WEAK & STRONG: The Pattern Of Vulnerable Love

The Vine is considering the relationship between weakness and strength as displayed in the life of Jesus. In this message today, Scott Erickson (painter, speaker, author) shares a message from John 13:3-17. The life of those who follow Jesus is a life where we learn the ways of God's love and then learn to pattern our life in response. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION: 1. What was a thought or question that came from hearing the message this week? 2. Scott shared the conviction- "Resurrection begins in our vulnerable spaces." Have you seen that principle at work in your life? 3. Read John 13:3-17. What stands out to you in hearing this story today? 4. After Jesus had washed their feet, he said, “I’ve laid down a pattern for you.” How can we wash peoples' feet today? What's an equivalent? 5. Why is it hard to believe that God not only loves you but "it’s you I LIKE?" What's the difference? 6. In the message, Scott had us envision a person who has loved us into being. Who was your person you thought of in your ten seconds?
