On Sunday, September 15, 2024 at Wildwood Community Church, I preached the sixth installment in the series “Finding a Place of Grace.” This message was based on John 13:31-35. Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion. You will also find sermon audio and video to listen to/watch, download or share.
Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- Read John 13:31-35
- Have you ever received or given any “final instructions” to a child, friend, teammate, employee, etc. before leaving for an extended period of time? Describe that moment.
- Jesus has DONE something for us that no one else could do … dying on the cross for our sins. Jesus died for our sins according to the Father’s plan. That is why His doing so brought glory to the Father (and to the Son). How does obedience to the Father’s plan (doing the Father’s work) in your own life glorify God? NOTE: Of course we cannot do what Jesus has done in dying on the cross to pay the penalty of other’s sins, but what HAS God called us to do in Scripture? How would obeying God’s plan for YOU lead to God being glorified?
- Jesus’ command is for us to love one another. This command was given new life by Jesus increasing both its extent and providing a new example. In what ways do we try to limit the EXTENT of God’s love (i.e. those we want to exclude from God’s love)?
- How did Jesus love His followers? How are you inspired to love as Jesus loved those around you, inspired by His example?
- Where are you intentionally placing yourself in community with others so that you might love them as Jesus loves you?
- What is one particular application you took away from this message?
