Do this in remembrance of Me

We’re dedicating the entire morning to communion. It’s the time we set aside to reflect on the greatest gift ever given…the sacrifice that Jesus made for each of us on the cross.

Key Scripture

1 Corinthians 11:27–29

Discussion Questions

Don’t be afraid to add to this list, skip questions that don’t work for your group, or branch off with additional questions as discussion unfolds. Conversation is key! This is the time to work through the application of scripture and have group members figure things out together.

1. Communion is something we take very seriously at Northwest. Why do we do so?
2. How were the stories of Cain & Able, Abraham & Isaac, and the Passover foreshadowing God’s ultimate sacrifice?
3. Read 1 Corinthians 11:27. Why is it important to approach communion with the right heart? What does it mean to be found “guilty of the body and blood of the Lord”?
4. Pastor Harrell commented on 1 Corinthians 11:28 and how communion requires us to examine ourselves. What is the Lord convicting you of as you repent of anything that’s not honoring or glorifying Him?
5. With your group, review 1 Corinthians 11:29. Pastor shared how he once had a conversation with someone who didn’t partake in communion because they felt unworthy. Have you ever felt unworthy? How does Christ’s sacrifice make us worthy? Describe how communion is an opportunity to restore our fellowship with Him.
