John 3:1-21; 1 Peter 2:4-5; 4:10-11
  1. What would an encounter with Jesus Christ look like for you? If you were to come across him in your life, where would he meet you? What would you talk about?
  2. Where do you wish Jesus would show up in your life? Where would you like him to meet you?
  3. Have you experienced Jesus before? How has he been present to you? Can you share your story with someone else?
  4. The point of Sunday morning as we gather and worship, is for us to experience the presence of Christ. In what ways do you experience Jesus during church worship? What do you find distracting or bothersome from experiencing Jesus? Is there ways in which what you find bothersome might be an expression of Christ or an opportunity to meet Christ differently than you have?
  5. Off the Wall: Christians have had significant disagreement about how to worship, or how to portray Jesus in art. How has paintings or pictures helped you to encounter Jesus Christ? Is there a particular image that is meaningful to you? What images of Jesus do you find harder to look at, or uncomfortable in how Jesus is portrayed?
