John Week 3 Guide

​

1. In this passage, Jesus calls ordinary, even overlooked people (Andrew, Peter, Philip, Nathanael). What stands out to you about who Jesus chooses and how He calls them?

​

2. How does this challenge the way we typically think about who God uses?

​

3. When Jesus says, “Come and you will see” (v.39), what does that reveal about how people begin a relationship with Him?

​

4. What does it look like in real life to “come and see” instead of needing everything figured out first?

​

5. Andrew immediately brings Peter to Jesus (v.41), and Philip brings Nathanael (v.45). Why do you think this happens so naturally?

​

6. Looking at cross references like John 6:8, John 12:22, and Matthew 5:13–16, what pattern do you see in the life of a disciple?

​

7. Who is someone in your life you could intentionally bring closer to Jesus right now?

​

8. Nathanael responds with skepticism: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” (v.46). How does Philip respond, and why is that important?

​

9. How should we respond when people have doubts or objections about Jesus?
 

10. How does it impact you personally to know that Jesus fully knows you—and still calls you?

​

11. After encountering Jesus, people in this passage take action (they follow, they invite, they confess belief). What changes do you see happening?

​

12. Jesus renames Simon to Peter (v.42). What does this suggest about how Jesus sees people versus how they see themselves?

​

13. Where might Jesus be calling you into a new identity or purpose?

​

14. In this passage, everyone has a response to Jesus (follow, question, invite, believe). What is your current response to Him?

​

15. What would it look like for you to take one step deeper in following Jesus this week?
