CRAZY LOVE
CHAPTER 3 & 1 Corinthians 13 and John 3:16 & 17 questions
1) How would you explain the difference between knowing God’s love intellectually and knowing it intimately?
2) Think about your life and your relationship with God. How does God demonstrate His love to you? Be specific. How do these demonstrations of God’s love affect you? (Don’t think about how these things ought to make you feel; describe how they actually make you feel and what they move you to do.)
3) Describe some things that have made you question God’s love for you (whether God gave you things you didn’t want, didn’t give you what you wanted, or took something good from you). How do these things make you feel about God and His love?
4) In light of your circumstances, what would it mean to believe and embrace God’s love for you?
5) Do you remember the moment when you “got it,” when you first realized you loved God with your heart, mind and soul? Describe that moment.
6) How can you work together with the Christians in your life to remind one another throughout the week of the love Jesus demonstrated on the cross?
7) Can you honestly say that you believe God is the greatest good in the universe? If not, what keeps you from affirming this? If so, what makes Him the greatest good?
8) What is love? List the seven characteristics of what love is and the eight that it is not in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7?
9) Rewrite each of the “love is…” qualities to show what love ought to look like in your specific situations at home, work, church, etc. Which one do you feel the need to work on this week?
