1. Last Words

2. Love

3. "As I Have Loved You"

4. Peter's Betrayal

5. Everyone Will Know

Growth Group Discussion & Personal Reflection Questions:

1. In this weekend's scripture, what does Jesus mean when using the words "glory" and "glorified?" How might this redefine our understanding of glory compared to how the world sees it? If so, how?

2. Reflecting on verse 34, in what way is this a new commandment?

3. When Jesus instructs his disciples to love one another "as I have loved you," he's referring to the footwashing. Practically, how can you love others in the way Jesus instructs?

4. In what ways does Jesus' prediction of Peter's betrayal change when you pair it with Jesus' instruction to love one another?

5. Why is it important that Christians love one another as Jesus loved his disciples?
