I’ve been kindof racking my brain lately about what we’re gonna “do” in our small group. I mean… what is the point, right? Yes, i’m pumped about getting to know everyone, but what is THE point?
I think Jesus probably has the best answer. In Matthew ch. 22 and John 13:35 he basically says, “this is what its all about – LOVE GOD…. then love each other… that is how you will make me known to the world” (Adam’s special translation from the Greek).
I wonder if the “Love God” part is necessary for the “love others” part. I think so…
As you ponder about how much you love your spouse on Valentine’s Day, I challenge you to think about where you are at with the “Love God” part. Are you continually growing in your love for God? Are you in a period where you don’t really feel much love at all? These are some questions that I think we need to begin to think about as we begin our small group. Any thoughts?
