Love One Another

In this group how is God working?

Can we encourage others by sharing your story or the stories from others in your group?
Let us hear from you: pathwaychurch.com/share

BIG IDEA:
The Savior brings love to our lives so we must love one another.
TEACHING POINTS:

• To love one another we must experience God’s love.

• To love one another we must recognize that we are each God’s gift.

• To love one another we must do so intentionally.

SCRIPTURE: John 13:34-35 NIV; 1 John 4:7-11 NIV; John 3:1-20 NIV; Ephesians 2:1-10 NIV

Discussion Guide will be posted on Sunday at 3pm.

OPENING QUESTIONS:

  2. What is one thing that you are thankful this Christmas weekend?
  3. What is something that was stressful or difficult this week and how can we help?
IN THE WORD:
  1. Read John 3 NIV and then have someone retell the story. Do you think that Nicodemus experienced God’s love in this encounter with Jesus that night? Why or why not?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
