~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~

As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum whose son was very sick. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die.

Jesus asked, “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?” The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.” Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son will live!” And the man believed what Jesus said and started home. While the man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well. He asked them when the boy had begun to get better, and they replied, “Yesterday afternoon at one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!” Then the father realized that that was the very time Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea. - John 4:46-54 (NLT)

So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. - John 8:36 (NLT)

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! - 1 John 3:1 (NLT)

My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins - and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. - 1 John 2:1-2

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  John 13:34 (NLT)

~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~

1. Have you ever missed seeing a sign (a road sign, a sign about what someone was like)?

2. Sometimes signs turn into “Works for me!” moments where you decide to take action on something or make a decision. What kind of “Works for me!” moments have you had?

3. In the story of Jesus healing the government official’s son, it might have been a long moment between when the official saw his servants coming and when they told him the news (maybe the official was thinking “They’re either going to tell me something really good or really bad.). What kind of long moments like that have you had in your life? What happened?

4. What “sign” are you looking for? Are you looking for some kind of sign before you believe in Jesus? Or if you already believe in Jesus, then it’s still the same question: What “sign” are you looking for in your life? 

5. If you see that sign, are you willing to say “Works for me!” and take action on what you’ve seen? What would it look like for you to take action on what you’ve seen? (If it works for you, then what do you do?)

6. What do you think this miracle or “sign” of Jesus healing the government official’s son reveals about who Jesus is and what he’s like?
