Small Group Discussion
Read John 11:1-16

  1. What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?

  2. Explain how illness can be for the glory of God (John 11:4). What does that mean? How does that look?

  3. Read John 11:5-6 again. Why was “staying two days longer” actually an expression of Jesus' love?

  4. Though Thomas seemed to display some unbelief (John 11:16), explain what was commendable about his statement / attitude. What does this teach you, when your faith isn't where it needs to be?
