Christians Care for One Another

Key Point: God wants Christians to treat each other with loving care.

Key Verse: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on
toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting
together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another—and all the more as you see the
Day approaching” (Hebrews 10:24-25).

Bible Exploration: Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23

The early believers did their best to live together in peace. The way they lived wasn’t just important for their little community, it was important for their witness to those who were watching.

To discuss:
  • Think about your closest friends - What are some of the things that you have in common? Do you reject/prevent others from joining your group of friends because of religion, race, socioeconomics, age, etc...
  • What are some of the benefits of meeting with other Christians? Are there any negatives to meeting/being friends with people who are like you?
  • Do you feel like meeting with others encourages you to do good deeds?

Family Challenge:
  • Spend an evening writing friendly notes to church
    members who your family is acquainted with. You may
    choose people you don’t get along with or people you
    simply don’t talk to much.
