Opening and closing the Kingdom of Heaven The free offer of the gospel The necessary word of warning
Exercise your sincere faith! Fan into flame the gift of God Share in suffering for the gospel Guard the good deposit entrusted to you
The resurrection of Christ The open tomb The angelic messenger The frightened women
Who should come to The Supper? Member and body Confession and conduct Open and closed
Despised and rejected by all The wickedness of the Jewish Council The weakness of the disciple Peter The wiliness of the Roman Governor Pilate
Live and let live What does the commandment prohibit? How does it speak into our culture? How does Jesus transform it?
The successful Shepherd and His failing sheep Jesus prophesies but the disciples lack faith Jesus suffers but the disciples are not vigilant Jesus is captured but the disciples abandon Him
The Last Supper A very special occasion A brutally broken fellowship A lasting memorial meal
