The Vine is considering the relationship between weakness and strength as displayed in the life of Jesus. In this message today, Scott Erickson (painter, speaker, author) shares a message from John 13:3-17. The life of those who follow Jesus is a life where we learn the ways of God's love and then learn to pattern our life in response.

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION:

1. What was a thought or question that came from hearing the message this week?

2. Scott shared the conviction- "Resurrection begins in our vulnerable spaces." Have you seen that principle at work in your life?

3. Read John 13:3-17. What stands out to you in hearing this story today?

4. After Jesus had washed their feet, he said, “I’ve laid down a pattern for you.” How can we wash peoples' feet today? What's an equivalent?

5. Why is it hard to believe that God not only loves you but "it’s you I LIKE?" What's the difference?

6. In the message, Scott had us envision a person who has loved us into being. Who was your person you thought of in your ten seconds?
