On Sunday, May 11, 2025, at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on John 13:15 , 34-35. This message was part 3 of the “Fired Up” sermon series.  Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion.  You will also find audio and video from the message to listen to/watch, download or share.

Sermon Questions:

1. Pray


2. Read John 13:15 , 33-35


3. Have you ever thought of God the Father as being firm, while Jesus is fun?  The Father represents the Law and the Son Love?  The Father holiness and the Son helpful?  What kinds of dichotomies have you created about the identity of God the Father and God the Son?  How does the Holy Spirit fit into your thinking?


4. Jesus commands His followers to love as He has loved them.  He defined love and modeled love for them.  How does Jesus define love?  How does the world around you define love?


5. How are you doing loving others as Jesus loved you?  Any particular areas in which the Lord was challenging you during this message today?


6. More than just a call to individuals, Jesus was collectively calling His people to love as He loved.  This creates a community that has evangelistic effectiveness and creates an environment of loving growth inside the church.  From your experience, do churches tend to be places marked by the love of Jesus, or something else?  How are you contributing to this environment (positively or negatively)?


7. The standard that Jesus sets is well beyond our natural ability.  We need both forgiveness and empowerment.  Thankfully, Jesus gives both!  Do you need to ask Jesus for forgiveness today for a “less than Jesus love-full” life?  Do you need to ask His Spirit to enable you to love as He has loved? If so, spend some time with the Lord in prayer now.


8. What stands out to you most from this message?  Any particular takeaway?
