Icebreaker:
- If you worked in a kitchen, what kind of food would you make?
- Did you ever get yelled at in school? If so, for what?
Observation:
- Read 2 John 1:3 How do you see Jesus embody truth and love?
- Read 2 John 1:4-6 John describes that we walk in truth, obedience, and love? Do you think these things are one in the same or different? If so, how?
- Read 2 John 1:7-11 What do you think was going on that would cause John to issue such a strong warning? How do we see truth and love at play in this part of the letter?
Application:
- Gabby described truth as being both objective and personal. What does this mean and how does this help us understand truth better?
- Have you considered why we practice confession as a church? What does this practice mean for you personally?
- How do you see us separating truth and love in our communities?
- How can we hold onto our convictions without letting go of love in our lives?
