    Day 3: John 16:1-15

    Stories: Persecution, Holy Spirit Continued

    Curiosities:

    1) How could we fall away? Why do we need to know these things in advance?

    2) It is better that Jesus goes away so the Holy Spirit will come - that’s a powerful testimony of the power and place of the Holy Spirit in our lives

    3) Sin, righteousness and judgment - these three things are the main three things that cause people to reject God.

    Sinful hearts hate for their sin to be exposed. We want to hold onto it.

    Sinful hearts want to be self-righteous. Our sinful nature wants to make excuses for our sin and why it’s not really all that bad. We want to excuse ourselves.

    Sinful hearts do not want to be judged, but to do the judging. By only judging others, we feel we can keep judgment against us at an arms length, and thereby control who we feel has access to judge us.

    The problem with these three things is that we are sinful, we have no righteousness of our own and we have a judge whom we didn’t choose and we have no control over - He is the one who has already judged Satan.

    4) The Spirit will teach us things in season as we are ready for them. We should seek and ask constantly for the Spirit to teach us new things and free our hearts from darkness.

    Stories: Contention with the world

    Curiosities:

    1) Why do we get hated by the world just for following Jesus and doing His will? If the world loves us, does that mean we don’t belong to Jesus? John told us in chapter one that the people Jesus created to love Him chose not to - they rejected Him - because they loved darkness; sin. If they rejected Jesus, they will reject us too, but not everyone rejects.

    2) Who is the Advocate?

    3) The testimony of the Apostles

    Day 1: John 15:1-17 Stories: Love One Another Curiosities: 1) What does it mean to bear fruit? Will we be cut off if we don’t produce fruit? What is the difference between pruning and cutting? How can we remain in Jesus? 2) What does it mean if we ask for what we want and it is […]

    Stories: Love One Another

    Curiosities:

    1) What does it mean to bear fruit? Will we be cut off if we don’t produce fruit? What is the difference between pruning and cutting? How can we remain in Jesus?

    2) What does it mean if we ask for what we want and it is not done? Does that mean that we are not in Jesus?

    3) We are not servants of God - this is one of the most powerful statements of the Bible. By believing and fellowshipping with Jesus, we are granted the rights to be friends of God. That isn’t a trite way of saying we are friends and servants, but that we are actually friends. God calls us friends! He has not held back anything from us.

    4) How can we love one another?

    Day 5: John 14:15-31 Stories: The Holy Spirit & Obedience Curiosities: 1) This is a hard passage to wrap our minds around. Jesus tells us that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments.

    Day 5: John 14:15-31

    Stories: The Holy Spirit & Obedience

    Curiosities:

    1) This is a hard passage to wrap our minds around. Jesus tells us that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. He is equating love to obedience, something that the Pharisees were so intent on. How is Jesus’ commandment here different from the Pharisees understanding of obedience?

    2) Jesus doubles down on the obedience thing by saying if we don’t obey, we don’t love Him. This causes me to really wrestle with the proper place and understanding of obedience. How can we focus on obeying God without losing our love for Him like the Pharisees? Like the church of Ephesus in Revelation? How can we obey in faith and not in our own strength?

    3) The fact that the Holy Spirit will be our teacher is so comforting. God has not left us alone, but has given us a Teacher who can communicate with us as often as we are willing to engage with Him. Are you willing to speak to the Holy Spirit often and throughout the day?

    Paradoxes: If the world accepts us, does that mean we don’t have the Holy Spirit? In what way does the Holy Spirit bring conflict into our lives that didn’t exist before? Should we live at peace with those around us, or will living life in the Spirit bring us conflict?

    Day 4: John 14:1-14 Stories: Ask me for anything… Curiosities: 1) Why is Jesus preparing a place for us? Couldn’t He just speak it into being? In what way is Jesus preparing a place for us? 2) Why does Jesus tell the disciples they know where He is going when clearly they don’t? Does’t Jesus know […]

    Day 4: John 14:1-14

    Stories: Ask me for anything…

    Curiosities:

    1) Why is Jesus preparing a place for us? Couldn’t He just speak it into being? In what way is Jesus preparing a place for us?

    2) Why does Jesus tell the disciples they know where He is going when clearly they don’t? Does’t Jesus know they don’t know? This is a very interesting exchange. He is speaking of Himself being the “place” rather than a place to go. Knowing Jesus is much more important than knowing the right answers or having everything together.

    3) The last part of this passage is actually disturbing. Jesus makes it clear that if we believe in Him, we will do the works that He did. He is speaking of healing and deliverance in addition to preaching and teaching. Asking anything in His name is a scary endeavor. Will we be willing to step out and begin asking Jesus to do the things He did through us today?
