SERMON GUIDE
"Love Isn’t What You Thought"
Big Idea: A heart changed by Jesus shows love like Jesus.
John 13:33-36
Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?” And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.”
Loving Like Jesus Looks Like...
1. Compassion (Luke 7:11-14)
2. Forgiveness (Luke 6:27-29, Luke 23:34, Ephesians 4:32)
3. Sacrifice (John 3:16, Ephesians 5:25, 1 John 3:16)
Discussion Questions
1. When you think about this love of compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice, what person in your life do you think of (besides Jesus)?
2. Talk about a time you experienced the Holy Spirit helping you love someone like Jesus.
3. Which of the 3 qualities of love do you struggle with the most?
4. What is God asking you to do for another person that you make excuses for? How can your group be praying for you in this?
