🔵Wed Bible Session🔵Finding Purpose Through Love in Every Relationship

 


Introduction: Light Reveals Purpose

  • Purpose in relationships is like finding your shadow in the dark — it requires light.

  • Light comes from:

    • God’s Word — “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

    • People reflecting God’s goodness.

  • God’s guidance is compared to a glowing arrow in a movie theater — it leads you to your “seat” next to those you’re called to love.

Knowing You’re Not an Accident

  • Every part of your story matters, even the painful chapters.

  • God uses your experiences to help you show compassion.

  • “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

  • Life is like a GPS — even wrong turns are “recalculations” that bring you to people who need your testimony.

Purpose in Small Acts of Love

  • Purpose often appears in unnoticed acts of kindness.

  • “Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” (Matthew 25:40)

  • God measures greatness in “teaspoons,” not shovels.

  • Small kindnesses enrich relationships.

Love in Action Requires Sacrifice

  • Showing up even when it’s inconvenient.

  • “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” (John 13:34)

  • Love costs comfort but grows purpose.

  • Serving others is a team effort.

  • “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function…” (Romans 12:4-5)

    • Everyone has a role — even the “cowbell” matters.

Listening Before Speaking

  • Listening creates space for healing.

  • “…Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” (James 1:19)

  • Silence can be holy.

  • Needs revealed in listening often point to your purpose.

Forgiveness as a Door to Purpose

  • Forgiveness is difficult but essential.

  • “…Forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” (Colossians 3:13)

  • Acts of forgiveness can be more powerful than words.

Embracing Uniqueness

  • Your quirks and gifts are God-given.

  • “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” (1 Peter 4:10)

  • God made you a one-of-a-kind original.

  • Your perspective may be the exact tool needed to help others.

Stepping into the Unknown

  • God calls us beyond our comfort zone.

  • “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us? Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’” (Isaiah 6:8)

  • Faith fills in what’s missing when we obey.

  • Purpose often blooms where we least expect it.

Encouragement as Spiritual Fuel

  • Encouragement lifts both giver and receiver.

  • “…Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works…” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

  • A kind word can change a life.

  • Purpose multiplies when shared.

Patience in Growth

  • Growth takes time.

  • “…For in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:9)

  • God works in unseen ways during slow seasons.

  • Strong roots form through perseverance.

Hospitality as Love in Action

  • Opening your home or table opens your heart.

  • “Distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.” (Romans 12:13)

  • Hospitality turns strangers into friends, and friends into family.

Being a Peacemaker

  • Peacemakers protect unity.

  • “Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9)

  • Peace is contagious when chosen intentionally.

Faithfulness in Relationships

  • Faithfulness is the oil that keeps relationships running.

  • “…But who can find a faithful man?” (Proverbs 20:6)

  • Steady presence often matters more than grand gestures.

Carrying Others’ Burdens

  • Walking with someone in difficulty fulfills God’s law.

  • “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

  • Shared struggles lighten the load for both people.

Generosity that Overflows

  • Generosity includes time, attention, and compassion.

  • “…For God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)

  • Giving reminds others that God’s supply never runs out.

Helping Others Find Their Purpose

  • Supporting others’ growth strengthens communities.

  • “As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17)

  • Helping others shine brightens the whole room.

The Central Thread: Love

  • Love ties all purposes together.

  • “Let all that you do be done with love.” (1 Corinthians 16:14)

  • Small acts done with love have eternal impact.

  • Purpose is not far away — it’s lived out daily in ordinary moments.

From Darkness to Light: Breaking the Wall Between You and God

Image
  1. Sin Creates Distance from God Sin, especially repeated sin without sorrow, builds a wall between a person and God. This wall makes a person feel far from God's presence. The spirit suffers because it was made to be close to God. 2. Sin Damages the Body, Mind, and Soul Drugs cause mental confusion, anxiety, and addiction; they harm the body and make the soul feel empty. Alcohol affects the mind and mood, hurts the body, and brings guilt to the soul. Gluttony (eating too much) causes health problems and makes people focus on pleasure, not God. Lust and sexual sin bring confusion, shame, and pain to both the body and soul. 3. The Deep Impact of Sexual Sin Sexual sin is very harmful—it hurts the body and spirit. It brings shame, guilt, and emotional pain. It separates a person from God’s love and peace. 4. Repeated Sin Hardens the Heart Sin makes the heart spiritually weak, dry, and far from God. Over time, sin clouds the mind and blocks G...
