Read John 3

• What stood out to you most after reading this chapter in the Bible?

Reflect on these questions

• Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. As a Pharisee, things like peer pressure, societal expectations, image or status might have made it difficult for Nicodemus to seek Jesus. Have any of these things ever made seeking Jesus difficult for you?

• Why did Jesus use birth as a metaphor for the way he saves and changes people?

Respond with faith in action

• The chapter ends with John the Baptist telling people that Jesus must increase, and that he (John the Baptist) must decrease.

  • What do you think that means?

  • How can you apply this principle to your own life?

Note: We did not have a regular Worship Service on Sunday since we met a Paul Meyer Park, so this Discussion Guide is not connected to a sermon.
