I Am the Bread of Life | What Jesus Actually Meant

Welcome to the Weekend-Follow Up!

This is content that reflects on the Weekend message and how it can apply to your life. Each week, your group will discover what God might be saying to you, and how you can respond through a group discussion.

1. If there was a tree that grew any type of food in the world, what would you want it to be? (Example: Pizza tree, taco tree, Skyline tree, etc.)

2. What stood out to you most from the message?

3. In John 8:48 Jesus calls himself the Bread of Life. This bread is for anybody who feels tired, hungry, or worn out. How have you experienced any of those things this week?

4. What scars do you carry with you? (They can be literal or figurative.) What do they say about you?

5. Jesus was beaten and scarred as he went to the cross. What’s your response when you hear that Jesus was wounded to rescue and provide for us?

6. What would it look like for Jesus to be your daily bread—not just weekly or monthly?

7. Read John 6:35. What is something that you deeply hunger for? Take a moment in your group to tell Jesus whatever it is and ask him to provide.

8. What’s one thing you can do this week to rely on Jesus’ daily provision instead of your own?

9. Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like;

   “Jesus, thank you for enduring what it took to go to the cross and defeat death. Help us to trust in you each day. Guide us to see and understand that you provide and satisfy all that we need. In the identity and character of your name we pray, amen.”
