Jesus Loves You AND Likes You
If you could be famous for something out of the ordinary, what would it be and why?
What stood out to you most from the message?
Share with the group a routine or something you do to try to replenish yourself or get filled up.
What is your relationship with social media and other platforms (is it strictly business, pleasure, personal, educational)?
Read John 3:16 and Romans 5:5-6. How does it feel to hear that God loved you before you ever deserved it?
Why is it difficult to trust and rely on God's love and approval instead of other people?
What is one step you can take to start breaking the habit of looking for likes from others and instead look to the love of God?
Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like, “God, thank you for sending your son to die for us and loving us before we ever deserved it. We ask that you fill us with your love, and reveal to us where we need to rely on you. Give us the courage to trust you. Amen.”
Whether we realize it or not, most of us are constantly seeking approval – from authority figures, loved ones, and social media. But the need to be liked is only ever temporarily fulfilled online – and statistics on social media use show that it heavily impacts our mental health. Join Teaching Pastor Ali Patterson for an honest discussion on how you can divest from the “like” culture of social media and discover something better – Jesus’s love.
