Discussion
What stands out to you from these passages? How do these passages most challenge or encourage you?
What stands out to you in Jesus’ repeated question to Peter: “Do you love me?” Why do you think He asked it three times?
How do you interpret Jesus' words to Peter in verse 22: “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!”?
How does the theme of restoration in this passage challenge the way our culture often deals with failure or public mistakes? How about in the church?
Where in your life have you experienced restoration or a second chance? How does Peter’s story encourage you?
What does it look like to “feed Jesus’ sheep” in your own context (family, workplace, church, etc)?
Are there areas where you have been encouraged this week to take the “next step” in following Jesus, that you would like to share with the group?
How do you want to respond to these passages in your daily life?
