    Q1: What do you learn from Jesus’ prayer for Peter? Why do you think he singles Peter out? What does he instruct Peter to do? Why? (Luke 22:31-34)
     
    Q2: Examine Jesus’ “high priestly prayer” in John 17. What are Jesus’ greatest concerns for his disciples and his followers? What is on his mind just hours before he gets arrested?
     
    Q3: What is greatness? What is greatness according to the world’s kings? What is greatness according to God’s kingdom? How should we measure and value true greatness? (22:24-30)
     
    Q4: In what ways, can we grow to value and promote true greatness in God’s kingdom within our church community?
     
    Q5: What does a good leader look like according to Jesus? Is this the kind of leaders we elevate in the church? Is this the kind of leaders we look up too? Why or why not?

    FEBRUARY 21, 2021 / LUKE 22:1-23

    SPEAKER: PASTOR JORDAN MOODY

    Q1: Why do you think God has used the activity of sharing a meal to communicate his new covenant? What is God telling us about a meal like the Lord’s Supper and our relationship with God?
     
    Q2: Discuss the points (A-G) under the “Meaning of the Lord’s Supper.” Which one resonates with you the most and why?
     
    Q3: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances/sacraments of the church, both of which have been debated for centuries. Describe the differing views of the Lord’s Supper and how you have come to interpret the elements of the table.

    “The Dress Rehearsal”
    Q1: What is your one takeaway from the sermon on Luke 21?
     
    Q2: Why would Jesus' words in Luke 21:6 be so shocking to Jews in the first century?
     
    Q3: How is Luke 21:9 actually encouraging to those who follow Jesus?
    What did it mean for those in the 1st century and what can we learn from this passage for us today?
     
    Q4: Luke 21:9 says they will be "put to death" but then in verse 18 it says, "not a hair of their head will
    perish." So what is Jesus talking about and what does he mean by this?
     
    Q5:  How can we read Luke 21 and actually stay calm and look up instead of fret and worry about these
    apocalyptic passages, talk of the "End Times" and the current state of our own nation?
     
    Q6: Nations rise and fall but what really will remain and last in the end? See 1 Corinthians 13:13 and how does this passage 
    inform our lifestyle today?
