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 had to say an emotional good-bye to someone.
2. Read John 16:16-33 silently or aloud.
3. Imagine that you were one of Jesus’ disciples in this scene. What would you have been thinking or feeling? What questions would you have had for Jesus as he tells them he will be going away for a while?
4. How do you make sense of verse 23: “whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you”?
5. What do we learn about Jesus in this passage?
6. What does this passage say about what it means for believers to follow Jesus as king?
7. How does this passage encourage and/or challenge you?
PRAYER PROMPT
In verses 20-22, Jesus describes how our sorrow will be turned to joy. Think about someone you know who is experiencing sorrow now, and pray that God would step into their sorrow in such a way that it would be turned to joy.
