6 | Love God and Love Your Neighbor | The Life and Message of Jesus

...........................................................................

VISION

...........................................................................

[ Begin with sharing for one or two minutes the purpose behind discipleship. You can do this by answering the question, "What is discipleship and why do we do it?", by sharing a Scripture about discipleship (such as Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:2, etc.), or asking them to share in their own words why they think discipleship is important ]

...........................................................................

FELLOWSHIP

...........................................................................

1) What is a high and a low in your life since the last time we met?

2) What is something God has been highlighting to you since the last time we met?

3) How did it go applying your obedience step from the last time we met?

4) Is there any sin you need to bring to the light so that God can bring healing in that area?

LUKE 10:25-37, 6:27-31

...........................................................................

25 And behold, a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”

27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

28 And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”

29 But wanting to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

The Good Samaritan

30 Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

31 And by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

33 But a Samaritan who was on a journey came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

35 On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’

36 Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”

37 And he said, “The one who showed compassion to him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”

...

27 “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who are abusive to you.

29 Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic from him either.

30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.

31 Treat people the same way you want them to treat you.
