Nuggets for the Week
  • Now is the time for believers to be embodied by the Spirit of Christ
  • Be a people to respond only from the counsel of God despite the surrounding circumstances
  • Knowing Him allows His love to radiate through us by being in His Presence
  • God is intentionally loving on this spiritual family with the hopes of us responding back with everything
  • It is the Spirit of God that will allow us to love Him, know Him and respond rightly

Reflections
  • Why is our response to Christ's love diminished when things happen in our own lives?
  • Why is it difficult to serve one another wholeheartedly?

 Key Takeaway for the Body 
  • May we be known as a people persuaded by love
  • Loving God requires God's Spirit loving God in us
  • Being in the Presence radiates Him to others
  • Be a people that make time to know God
  • Spending time with God must become a priority for this spiritual family
