October 4, 2020 Sermon Discussion Questions

Get to know me:

Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to generate responses that are self-revealing and informative. Feel free to ask all of these questions to your group or simply choose the one that best fits your group.

1. What we “love” says alot about us as individuals. What do you think the people in your life would say you love most?

2. What, if anything, are you working on regarding the way you Love those around you? 

Into the Bible: Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to draw group members into the Bible to discover truth from passages that were not the primary text for the weekend message.

Read 1 Peter 4: 8-11

1. All truly good relationships are both “give & take”. How have you seen members of LifePoint give love, & how have you seen members receive love? 

2. What does this passage mean when Peter says that, “Love covers over a multitude of sins”? 

3. Share a time when you were shown Grace or received Love that was needed but could not be paid for or earned? 

Application:

Instructions: The purpose of these questions is to apply the main points from the weekend message.

1. How does Sacrificing in Love show who we are to those that are outside the Christian Community?

2. Why did Jesus teach that sharing in Love within the Christian Community was not just desired, but a requirement?

3. How does the way we share & receive Love within our Church, “Verify” that we are true or false in our faith?
