1. What does it say?

2. What does it mean?

3. How do I apply it to my daily life?

Scripture: John 12:12-50

Title: The Gospel

BIG IDEA: As long as we come to God on our own terms, we will never be saved. Salvation comes to those who come to Him on His terms. His terms demand that we surrender by grace through faith.

READ: John 12:12-13 and Matthew 21:8-11

What is going on in these verses and how can you relate?

READ: John 12:14-16

2. In John 12:16, we see the disciples “did not understand” what Jesus was doing, but that they would understand later. What questions did you have when you first believed and how has God answered those questions? What questions do you have right now?

READ: John 12:17-26

3. How are you following Jesus and learning from Him right now?

4. What is Jesus saying through his analogy of a grain of wheat? What do you need to let go of, or die to, in order to “bear much fruit”?

READ: John 12:27-50

5. Consider how the truth of God’s Word can open some people’s eyes, while blinding others. How can the same truth lead to two different responses?

6. How are you seeking life in Jesus and living for him? Where are you seeking life in this world?

Challenge:

-Get to know WHO JESUS IS

-Follow Jesus for WHO HE IS, not to GET WHAT YOU WANT.

CHALLANGE:

This week when you pray, start by telling God how great He is. Use the following:

• Adoration – Tell God all of the things you adore about Him; worship, praise and honor of God.

• Confession – Tell God all of the sin in your life.

• Thanksgiving – Tell God what you are thankful for in your life.

• Supplication – Pray for the needs of others and yourself.

Constant Reminder

Judas was a consumer not a worshiper… Mary was a worshiper.

Consumer: its all about me Worshiper: its all about Jesus

Consumer: rolls up and says I hope this church meets all my needs. A Worshiper pulls up and says I hope this church points me to THE ONE WHO HAS MET ALL MY NEEDS.

Consumer: comes in and says this music better be good. A worshiper says I hope the Worship Leader points me to THE GOOD GOOD FATHER.

A consumer says I want to be entertained by todays sermon… A worshiper says I want some Cross centered preaching that makes a difference.

A consumer says it better be fun for my kids. A worshiper says this better equip me to disciple my family.

A consumer says this better make me sit and feel comfortable… A worshiper says this better SEND ME OUT!

Six questions for gospel-centered discernment. Memorize and ask these six questions to discern and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life.

G - God's glory: Will this decision primarily be about my glory or God's glory?

O - Other Christians: What do other gospel-saturated, Christ-centered, wise friends say about this upcoming decision?

S - Scripture: Does the Bible command, permit, or prohibit this decision? What does inerrant, infallible Scripture say?

P - Prayer: Have you abided with, rested in, asked from, listened to and waited on God in this decision over time?

E - Evangelism: Will this decision give me the opportunity to share the gospel and invite people to faith in Jesus?

L - Lifestyle: Will this decision lead me to live a lifestyle of love marked by the Fruit of the Spirit and holiness?
