 Small Groups

Have students take turns reading. They should read loud enough for everyone to hear and can stop after one verse if they want to.  1 Cor. 13:1-13 (NLT) 

 “If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. 6 It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 8 Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear. 9 Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! 10 But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear. 11 It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now. 13 There are three things that will endure-- faith, hope, and love-- and the greatest of these is love.”

 ASK A FEW: In what ways does love help a family resist the wolves trying to attack them?

 ASK A FEW: Why do you think Paul says only three things (faith, hope, and love) will endure, but the greatest is love?

 ASK A FEW: In what ways does your family love like this? 

 AROUND THE CIRCLE: What is one way you could love your family better?

Wrap Up: 

So, tonight we talked about Paul’s “love” passage in 1 Corinthians 13. Isn’t it a little ironic that almost every married couple has this passage read at their wedding, but then, sadly, they don’t live in love like this when they become a family? Not only is it sad, but it’s dangerous. 

One of the things you’ve hopefully learned by now is that when we love each other, it’s much more difficult to be torn apart by jealousy, or envy, or greed. It’s also much harder for unforgiveness to reign in the same place where love reigns. When you love someone, you want the best for them, and nothing else. 

 In short, love brings people together and makes them stronger. 

 Here’s the challenge for you this week. The challenge is for you to read through this same passage with your family. That’s right. Pretty simple, huh? All you have to do is say, “Hey Mom, Dad. Let’s read one short chapter from the Bible.” See what happens. If you’re feeling really bold, you might ask a few questions about it afterwards. But just make sure you give everybody a chance to hear this important piece of Scripture. 

Then live it out, yourself, It will make your family stronger. Already Gone: Why your kids will quit church and what you can do to stop it
