John 8:12-20

Discussions Questions to Consider

1) In Jesus' claim that he is the light of the world, their is a promise that comes to us when we follow Him.

Light brings visibility and light brings "life" as in regards to plants, what are things in your life that you now see and/or now are able to enjoy because of the "light of life."

Examples:

• Maybe you now see how God had people in your life that did love you when you thought you were truly alone and not loved.

• Maybe you can see now how harmful sin was to yourself and others when in "darkness" you thought it couldn't do anything harmful.

• Perhaps you are experiencing life in areas of patience and forgiveness when you thought those things could never grow out your heart.

This could be similar to way Nick needed to wrestle with issues from his mom after 15 years but it in no way has to be.

2) "My testimony is true, for i know where I come and where I am going..."

Connecting this verse to a practical application regarding identity.

Have you noticed that when we know where we come from and when we know where we are going, we are more confident to speak truth and live out our faith.

Why do you think that is? 3) This doesn't have to be done out loud, but take a moment to end in prayer and silence. If people have a journal, or they can use their phone, ask the Lord during prayer, "Lord, how do you want to heal me?" and just write down whatever He says.

If people feel comfortable sharing, they can if time allows, but they don't have to.

People can also connect during the week if they want to share with one another about what the Lord wants to heal them from.
