This morning's message will explore the major theme of The Story, Chapter 24 which is titled "No Ordinary Man". That "No Ordinary Man" is of course Jesus and the editors of the Story have sought to assemble parts of the gospel accounts that challenge us to answer Jesus' question, posed at Caesarea Philippi: "Who do people say that I am?". There are answers proposed by people throughout time in response to this question. In fact, it still is as relevant a question today as it was in Northern Israel over two thousand years ago. As we wrestle with this question with a commitment to intellectual and spiritual honesty, today's message will be particularly helpful to people who don't know how to answer Jesus' timeless question: "Who do you say that I am"? I hope the following questions will be helpful to you this week as you discuss, process, and journal about the Story, Chapter 24:

1. Pastor Rob titled his message "The Christ Identity". Throughout different stages in your life and faith journey, what responses have you given to Jesus' identity question: Who do you say that I am?

2. "...the couple married for fifty years says 'I discover something new about my spouse every day'". What have you discovered about God, Jesus, and/or the Holy Spirit in the last year? The last month? The last week?

3. When we discover Christ's identity, we feel a peace surround us. What part of your life feels unpeaceful right now? How might you invite Jesus into that place?
