Dig Deeper:
1. Our values reveal why we do what we do. If you were to ask someone close to you what they think you value, what do you think they would say?
2. Our values shape us. Describe a way in which one of your values has shaped you.
3. Read Matthew 22:35-40. What does it look like to love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength?
4. At The Bridge Church, we love all people. People matter to God, so they matter to us. How is the idea of loving others so different than what our culture shows us?
5. Read John 3:16. God loves us so much he sent his only son, Jesus, to die for our sins. While it’s always easy for God to love us, it’s always been a challenge for people to love one another. Why is it such a challenge?
6. What does it look like to love ALL people? How do you show others love?
7. Share a time when you have felt loved by someone else. What did they do to make you feel loved?
8. What can we do, as a church family, to show love to others both on Sunday mornings and throughout the week? What can you do personally to grow in your love for others?
9. At The Bridge Church, we believe God’s Word. Because we believe God’s Word, we teach for life change. Have you ever witnessed someone’s life impacted greatly because of their time spent in His Word? Describe that scenario. Why is important for all of us to be transformed by the Bible?
10. Read Acts 2:42. What does it mean to be devoted to something?
11. Why does application, not just information, make a difference when reading and studying the Bible? How does it impact not just us, but others?
12. Is it possible to grow in Christ without studying and reading His Word on a consistent basis?
13. Read 2 Timothy 3:16. Knowing that the Bible is our authority and truth, how can it be used in times of uncertainty or doubt?
14. Read 2 Timothy 3:17. What does reading the Bible produce in us?
15. How often do you spend time in God’s Word? What tools do you use to apply the scriptures to transform your life?
16. Read James 1:22 How is this way of living different from yours? How is it the same?
17. At The Bridge Church, we build healthy families. We do this by partnering and equipping families. Why do you think marriages and families are one of Satan’s main targets?
18. Read Matthew 19:13-15. What does this passage reveal about Jesus’s heart for children? How does this passage reveal how our heart is to be “childlike” in our relationship with Him?
19. Read Psalm 78:4. Why is it so important to share the love of Christ with the next generation?
20. How can you, as a part of The Bridge Church family, apply these values to your life? What practical steps can you take to love people, believe God’s Word, and build healthy families?
