Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.
1. Share a time when you felt lonely or rejected.
2. Read John 15:18-27 silently or aloud.
3. In some ways, following our king makes our lives harder and at times lonelier. What makes following him worth it?
4. What do we learn about Jesus in this passage?
5. What does this passage say about what it means for believers to follow Jesus as king?
6. How does this passage encourage and/or challenge you?
PRAYER PROMPT
Spend time thanking God for his presence in your lives and the indwelling of his Spirit. Pray for your Spirit-enabled witness to the world. May others see Jesus in the lives of your group members.

> We are never alone
> How do we embrace a faithful presence?
