A desire for increased intimacy and accountability,The ultimate authority of Scripture in the life of the believer, andThat living life according to the biblical worldview is inherently better than that which our presuppositions and natural inclinations can produce. This study is meant to challenge your group. If at any time you are tempted to offer platitudes rather than vulnerability, be encouraged to fight that temptation. Have the hard conversation for the sake of unity. Fight the temptation to think about how these truths apply to others in your church body, choosing instead to focus on what you and your group can do to change.
The sections chosen for this study are representative of every “One Another” command in the New Testament. We believe that through faithfully applying these passages believers can expect to find lasting, resilient community.
