Questions Jesus Asked
The Power of Jesus' Penetrating Questions
A 5-week topical series exploring pivotal questions Jesus asked that move us from surface faith to deep transformation and surrender.
Who Do You Say I Am?
Confession and identityMatthew 16:13-20Main PointJesus doesn't ask for doctrinal agreement — He asks for confession born from personal encounter. Who you say Jesus is determines everything.
Do You Want to Get Well?
Willing surrender to healingJohn 5:1-15Main PointJesus asks a question that seems obvious — of course the paralyzed man wants to be healed — yet it exposes our resistance to change and our attachment to familiar suffering.
Why Are You So Afraid?
Fear and faithMark 4:35-41Main PointThe disciples feared the storm more than they trusted Jesus' presence, missing the reality that their greatest security was sleeping in their boat.
Do You Love Me?
Restoration and recommitmentJohn 21:15-19Main PointAfter Peter's denial, Jesus doesn't list conditions for restoration — He asks a simple, penetrating question about love that moves Peter from shame to service.
What Do You Want Me to Do for You?
Desire and faithMark 10:46-52Main PointJesus asks Bartimaeus to name his deepest desire before He grants it, inviting him to claim his faith and revealing that God cares about our wholeness.
