THAT'S IMPORTANT! Five Things Everyone Should Know: #2 Jesus' True Identity

The following questions are to be used as a study aid for the sermon preached by Pastor Tommy Dove at the Grace Place on Sunday, November 8, 2015.  To get the most from these questions, view the service by going to http://www.nashvillechurch.com and clicking on “Streaming.”  From there you can watch or listen to the service first.

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 participating a small group study, click on "Life Groups" at the top of www.nashvillechurch.com.

Fellowship:

Icebreaker:
Have you ever seen a celebrity?  Who?
Have you ever been mistaken for a celebrity?  Who?
Have you ever talked with someone and imagined what they looked like?
If you ever met them, did they look like you imagined?

Scripture:
Matthew 16:13-20

Lesson:
Do you ever think about what it would have been like to have known Jesus as a physical man?  Was He the best friend ever?  Did He give big, bear hugs?  Did He have large, brown eyes, soft, curly, dark hair and a warm laugh?  Could you sit and listen to Him forever?  Some day we will know the answer to these questions.  Until then, it is important that we know His true identity as God’s Son and share that Good News with others.

What was important thing number one from last week?
Reread from last week’s passage 1 John 4:15-16.
Read this week’s passage in Matthew 16:13-20.
Why did it matter who people thought Jesus was?
Why does it matter who we think Jesus is?
Who else in the Bible identified Jesus as God’s Son?
Read Matthew 14:33, John 1:49, John 11.27, Mark 15:39.
Why did Jesus tell the disciples not to say He was the Christ?
Why do we not tell people that Jesus is the Christ?
What did Jesus mean when He said He was building on Peter’s “rock?”
How does our faith in Jesus as God’s son build on that foundation?
