“Love in Action ”

Savannah White, Associate Pastor

In this message, Pastor Savannah dives into Romans 12:9–21 to show us that the love followers of Jesus are called to is not passive or accidental, but active and intentional. Just as Christ moved toward us in love, we are called to move toward others in the same way. This kind of love is not a feeling we wait for but a choice we make, a posture we practice, and a response to the mercy God has already shown us.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. In what ways do you see a passive love show up in your own life?
  2. What do you think most often keeps us from loving in action?
  3. Which part of Romans 12:9–21 convicted you the most?
  4. What is a tangible way you can "move towards" others in love this week?
  5. Romans 12:1 reminds us that active love is a response to God's mercy, not a way to earn His approval. Why is that distinction important?

LIFETRACK STEP Three: Discover purpose

ROOM 109  |  12:15PM  |  LUNCH & CHILDCARE PROVIDED

No matter where you are at on your journey, Lifetrack is the first step that we encourage you to participate in here at Kankakee First Church. This is where you will learn about WHO we are as a church, WHAT we believe, and HOW we are structured to help you along your spiritual journey. Lifetrack is a four-step process that helps you discover your redemptive purpose and live the life God created for you. You will learn more about who we are as a church and who God has created you to be.
Lifetrack is also our onboarding for our DreamTeam.
