[Sunday] Love Laid Down - Vanishing Grace
This is how we know what love is, that He laid down his life for us. This love is like a cool breeze on a hot day, good news when surrounded by the bad, and liberty to the oppressed.
Questions for this week.
When are times that you’ve been able to share good news with someone?
Read 1 John 3:11-18. Why did Cain kill his brother? How does a similar attitude prevent us from truly loving our neighbor?
What does Jesus do to enable us to simply love our neighbor?
What impact do you think Jesus' followers would have on the spiritually uncommitted people if we--pilgrims, activists, and artists, all united as a church community -- carried out John’s charge to “not love with words or speech, but in actions and in truth?"
Listen to the bells being rung, God’s promise of peace, hope, and salvation breaking into the world, even in the midst of suffering.
