DISCUSSION
Life App: Compassion—Caring enough to do something about someone else’s need
Bible Story: By Your Side (Jesus Talks with a Woman from Samaria) • John 4:1-30, 39-42
Key Question: Who matters to you?
Bottom Line: Show others that they matter.
Basic Truth: I am loved by God no matter what so I can love God, love others, and love life.
Memory Verse: The LORD has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God. Micah 6:8 (NIrV)
Ask the following questions and lead the group to discuss:
- Read Matthew 22:37-38. Who are your neighbors? Who do you think Jesus would say are your neighbors?
- Why is it important to show others they matter?
- How has someone made you feel like you mattered? What did they do?
- When have you felt lonely or like you didn’t matter?
- How can we tell when someone may be feeling like they don’t matter? How could we show compassion in those situations?
