Rise up (week 5)

Love 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in LOVE, in faith, in purity. For each scripture please discuss how you can apply then in your personal life. Mark 12:31 The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Romans 12:10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Galatians 5:13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 1 Peter 2:17 Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God, and respect the king. 1 John 2:15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 1 John 3:10 So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God. 1 John 3:14 If we love our Christian brothers and sisters, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead. 1 John 3:16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.

Rise up (week 4)

Conduct 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Galatians 6:5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct. Look at Galatians 5:22-23 for a list of conduct we should desire and live by (that we are responsible to ask for) Do you practice any of these fruits in your life? Why or Why not? Philippians 1:27 Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News. What does it mean to “live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ”? Why does God want us to be “aliens” on earth? Can we live as “aliens” but still “blend in” here on earth? Proverbs 20:11 Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright. What does this verse mean in your own life? Will you live differently now that you know this? Proverbs 21:8 The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright. Is your conduct upright? Do you care if your conduct is upright? If it is not, what can you do about it?

Rise up (week 3)

Week three: Speech 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Discuss theses verses with your small group and what they mean in your life. Ephesians 5:4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes-these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. Matthew 12:37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 15:11 It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” Matthew 15:18 But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you. Luke 4:36 Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey him, and they flee at his command!” Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. John 15:47 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! Luke 6:45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. James 3:1-12 Controlling the Tongue Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.
