John 13:36-38
36 Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?” And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.” 37 “But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m ready to die for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Die for me? I tell you the truth, Peter—before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.
John 21:15-17
15 After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. 16 Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. 17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

THE HOLY COMMUNION
RESPONSE TO GOD’S GRACE (OFFERING)
Pastor: God says, “I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know Me more than I want burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6).
All: God, we give what we have decided in our hearts to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for You love a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).
