Reframing the Prophet - John 1:15-34

Coming Soon

Each Sunday we come together we offer an open invitation into the way of Jesus. An invitation to enter into sacred rhythms - to draw near to God through singing, giving, learning, and praying.
As a community that desires renewal in Des Moines as it is in Heaven, we recognize that we cannot offer what we ourselves do not have. We cannot lead where we ourselves have not been led; in turn, these questions aim at reflection. Reflecting on God’s word and making space for his leadership.
After watching or listening consider the following discussion questions as a large group or in groups of three to four:
What stood out from the teaching?
If a boundary is outward facing and says to someone approaching, “go no further,” and a limit is inward, you saying to you, “go no further.” What might it look like to receive the gift of your limits?
What is the value of a limit?
How does John’s story give us a roadmap for receiving the gift of our limits? What benefit is it to declare I am not the Messiah?
Discuss the difference between “responsible to” and “responsible for” and what it looks like to live as women and men assured in their identity.
