I LOVE THAT! Religious or Relational?

The following questions can be used as a weekly recap in a small group setting or as a personal study aid for the sermon preached by Senior Pastor, Tommy Dove, at the Grace Place on Sunday, July 9, 2017.  Past sermons are available offline at www.nashvillechurch.com.  Click on “Media” to view the video.
Weekly Warm-up:
What was the last new skill you learned?
How often are you required to re-train at your job?
What new skill would you like to learn?

Weekly Overview:
Christianity is not really a religion; it is a relationship.  Attending a certain church or following a set of rules is not what is required.  Jesus said we are to love God first and love others more than we love ourselves.  It sounds simple but it is not easy.
Weekly Discussion Questions:
Read 1 Corinthians 13:2-3, Acts 10:9-20, Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37

What was God telling Peter in the vision?
Why was this such a radical idea?
What value is theology and doctrine?
Why is Christianity different from other religions?
What should we put our faith in?
How does loving others express our love of God?
How does loving others change them?
How does it change us?

Group Prayer:
Pray for pure love for God.

Pray for a deeper love of others.
