Hold My Hand
The Power of a Church Family
Summer Concert Series
1) Just for Fun: What was your favorite vacation you took as a kid?
2) Read Romans 12:9-10 to your group-
"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other."
3) Read John 13:34-35 to your group-
“Let me give you a new command: Love one another, in the same way I have loved you, love each other like that. This is how everyone will recognize that you are truly my disciples-when they see the love you have for each other.”
4) Of the three things Pastor Mark talked about being repeated in the New Testament that make up the content of an authentic fellowship in a church (Love, Restoration, Encouragement), which one have you experienced personally the most at CCA? How can you take your experience and help someone experience the same thing in our fellowship?

- What does Paul say our love toward others should be like? (answers could include being sincere and genuine) What does that look like to you?
- Why do you think Paul instructed us to "hold tightly to what is good"?
3) Read John 13:34-35 to your group-
“Let me give you a new command: Love one another, in the same way I have loved you, love each other like that. This is how everyone will recognize that you are truly my disciples-when they see the love you have for each other.”
- What do you think it means to love others as Jesus loved you?
- How is Jesus' love for you different than someone else's love for you?
- How is it different than your own love for yourself?
- Before giving this command, Jesus had already demonstrated his love for his disciples by washing their feet. What do you think Jesus was thinking about as He washed Judas' feet? What would you have been thinking about as you washed Judas' feet?
- What kind of attitude is required for someone to serve other people?
- Since we wear shoes and socks, we don't really wash each other's feet anymore. What are some other simple ways you could serve other people?
- Question for individual reflection- Is there something you could do to serve someone else in this group?
