The Summit Church

What do you think of the statement:
"Every relationship is spiritual." Explain why you would agree or disagree.

If you love God you will love others. Why do you think God takes our relationship with others so seriously?

Using the verses above in Micah and Matthew as a reference list out what God requires of us when it comes to others and what is required of us when it comes to Him.
Which one has been the hardest for you to implement?

According to 1 John 4:20-21, who is a liar?

There are many "one-another's" throughout scripture. List some of the ones that come to mind.

It's never about just you and them and it's never about just you and God but all of it together.
Talk about any current or past relationships you have compartmentalized to avoid having to live out some of Jesus' commands when it comes to others.

Think about who in your life right now is hardest to love.
Have you looked for a way out of loving them or do you take on the weight of trying to "fix" the relationship or person?

What is the danger of falling into either of the extremes listed above?

Thinking back to the person that is hardest to love and in light of the scriptures you have read together ask yourself this question-
What does love require of me?

Spend time praying over how the Holy Spirit would lead you to answer that question this week. Share with your group what would make that difficult and ask them to pray with you.
