon - "you shall be called Cephas (Peter)"
              • Simon's new name is a promise, something he will slowly grow into

                Discussion Questions:

                1. Why is examining our desires an important part of faith?
                2. Do you agree that most people have a "subterranean river of desires" flowing deeper in their hearts? Or do you think people are generally aware of their innermost desires?
                3. If you felt less pressure to convince or convert someone, would that make it easier for you to share about Jesus and invite others to meet him?
                4. What are other barriers to bringing people to meet Jesus?
                5. How do we become a new person? How is Christian transformation different from the various types of self-improvement we encounter in the culture?
