NOTES: 


QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY 

  • What does it mean to “abide in love” according to 1 John 4:16? How does this shape our relationship with God and others? 
  • Verse 18 says “perfect love casts out fear.” What kinds of fear do you think this refers to, and how can love practically overcome them? 
  • How does the idea that “we love because He first loved us” (v.19) challenge or encourage your understanding of love? 
  • Why is loving others inseparable from loving God, as emphasized in verses 20–21? What are some real-life examples of this principle? 
  • How do the qualities of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 align with the command to love our brothers and sisters? Which of these qualities do you find most challenging? 
  • How does renewing your mind and pursuing truth help you grow in confidence and hope? 
  • What role does community play in helping us live out the kind of love described in this sermon? 

 PERSONAL REFLECTION AND APPLICATION 

  • Is there any fear in your life that you need to surrender to God’s perfect love? What would it look like to trust Him more fully in that area? 
  • Think of someone you find difficult to love. How might God be inviting you to love them in deed and truth this week? 
  • Reflect on a time when you felt overwhelmed. How did your connection to God—or lack of it—impact your ability to respond with love and hope?
