Love Out Loud

9 10 2008

If there is one thing that the world could use more of, it’s love for each other.  It’s a shame that there is so much violence and hatred in the world today.  As believers, we are commanded to love one another.

Today’s Verses:
1 John 3:11-18

Last night during youth, we discussed the greatest love that has ever been displayed through the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross.  His love was unconditional.  He offered love and forgiveness to those that crucified Him.  If you and I are going to make a difference in the world, we must learn to love like Jesus did.  John says that we know we are true Christians if we have the love of Christ in us and offer that love to those around us.  It’s easy to say that we love everyone, but we are called to love with action, not with words.  You might call this, “Love Out Loud!”.

Discussion Questions:
1.  Is there anyone that you hate?  What does God’s Word say about that?

2.  How can you love someone that has hurt you so bad?

3.  Do you know someone in need?  How can you be a blessing to them and show them the love of Christ?

4.  What makes it so difficult to love everyone?
