On Sunday, November 26, 2023 at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on John 8:12. This message was part 1 in the “Light of the World” sermon series. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read John 8:12
- What evidence of “darkness” do you see in the world today?
- The backdrop of Jesus’ statement in John 8:12 is the Festival of Tabernacles. Based on our look at this festival this morning, in what way was this a good backdrop for Jesus’ statement?
- By proclaiming to be the “Light of the world,” Jesus was claiming to be God … who was present with His people! Have you ever been comforted by the notion that God is with you in your time of need or struggle? Share a time when this was so.
- Jesus was not just another good man, but God Himself who came to rescue us and lead us to true life. This is why we not only celebrate Him at Christmas time, but also follow Him all the days of our lives! What are some ways you can remind yourself and those in your network this Christmas that Jesus is God?
- Jesus invites us to follow Him and if we do, He promises that we will not stay in darkness. Are you following Him with your life today? If not why not? Is there any “darkness” you are clinging to today instead of following Him into the light of life?
- What is one particular application you took away from this message?
