Greater Works

John: That You May Believe

Greater Works 

  • The Longing for God
  • Jesus Satisfies the Longing
  • In Jesus the Longing Produces Fruit 

 Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

  1. Read John 14:8-14. What does Philip desire in verse 8? What stories or verses in the Old Testament might help us understand his request?
  2. Considering the interaction so far in the upper room, why does Philip make this request?
  3. What does Jesus mean by saying, “whoever has seen me has seen the Father”? How does this apply to us?
  4. Why is it so important to believe that Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Jesus (v. 11)? How does good theology satisfy our longings for God?
  5. What are the greater works we can do? How does this promise stimulate prayer? Does Jesus limit what he will do for us? How? 

Memory Verse of the Week:

John 14:13-14 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. (ESV)
