Continue the Conversation

To help you apply the sermon here are some questions to talk over with your friends and family.

1. In the sermon pastor talked about our search for God being like a game of hide-and-seek. What was your favorite game as a kid?

2. What are some ways you think people search for God apart from Jesus? How have you done it?

3. How does it make you feel knowing that your efforts to know God don't get you closer to Him, that He must come to you?

4. What comfort is there in knowing Jesus in the Sacrament for you every Sunday?
