Continue the Conversation

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

1. In our reading from the Gospel this week, Peter demonstrates his propensity to put his foot in his mouth. Share a time when you found yourself "removing the shoe." How does Peter's example give you hope in a gracious God?

2. When did you start taking communion? Do you remember your first communion? Share why the sacrament matters to you.

3. Do you typically think of the sacrament in terms of glory or the cross? What is the danger of a "glory" understanding?

4. How does viewing Communion as a communal rather than individual event deepen your understanding of the Lord's Supper?
