What Jesus Did at His Last Meal Group Guide

March 2025

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Choose the questions for your group; no pressure to use all of them.

  • The Last Supper series is about an in-depth conversation Jesus has with his disciples over a meal on the night before he goes to the cross. To kick things off, who in history (other than Jesus) would you most like to have a meal with, and why?
  • Read John 13:1-8. What stands out to you about Jesus' actions in washing the disciples' feet?
  • Why do you think Peter resisted when Jesus tried to wash his feet, and how might we sometimes resist Jesus’ acts of service or grace in our own lives?
  • Read John 13:12-16. What example has Jesus set for us to follow?
  • What do people experience when you walk into a room, whether it’s at home, at work, or wherever? As you picture those different environments, what posture do you think you most often take there?
  • Read Matthew 11:29. Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart.” How does this truth about Jesus impact our understanding of God’s character?
  • How can we cultivate a posture of humility in our relationships—whether at home, work, or in our community?
  • Is there a relationship or action that comes to mind when you think about following Jesus’ example? What is a practical way to "wash someone’s feet" this week?
  • As a group, brainstorm ways you can serve others together as a group. For service project ideas, you can always look at our Do Good Locator: www.chaseoaks.org/dogood
  • Share praises and prayer requests and take turns praying for one another.

VERSE TO MEDITATE ON AND MEMORIZE THIS WEEK:

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. – John 13:14-15

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE (In-between meetings)

  • To solidify in our minds what Jesus did in John 13, consider picking someone and literally washing their feet.
  • Take a moment to reflect and share on this question: what area of your life do you feel Jesus inviting you to surrender to his grace and service?
  • Make plans to carry out your ideas in questions 9 and 10, above.
  • Pray for your group members and their requests during the week.
