How do you build friendships in small groups?

Pastor Curtis — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:43:33 +0000

First Corinthians 13:4-8a makes a wonderful group study. It names the fifteen characteristics of love. Master these characteristics and your group will build lasting friendships.

A friend is patient. He under-speaks, he over-listens.
A friend is kind. He under-assumes, he over-clarifies.
A friend doesn’t envy. He’s content with what he has, and wishes others the same.
A friend doesn’t boast. He knows God alone is on the throne.
A friend isn’t proud. He approaches people not with “Here I am” but “there you are”!
A friend isn’t rude. He sees others not as things to be used but as people to be loved.
A friend isn’t self-seeking. He demands fairness and equality for others but never for himself.
A friend isn’t easily angered. He asks the Lord to wash away malice and brings forgiveness and peace.
A friend keeps no record of wrongs. He just repays the wrongdoer with deeds of kindness.
A friend doesn’t delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. He seeks openness, to know and be known.
A friend always protects. His love covers all his friend’s misdeeds.
A friend always trusts. He is responsible for and accountable to.
A friend always hopes. During tough times, he’s optimistic.
A friend always perseveres. He under-promises, he over-delivers.
A friend never fails. He’s Christ-like!
