John 11:1-44 The Resurrection and the Life Summary: Jesus said once “I am the resurrection and the life.” He said this just before bringing back a man named Lazarus from the dead! Jesus truly is the one who has the power over life and death. Let’s listen today and see four great things about God today from John 11: Outline: 1. The mysterious purpose of God 2. The great salvation of God 3. The compassion of God the Son 4. The glory of God Verse: John 11:25 (ESV): Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live… Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. Why did Jesus wait until Lazarus died before responding to Mary and Martha’s call for him to come? How should this shape our view of how God might be at work in our desperate struggles? Does it often seem like God is not present or taking action in your life? 2. Jesus made a bold claim to be the “resurrection and the life,” and then asked Martha, “do you believe this?” What do you think this statement means? Have you believed that Jesus is the resurrection and the life? What would it mean for your life if you did? 3. What does this miracle show us about Jesus? Pray today that God would deepen and widen your love for Him, and renew your sense of wonder at his greatness today.

John 9:1-41 Who is Truly Blind? Summary: Can you imagine what it would be like to be born blind? It is hard to imagine having never seen a sunset, or the face of a loved one. Some live with blindness their whole life. Today let’s look at another miracle of Jesus where He heals a man who was blind from birth: Outline: 1. The reason for the miracle: so that the light of the world might be seen and savored 2. The result of the miracle: some see the glory of Jesus while others remain blind Verse: John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. When the disciples came upon this blind man in John 9, why do you think they asked if the man or his parents had sinned as a cause for he blindness? What does it reveal of their view of God? How does such a worldview manifest its self still today? 2. What are the various ways people reacted to this miracle? How do some still today have such varied reactions to Jesus? 3. How does this man’s responses to the religious leaders show us his heart and faith? 4. How can this miracle strengthen your faith and embolden your witness today?

John 6:1-15 The Bread of Life Summary: Jesus has the power to do mighty miracles. One of the most amazing miracles is when he fed 5000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus can do these things because he is God! Let’s think about the day Jesus miraculously and lovingly provided food for a huge crowd: Outline: 1. An overwhelming need 2. A failed test 3. A Savior who provides Verse: John 6:35 (ESV): Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. Questions for devotions and family worship: 1. On that day when Jesus was with the multitude, why do you think he tested Philip by asking him how they might feed the crowd? What was Jesus’ goal? 2. How do you struggle to believe God’s power and provision for your life? 3. After this miracle, Jesus cautioned people against following him only for his material provision (see John 6:25-28). How might your faith in Jesus be like this at times? 4. How is Jesus the “bread oif life?” How does his work reflect and complete Moses’ role with Israel? How can this miracle deepen your trust in Jesus today?
