Discussion Questions

  • What are some expectations we Christians today often place on Jesus (how He should act, answer prayer, lead our church, shape our culture)?
  • Which of your own expectations might Jesus be gently challenging right now, and what would it look like to stay open to His correction?
  • When you think about Jesus’ authority—His right to confront your habits, priorities, or beliefs—where do you feel drawn and where do you feel resistance?
  • What might it look like, very practically, to respond more like the officers and Nicodemus (listening, wrestling, obeying) rather than like the Pharisees this week?
  • How does recognizing Jesus as the source of the Spirit change the way you approach your faith, worship, or everyday decisions?
  • Who around you might need to hear this invitation to “come and drink,” and how could you reflect His living water to them?
