"A Place in God's Story" -John 21

Speaker: Steve Lee

​Jesus lovingly restored Peter after what must have felt like a disqualifying failure, revealing the depth of his mercy to welcome even the most broken people into his story.

Discussion Questions: 

1. Can you think of a time when you were publicly embarrassed?
2. What do you think Peter was feeling as he approached the charcoal fire with Jesus?
3. Why was it important that Peter’s restoration happened publicly in front of the other disciples?
4. What do you notice in the specific way that Jesus restored Peter? How does Jesus’ restoration of Peter challenge the way you think about your own past mistakes?
5. How can ICC become a place where people feel safe to be fully known and fully restored?
6. Is there an area of your life where you need to receive God’s restoration?
7. Describe the personalities of both Peter and John. Which one do you relate to more? How can we grow in accepting one another’s differences?
8. In what ways are you tempted to compare your story with someone else’s, like Peter did with John? What do we learn from Jesus’ response to Peter?
