John 12.20-33

Becoming the good news - Week 5 of 6

Six weeks in which we observe Jesus taking up the mission of the Old Testament writers. This will help us think about how we can enter the stories of Jesus and become good news ourselves. An article that provides an overview of the theme can be found here.

Growing and changing

A seed must be planted to grow into something great. Today we think about our calling and what helps us to grow as Christians.

This week’s reading, John 12.20-33 provides an opportunity to:

  • think about the ‘grain of wheat’ metaphor (AAA & CYP)
  • reflect on how being flexible enables us to grow and develop (AAA & CYP)
  • consider how being called might be unsettling. (AAA)
