Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. Why is bread an appropriate metaphor for Jesus?
2. Are you satisfied? What are you looking to for satisfaction? Have you asked Jesus to satisfy you?
Questions for discussion:
1. Why do we need the bread of life?
2. What does Jesus’ ministry in Gentile territory reveal about God’s heart for the world? What are the implications of this for us as Jesus people?
