CHAT-A-BOX Pt 3. RelationshipsSample

CONVERSATION STARTERS Q1) How would you describe what love is? Q2) Who is someone you love and why? What does the Bible say about love? * God loves you. Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (1 John 4:7-10) * Love results in action. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) Discussion Questions 1. What are some things God has done to show he loves you? 2. What are some characteristics of love from these verses that you find surprising? 3.
