Title: Jesus the Bread of Life

1. What feeds your life? What do you need to get through life? Why are these things important?

2. Read John 6:1-15. Do you believe someone can feed upwards of 5,000 people with five barley loaves and two fish? Why or why not? This story claims that Jesus blessed the food and it fed that many people and there was food left over. What does that say about Jesus? Is this easy to believe?  Why or why not? If this story is true -what does this say about the character of God in Jesus?

3. Read John 6: 25-40. The disciples want to be fed with bread too, but Jesus offers another type of bread. What type of bread is Jesus offering? What does it take to get this bread that Jesus is offering? 

4. Why would you want, or need Jesus to fill you up? How can Jesus feed your life? How would you go about this? What stops you from approaching Jesus? 

5. What does it mean for Jesus to be the Bread of Life? Why do you think He uses that analogy? How are you making space for Jesus this week so that he can feed into you?

6. What would your life be like if you found Meaning, Life, Relationship, Community, Purpose in Jesus versus the world?
