John 19:29-29 • “I thirst”
Group Discussion Guide
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 who 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 to you from this week’s teaching on Jesus’ words in John 19:28-30? (Consider reading the passage to start.)
How did the images of “powerful people” strike you?
How does life with Jesus help us celebrate the gift of vulnerability?
Why do you think God’s people turn to “broken cisterns” (Jer. 2:13)? What are our broken cisterns/where do we nibble at the world’s table?
How do you reckon with Jesus, the source of living water, saying, “I thirst.”?
