Check In – How is everyone doing (good things, teaching applied, lessons learned, prayers answered)?

Word

• What is one meal that you would say you love?
• Read 2 Peter 1:3-9
• How does the concept of “agape” (unconditional love) influence your perspective on love?
• Why do you think Peter saved love to be the last virtue needed for life and godliness?
• Pastor John suggested that there are three specific groups that we need to show the love of God to: The least of these (The Marginalized), The Most of these (Our Rivals) and The Worst of These (Our Enemies).  How can we love each of these groups?
• Pastor John also mentioned, that for some people the person that they must learn to love is themselves.  Why would this be important?
• What could be some obstacles to showing God’s love to people?
• How can we demonstrate the love of God in our daily lives?  What is one area you need to work on?
