These questions can be used in your private Bible study during the week or as the topic for a small group study. For more information on hosting or leading a small group study, click on "GP Small Groups" under "GP Ministries" at www.graceplace.us.

Fellowship: (Break bread with your community, share life from last week, announcements for next week)

Icebreaker: (Get to know your fellow believers a little bit better using this week’s topic)

Who do people say you look like?

Have you ever known someone with your same name?

How can you prove your identity?

Scripture: (Read the word together – use different readers, different versions, just read it)

Psalm 191-4; Romans 1:18-20; Luke 19:40; Matthew 16:15-16

Lesson: (Delve deeper into the Word and into the sermon using open-ended questions)

In our modern society, being able to prove our identity is critical.  Our finances, our relationships and our reputation are built on us being who we say we are.  In proving a case for Christianity, Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say I am?”

How does creation prove the case for Jesus?

What do you think about C.S. Lewis’ position that Jesus was either a lunatic or the Son of God?

Why are people confused about who Jesus is?

Why does it matter what people think of Jesus?

How can we tell people learn about Jesus?

Who do you tell people Jesus is?

Who is Jesus to you?

Prayer: (Share each other’s burdens, become a community of believers)
