G1 Is it possible to genuinely love someone that we don't agree with, or even like?

G2 Read Luke 6:27 - imagine you were reading it for the first time. With a simple reading, what is your emotional response?

G3 According to Luke, chapter 6:27-38 is one of the first things that Jesus says to His brand new team of disciples. Why is this important?

G4 What is the difference between Jesus' commands and "enabling abuse"?

G5 Read Psalm 37:1-11, 39-40. How can this Psalm help us understand (or even stomach!) Luke 6:27-38?

G6 When, if ever, might Jesus' words not apply? G7 Read verse 35. Why is our status as God's children tied up with how we respond to our enemies?

S1 Write down the names of your enemies (those who hate you, curse you or mistreat you). In faith, start praying for them, ask God’s strength to love them, bless them and do good to them. Start with little steps as the Holy Spirit leads you.
