After You Believe

Building Christian Character, Integrity, and Virtues

Love
January 30, 2013 Announcements/Opening Prayer Discussion How does the media portray love? What impact do you think that has on mainstream American culture? Think of TV shows like The Dating Game, Love Boat, Friends and Cougar Town How would you describe Love? How does that description change w.r.t. I John 3:11-20? 1. 2. 3. 4. What sort of actions and attitudes are contrary to love? Thinking of Cain, how does jealousy effect love? Whats the impact on families? Why would the world (or anyone) hate Christians who show love? What does it mean to lay down their lives? What examples have you seen firsthand either literally or metaphorically? We have progressed from Faith, to Hope and now to Love. Its an interesting progression from inward to upward to outward. Why is loving with actions (vv 1718) more important than loving with words? How does James 2:14-19 play in? How do acts of love help strengthen our relationship with God? Examples? Whose actions have helped you understand the love of Christ? How can you show someone love through your actions this week?
