Is Anyone Thirsty

Is Anyone Thirsty?


BIBLE DISCUSSION

1. Read John 7:37-53. Take time to discuss the context of this passage.

a. The last and great day of the Feast of Tabernacles

b. The pouring out of water as an offering

c. Reading of Psalm 118


2. Jesus’ interruption of the closing ceremony was a call to not go back to life as normal, rather to drink of Him. How is Jesus interrupting your ordinary life with His supernatural rivers of life?


3. Jesus’ cry of compassion to those who are thirsty still can be heard today? How does Jesus show compassion for your thirst? How can you come to Him and drink?


4. “Anyone thirsts” is a call to all, whosoever will, to come and drink freely. Who do you know that needs to drink from living water? How might you be the voice of Jesus’ compassion to them?


5. How can we all learn to drink from the rock of Christ?


6. Jesus’ heavenly ministry is our intercessor and baptizer in the Holy Spirit. How does this passage demonstrate His ongoing heavenly ministry towards you?

MINISTRY & P RAYER TIME Based on the discussion today, what areas do you need support and prayer for? What other prayer needs do you have? Take time to pray for one another.
