Apr. 19 - Absolute I AM (Ex. 3:13-15 & Jn. 8:48-59)

Keep growing in your relationship with Jesus: Take the message with you into your week. Reflect on the Bible passage and sermon (posts Sun. afternoon), then use the ideas below to help you talk it over with your friends, coworkers, family, or Grow Group.

Icebreaker idea: What’s something that seems to change constantly…or something that seems like it never changes? Do you tend to prefer things that change or that stay the same?

A way to pray: Thank God for coming in the flesh. Ask Him to help us live out the implications that come up in the group discussion (see below), and to use our lives to draw 2,000 people by 2022 to be baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.

Talk It Over:

• Why does it matter whether God is unchanging? (e.g. How would what I believe and the way I live my life be different if He were changeable? How does my belief in His unchanging nature encourage me?)

• What thrills me most about Jesus being God in the flesh? Who in my life needs to know about this? How can I best demonstrate to others that Jesus is the Lord of (the one in charge of) my life?
