David and Michael walk through John 2:1-11 to help you lead meaningful discussions about the text.

Questions from the Conversation

Narrative Questions:

In narrative, we’re always asking these 3 simple questions to get to the big idea.

  • What happened? (summary & key points)
  • Why here? (how it fits in John’s Gospel)
  • What does the author want us to know/feel/do? 

Supplemental Questions:

  • What did Jesus mean when he said, “My hour has not yet come”?
  • What is significant about the wedding metaphor?
  • In what way does this sign glorify Jesus? What are we supposed to know about Jesus as a result of this sign?

Big Idea:

Jesus is all we need → Links to messianic provision of wine and implication of the sign. 

Application:

  • How do we know if we’re living in a way that we really believe Jesus is all we need? (Desperate/Dependent)
  • When was a time in the last month that you were desperate and dependent on Jesus?
  • What would it look like to be desperate and dependent on Jesus every day? What rhythms do you need in your life to consistently return to a posture of desperate dependence?
