Warm UP

What is the nicest thing anybody’s ever done for you?

Getting Started

How would you define love?

A LITTLE DEEPER

Jesus said -- John 15:13 -- that "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." Can you think of any greater expression of love?

Who would you be willing to literally die for?

DISCUSSION

In Romans 5:8, the Apostle Paul say, "God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us." How does this "prove" God’s love for you?

Does it make a difference that it’s not just your mom being willing to die for you, but God-the-creator-of-heaven-and-earth who literally died for you?

In verse 6 it says "at the right time Christ died." What was the right time?

What difference does our weakness and our ungodliness and sin make in the cross occuring "at the right time."

In Romans 3:24-25, the Apostle Paul says, "we are justified by God’s grace." In Romans 5:9, Paul says "justified by [Jesus’] blood." Justification is a legal term; we are declared just. But if God justifies us, why do we spend so much time trying to justify themselves?

What is the antidote to the insecurities in our lives?
