Group Life Beyond Belief

4/29/2019

John 20:19-31 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Debbie Collicott

Questions for Personal and Small Group Considerations on the Sunday Gospel Reading (John 20:19-31) taken from the Serendipity Bible:

Why are the disciples fearful now?
Of all the things Jesus must have said, why does John record “peace be with you” three times (vv. 19,21,26)? How does this relate to their fears? To their being sent?
How does Thomas’ personality compare to Mary’s (v. 13)? To the other disciples (vv. 9,19)?
How does Jesus deal with Thomas’ doubt (v. 29)? What is significant about the way Thomas responds? How did your first confession of Christ’s lordship sound?
What is the author’s purpose in writing this gospel (vv. 30-31; 21:24-25)?
Where could you use Jesus’ peace right now: In some relationship? In some inner fear? In your work?

What room in your place is the hardest to keep up? Which is the most relaxing?
