**Volunteers sow seeds of #hope.

WEEK 16 (commencing 20 April)
John 8 – Jesus rescues the adulteress and makes more claims about his divinity
What do you think they were going to accuse Jesus of (v 6)? If he agreed with their
interpretation of the Law, were they hoping his compassion would override it?
What do you think Jesus might have been writing in the sand (vv 6-8)? Some may say
that proving Jesus’ divinity is a big part of John’s Gospel (vv 58, 59). Can these verses
help with proclaiming the gospel today? John 9 – Jesus heals a man born blind and
talks about spiritual blindness How might verse 3 guide someone who fears that their
illness or physical condition is a judgement from God? The Pharisees interrogate the
man born blind and end up feeling lectured by him (vv 13-34)! What can this teach us?
The man born blind believes in Jesus. What is the first thing the man then does (see
also Luke 4:8)? John 10 – Those who oppose Jesus do so on the grounds of his claims
to be God Who could ‘the gatekeeper’ be referring to? In verses 30-33 Jesus calls himself the Son of God, and refers to God the Father. The two are one, both are God and
the Jews understood perfectly well that this was his teaching. How helpful are these
verses to those who struggle with belief in the Trinity? John 11 – Jesus raises Lazarus
from the dead. The plot to kill Jesus intensifies What does verse 35, the shortest verse
in the Bible, tell you about Jesus? Why was he crying? Compare verses 45 and 53. Jesus becomes a polarising figure. To what extent is this still true today? John 12 – The
triumphal entry and Jesus predicts his death Why is the information about the disciples’ ignorance in verse 13 useful? How does it add credibility to the Gospel account?
Can you imagine what it must have been like to hear the voice of God (vv 28-30)?
Children’s challenge – A story about sheep John 10:1-21
Listening to God is a really important thing for Christians to do every day. How might
you go about doing this? You might be really good at focusing on God even when
there are lots of things going on around you that might distract you. Or you might like
to stop and listen in a quiet place or even listen to music to help you focus and listen
to God. It is important to find what works for us and try some different things. Take
time this week to try some different ways of listening to God.
Find a quiet spot, read today’s Bible passage again, then sit or lie quietly and listen to
God. Maybe take a notebook and jot down some words or pictures that come to mind
as you focus on God. You could even listen to some music or make some music of your
own while you think about God. Stop what you are doing – perhaps at home or at
school or when you are playing with your friends – and focus
You can also do the
on God for a few minutes. You might like to write or draw
