The perfect HMO system

John 4: 46 – 54

Why is your favorite billboard you have ever seen your favorite billboard?

Why does John mention that Jesus was back in the town of Cana?

What is ironic about one of Herod’s officials going to Jesus for help?
How would you describe the attitude of this official who is asking for help for his son?
Why does Jesus respond so curtly to this man when he is first asked for help?
Why does Jesus heal this officials son immediately from a distance rather than going and visiting him?
How would you have felt if you were the official as Jesus sent you away?

What does the fact that the father further interrogates his employees about the timing of his child’s healing show us about the level of the guy’s faith?
Why do this official and his family not believe until they receive the evidence of a sign?\
What makes “signs” a unique category of miracles?
When are some seasons in your life that you demanded a sign from God before you would trust him?
What are some signs that God has given you that have helped to encourage your faith?
Why is relying on signs a bad idea in developing a life of faith?
How does a person learn to trust God without having to rely upon signs?
