In this episode of Words & Ways we'll be looking at Jesus and Nicodemus.
Listen for yourself, with small groups, leadership teams, mentoring-discipling relationships and more.
Our hope is that the words and ways of Jesus transform your mind, fill your heart, and encourage your soul today and every day.

DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
Why might some people care more about following rules than following Jesus?
Why do you think Jesus often used imagery and metaphors when he taught? Why do you think he talked about being “born again” with Nicodemus?
What causes some people to misunderstand or not believe Jesus’ words and teaching?
Jesus said that just believing in him isn’t enough. After all, even demons believe in him. And some people will say “Lord, Lord” to him at the end of their life and he’ll reply, “I never knew you.” So what do you think Jesus meant when he said to Nicodemus, “Anyone who believes in me will never die but will have eternal life”?
How are belief, trust, and obedience connected?
Do you know someone, or have you, moved from disbelief to pre-belief to belief like Nicodemus did in his three different scenes?
Are there some things you believe but don’t follow or do? (For example, you might believe that certain foods aren’t healthy but eat them anyway, or you might believe that going to bed at a decent hour is good but stay up late anyway.)
