There are lots of opportunities to pray together and we would like to invite you to be a part of any that you can participate in.

1. Pre-Service Prayer: We will pray BEFORE service in the Parent Room at 9 am. This prayer time is to connect in prayer together for the upcoming service, the Body of Christ, and Global Issues.

2. After-Service Prayer: Both male & female prayer leaders will be available in the front right corner of the STAGE following each service to pray with those in need of prayer.

3. Each week we take a few minutes to pray for the missionaries we support during service, but we hope that you will take some time out of your week to pray for them before and after service as well.

This week's mission's prayer is for Ron and Duanne Risse with Help Ministries.

Title: The Only Way

Scripture: John 14:4-14

Icebreaker: What does community mean to you?

Summary: Jesus reassures His disciples about their future, emphasizing that He is the way to the Father and the means to access God's truth and life. He urges them to trust in Him and His works, promising that they will do even greater things in His name.

Questions:

1. Why do you think Thomas asked, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” What does this reveal about his understanding at that point?

2. Jesus responds by saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” What do these three statements mean to you personally? How do you understand Jesus as the way?

3. Philip asks, “Lord, show us the Father.” Why do you think Philip still struggles to grasp this? What do you think it means to "see" the Father through Jesus?

4. How do you personally respond to the call to believe in Jesus based on what He has done?

5. Considering this passage, how does your view of Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life impact how you live out your faith today?
