The Superlative Nature of Love, Part 1

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What was one thing that you found particularly encouraging, challenging, or helpful in this message?
  2. How would you define “love”?
  3. Read and discuss John 13:31-35. What does this tell us about love? Why is love presented as the superlative virtue in Scripture?
  4. Read and discuss Matthew 22:37-40, James 2:8, 1 Corinthians 13:7-8, 13, 1 Peter 4:8, and Proverbs 10:12. How do these verses deepen our understanding of love? What other verses can you think of that address love?
  5. How is love doctrinal? How is love attractional?
  6. In what ways does Jesus embody the full nature of love?
  7. Discuss Pastor Mike’s statement, “Whenever pride and anger lead the way, love has just left the room.” How have you observed or experienced this?
  8. In what ways have you personally experienced the transformational nature of love?
  9. Who in your life is difficult to love? What is one thing you can do to serve them this week?
