Opportunity to Love: A Conversation Around Missions
Manage episode 427728834 series 13162

“God loves us, and we have the opportunity to love others as he loves us, not in big things, but in small things in great love”
— Mother Teresa, 1979 Nobel Peace Prize Speech
1 John 4:10 (NIV)
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Romans 5:8 (NIV)
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Mark 10:45 (NIV)
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Romans 12:1 (NIV)
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
Ephesians 5:2 (NIV)
And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Mark 2:16-19 (NIV)
These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
What Gets in the Way?
Matthew 28:16-20 (NIV)
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Mark 1:14-15(NIV)
After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Reflection Questions:
1. Is it hard for you to believe that God loves you?
2. Who is God giving you the opportunity to love currently?
3. What is one small thing in great love you could do for that person this week? 4. What does that look like?
5. What obstacles or barriers do you need to overcome to make this happen?
Matthew 28 says that some doubted while worshiping. Where is your area of doubt in regards to you living this passage out? (Fear of rejection, inadequacy, impact, lack of conviction, etc)
