Discussion Questions Advent Week 4
1. How would the world be different if Christ had not come to bring love? In what way do you feel the most loved? How does God love you that way?
2. In Gary Chapman’s book the five love languages he explains 5 different ways we can receive and give love. Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical touch and Gifts. What 2 love languages do you relate to? What are the love languages of your spouse or close friend?
3. Love requires intentional sacrificial giving. What is the greatest gift you have received? What is the best give you have given? How did you feel after you gave that gift?
4. Jesus did not come to condemn the world. Condemn is a legal term meaning to be found guilty. Jesus came to save the world. It’s through Christ that we are saved. What does it mean to you to be “in Christ?” Do you see yourself living for Christ or living in Christ? What is the difference?
5. Our response to the extravagant gift that God gave us is to worship and share that love. What are some practical ways we can share the love of God with people this season? Who do you know that needs God’s love right now? Pray together in your group for those people to experience that love in a new way this season.
