Lesson 7 of 11: The Sacraments

A Sacrament is a sacred act commanded by Jesus in which God’s Word is not only spoken but enacted through visible signs. In the sacraments, God uses ordinary items such as water, bread, and the cup to communicate grace, to remind us of God’s saving work in Christ, and to strengthen our faith.

DISCUSSION PROMPTS FOR MENTORS

These are only suggestions. The idea is to discuss the Sacraments.

• Is Communion a meaningful part of worship for you? How could it become more meaningful?

• How are the Sacraments the enacted word of God?

• Some traditions say that marriage and ordination are Sacraments. Why do you think we disagree?
