Winter 2018- Meeting #6
OPENING THE DISCUSSION -Book Discussion: “Befriend” Scott Sauls -Chapter 3- “Befriend the ‘Other’ ” -Summary of chapter- “True success is not measured by skill sets, achievements, or religious morality, but by love. The power for loving comes from knowing that Jesus loved us, and entering into an experience of his love.” -What was your “ONE THING” from Chapter 3?
(One thing you learned or liked, were challenged by, questioned, disagreed with, stood out, etc.)
DIGGING DEEPER -Why are we prone to a narrow view of “us”? -Read: John 8:1-11- Why is the order of Jesus comments to the women caught in adultery so important? -Read: Romans 2:4- How does this inform our view of kindness? -Read: Psalm 63:1-8; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13- How can we love like Jesus? -How does the gospel affect our love for the “other”?
MAKING APPLICATIONS -Where is your greatest opportunity to expand your “us”?
-How does all of this stir the affections of your heart for Christ? -What is your take-a-way or truth to apply?
