Week 51 <\/strong><\/span> Discussion Notes:1<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Some churches and denominations have historically celebrated “the Lords Supper” or “Agape Meal” as a related, but separate event from the Eucharist. Do you find any compelling Biblical reason for this practice? (Day 351)<\/li>\n
  2. In Chapter 15, Kempis further recommends the importance of devotion to Christ. What are are some Biblical examples of devotion? How does your personal devotion to God compare? (Day 353 & 355)<\/li>\n
  3. Some communion “bread” bears little resemblance to what we usually think of as “bread.” What type of bread is appropriate for the Eucharist? Does the Bible give us any direction? (Day 356)<\/li>\n
  4. People have argued for centuries about the origins of our Christmas holiday and it’s customs. It\u2019s been said that Christians ought not be faulted so much for stealing the pagans\u2019 holiday, as for letting the pagans steal their holiday back. In fact, atheists and pop culture have managed to create a “winter holiday,” formerly known as Christmas, that is completely independent of any real reference to the birth of Jesus Christ. (Day 359)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
