Talking Jesus
Session One
READ
“Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?””

Film 1 - The Choir
1. Does this remind you of any situation you've been in?
2. Have you ever been invited to something, to church or an event? How did you find that? What can you take from that experience?
3. Can you think of a time when you invited someone to an event? Did you find that easy or hard? What event was it?
4. How do you feel about inviting people to your church? Be honest. Do you love inviting or really don't imagine you ever will?

DISCUSS
Teaching 1 - Everyone Talking Jesus
1. Have any of your views changed by watching this session?
2. Were you surprised that 45% of the population believes in the resurrection? How about the fact that 33% of non-Christians think Jesus is a prophet? Do any of your friends and family think this? How could you and out what your friends and family think about Jesus?
3. And what about the fact that 53% of non-Christians already know one of us and that they like us! Look at the statistics to see the descriptions that they had to choose from. Does this surprise you?
