Small Group Discussion
WHOLE GROUP
Read John 21:15-23
1 - Though we know we are forgiven in Christ (those who have received Him!), we do we still struggle with guilt from time to time?
2 - Discuss the usage of the words for “love” in the exchange between Jesus and Peter (John 21:15-17). What is the significance? What kind of love does Jesus call us to? What does that look like?
3 - How do we often compare ourselves to other Christians / churches? Why do we do this? How does Jesus’ statement to Peter (John 21:22) address our desire to compare ourselves with others?
