Loving To The End… Learning Along The Way
June 5, 2022
Key Scriptures
Key Points
- John was amazed that Jesus loved them to the end.
- Jesus models love by washing their feet, then commands them to love one another as He has loved them.
- Jesus models right actions flowing out of right thinking. (John 13:3)
- If we don’t know who we are (identity), where we are heading (destiny), and what we are about (purpose/mission), we will falter in teaching our kids who they are.
- There is still a snake in the garden; if he can’t take you out, he will attempt to render you ineffective. He is at work in culture, influencing our kids with his lies.
- We must teach our kids after learning ourselves:
- You are uniquely made in your mother’s womb, a special creation of God.
- You are made in the image of God to reflect His likeness.
- God created them male and female to reflect His character. Our genders are to be celebrated rather than attempting to change them.
- Sin entered the picture with confusion and pain. Many are confused about God’s design, but you don’t have to be.
- As a Christ follower, He gives you a new life and clears the confusion by renewing your mind with His truth.
Discussion Questions
- Have you come to terms with Jesus’s love for you even through your mess?
- Is there something you have said like Peter to Jesus: “never will you…”?
- How do Jesus’s words affect you: “you have no part with me unless…”?
- Does His love really motivate the way you live? Do you love Him with a willingness to obey Him?
- Do you have a “biblical world view” being trained by the Word versus the culture? How is the Word of God renewing your thinking and leading in right living?
