From December 28, 2025 Sermon – 1 John 4:9-10

1) 1 John 4:9-10 provides us with a compact telling of the “story” of reality.  What story does that passage tell?

2) One way we can struggle to live the truth of the message of Jesus is to try to live according to the wrong story.  What are some alternative stories you have oriented your life by?  How has that played out in your experience?

3) Another way we can struggle to live the truth of the Gospel is to reduce our own story to only one scene in our story (either a good scene or a bad scene).  How does that alter our view of what is really true?

4) How do our emotions show us what story we are actually orienting our life by?  What do your emotions tell you about what story you are living by today?
