WEEK 1
OUTLINE/ORIENTATION …
Worship and Prayer
Introductions
A Reminder: study the tab entitled "What You Need to Know".
A Reminder of a basic theme in Comfort.Guide:
The purpose of this group is to live out and embrace the following truths:
WE DO NOT, AND CANNOT, EARN GOD’S LOVE, BECAUSE HE LOVED US FIRST.
IT IS ONLY BY RECEIVING HIS LOVE THAT WE BECOME COMFORTED AND FREE.
WE CANNOT OBTAIN COMFORT AND FREEDOM BY FOLLOWING OUR OWN WAYS AND LEANING ON OUR OWN “UNDERSTANDING”; AS WE DECIDE TO ALIGN OURSELVES WITH GOD, COMFORT AND FREEDOM COME!
“This is Love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” I John 4:10 (NIV)
A NOTE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING READINGS...
If you are in a group setting, it is unlikely that you will be able to study all the readings of each week during the group time. HOWEVER, be sure to study and absorb ALL OF THE READINGS during the week between sessions.
KNOWING JESUS CHRIST / OFFERING HIS ABUNDANT LIFE...
"A WOMAN AT A WELL". Click HERE to read it.
KNOWING OURSELVES / RECEIVING HIS ABUNDANT LIFE...
“CRYING OUT TO HIM - SEEING OUR EARLY LOSSES CLEARLY”. (Worksheet) Click HERE to read this.
HOW WE SEE GOD TODAY...
"WHO DO YOU CRY OUT TO?" Click HERE to read it.
"WHO IS HE?". Click HERE to read this.
“PSALM 139”. Click HERE to read this.
SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED THIS WEEK ABOUT JESUS AND YOURSELF
Be sure to read and absorb the material in the "What You Need to Know" tab at the top of this page.
We ask you to go to "Week Two Outline" and familiarize yourself with the material. Remember, Comfort.Guide is a work in progress, not assignments to be completed.
Begin thinking more and more about your own personal Story. It might center around, for example, one single event, or a series of events, or a pervasive outlook, etc., that blocks you from receiving, and giving, love.
