Sermon

Faith, Hope, and Love – Part 5

May 3, 2020 Mike MinterSermons1 Corinthians, 1 Peter, John

Nothing keeps us quarantined from one another as much as shame. Nothing heals faster than a safe environment. Jesus demonstrates to the church how to love and how to be a safe haven.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing about this message that you found particularly compelling, encouraging, challenging, or beneficial?
  2. What is shame? How do you tend to experience shame?
  3. Read and discuss John 13:34 and 1 Peter 1:22, 4:8. What does this tell us about love and loving others?
  4. We are to love other believers, our neighbors and our enemies. How is failing to love fellow Christ-followers ultimately failing to love neighbors and enemies?
  5. How is connectedness the bloodstream of Christian life? How have you experienced this?
  6. What kind of people did Jesus attract? What kind of people does the church attract today?
  7. In what ways have you personally experienced the church as a safe haven? In what ways has this been a struggle for you?
  8. Read and discuss John 8:1-11. How does Jesus balance love and judgement? What do learn from this account about loving others well?
  9. Are there ways in which you have”quarantined” yourself from the body of Christ? Why? How do you need to trust God and grow in this area?
  10. Who do you need to be a safe environment for? Spend some time in prayer for the things you’ve discussed.
