1 John 4:7-12 NIV
Love is sacrifice
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

Third Dialogue Question:
What is the difference between a call to love people and avoiding hating people?

How have you been given the opportunity to love as opposed to just not hate in 2020?
Take It Deeper Questions:
Read 1 John 4:7-12.
Share your “first love” story.
If the absence of love leads to indifference, how is indifference similar and/or different to hate?
How does God love?
