This week’s message was entitled “Convictions and Community”. From 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 we heard how community strengthens convictions. In order to better understand this aspect of our life together, consider these questions:
- When you talk with others about convictions, what tends to pull you from being motivated by love? What can you do when these motives begin to direct you?
- When it comes to helping others with decisions, why is it so tempting to focus on your own convictions? How can you focus differently? Why is this so important?
- When is it difficult to trust in God’s work of grace in another’s life? What affect does this dynamic have on your relationships? In these relationships, how can you become confident in God’s grace?
Let’s pray that God would work in each of our relationships, that we may be compelled by love, focused on God, and confident in grace, as we continue to grow in being a community of grace.
