Life group questions & notes

Let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7-12

Questions for Life Groups

1. Read 1 John 4:7-12 and the article in this week’s Circuit Rider titled Love. How about the next time a catastrophe hits your news feed, refuse the rush to motive and explanation, and turn to prayer and presence instead.
2. Where might you practice Incarnational accountability? This could be as easy as asking, “Have we encountered the people involved—or only the narrative about them?” before sharing, reposting, or repeating a story.
3. Remember to choose presence over abstraction by sitting down, staying in the room, and not disappearing, even when it would be safer to do so.
4. How can your group members help you be more receptive to hearing and understanding the Word of God this week? Pray for one another to be blessed by the Holy Spirit with greater courage.
