Taking it further to help you THRIVE…

1. Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, was there anything that particularly caught your attention, challenged, or confused you?

2. Reflecting back over the past few studies, how did the resurrection change Mary? How did it change the other disciples? How did it change Thomas? How has it changed you?

3. What does it mean to live in the power of the Holy Spirit? What do you think life would look like if we lived with greater dependence on the Holy Spirit? In what area(s) do you need to live ‘less of you’ and more in His power?

4. In John’s gospel, there has been much emphasis on seeing and believing (eyewitness evidence being presented.) But how do Jesus’ words in verse 29 (coupled with John’s words in verses 30-31) indicate a change in the way we relate to Jesus? How are we to live now that we cannot see Jesus personally/physically? (Explain.)

5. Jesus lovingly and graciously met Thomas in the midst of his doubt, and we see a tremendous change of heart and mind in him. What doubt(s) remain in your life that might be keeping you from faith in Christ / growth in Christ?
