Looking Ahead/Catching Up: You will open each meeting with an opportunity for everyone to check in with each other about how you are doing with the weekly assignments. Accountability is a key to success in this study! Key Verse: each week you will find a key verse or Scripture passage for your group to read together. If someone in the group has a different translation, ask them to read it aloud so the group can get a bigger picture of the meaning of the passage. Video Lessons: There is a video lesson for the group to watch together. Fill in the blanks in the lesson outlines as you watch the video, and be sure to refer back to these outlines during your discussion time. Discovery Questions: each video segment is complemented by several questions for group discussion. Please don't feel pressured to discuss every single question. Give everyone ample opportunity to share their thoughts. If you don't get through all of the discussion questions, that's okay. Living on Purpose: in his book, The Purpose Driven Life, Rick warren identifies God's five purposes for our lives. They are worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. We will focus on one of these five purposes in each lesson, and discuss how it relates to the subject of the study. This section is very important, so please be sure to leave time for it. Diving Deeper: The material in this small group study is designed to complement the book, The Relationship Principles of Jesus, by Tom Holladay (Zondervan, 2008). Each week, this section will direct you to readings from the book for greater understanding of the topic. Prayer Direction: At the end of each session you will find suggestions for your group prayer time. Praying together is one of the greatest privileges of small group life. Please don't take it for granted. Your group will not just be studying love-you will be practicing love. Everyone will greatly benefit by doing the Putting it into Practice and reaching out Together activities. Putting It into Practice: This is where the rubber meets the road. We don't want to be just hearers of the word. We also need to be doers of the word (James 1:22). This section provides an opportunity for each group member to focus on one relationship each week (a "One Person Assignment"). It is introduced in more detail in Session one on page 21. Because it encourages individuals to develop or deepen relationships, it is an important part of 40 Days of Love. Reaching Out Together: A practical action of love that your group will
