Each week, as you take in the Bible, find some friends to talk it out. You can follow this simple guide to help. First, R.E.A.D. and P.R.A.Y. on your own. Then, meet with friends to share what you've learned.
R - Retell E - Examine A - Apply D - Discuss -- P - Praise R - Repent A - Ask Y - Yield
Sunday Message Text: 1 JOHN 4:7-12
Bible Plan Readings - Week 6
START IT.
Think of a song that sings about "love". What has culture told us what love is? Have you bee let down by love?
SHARE IT.
From Sunday's message (1 JOHN 4) or the Meet Jesus Bible Reading Plan, what impacted you the most? Was there a word, phrase, or Bible verse that impacted you? *What did you highlight?
From the readings, what have you learned about Jesus (God)? What kind of love has Jesus demonstrated and why does that matter today? How does this encourage you?
From the readings, what is your top 5 list of words describing love? Why those?
Love looks like a person AND an action in the readings, how does love show itself from the readings?
SHOW IT.
If love looks like serving others, how do you plan to show love this week? Who do you plan to serve? (Don't leave here without a name and an action)
What will you do to love those who don't know Jesus yet? What will your intentional love look like?
FINAL THOUGHT
Who do you look to as an example of "real love"...Jesus kind of love? (self-sacrifice) What's one thing you could try this week to serve someone like they do?
