Discussion Questions for December 21, 2025
If you enjoy these questions or they are useful, I would like to hear about it! - Pastor Harvey
1. How has your understanding of “love” been shaped more by culture than by Scripture—and where do you see God gently correcting that through Romans 1:1–7?
2. Why does it matter for your faith that God’s love was “promised beforehand” and not a reaction to human failure?
3. What does it look like, practically, to believe that “love has a face and a name—Jesus”—rather than treating God’s love as distant or abstract?
4. Which of these identities do you struggle most to live out: called, belonging, loved, or saint—and why?
5. If obedience flows from being loved rather than earning love, what might need to change in how you approach your relationship with God—or with others?
