Encountering Jesus as He Really Is

Passage: John 14:1-9

Preacher: Dr. Steve Brown

Series: This Is My FBC

Detail:

 

FBC exists to embrace Great Commandment love which fuels Great Commission Living.

We must keep first things first at First!

Reflect on your own “hindered” concept of Jesus. How do you sometimes see Him?

I may sometimes see Jesus as _________________ (inspecting, distant, detached, disappointed, disapproving, or other specific descriptors of your choice) because I often imagine Him . . .

My view of Jesus as _______________________________ could influence how I relate to Him by . . . (For example: My view of Jesus as distant could undermine my trust of Him.)

My view of Jesus as ____________ could influence the way I relate to others by . . .(For example: My view of Jesus as an inspecting god could influence the way I relate to others by causing me to sometimes be overly critical and harsh.)
