An Appeal to Love
October 25th, 2026

Hook

• Can you think of a time when a relationship in your life went a level deeper? (Friendship deepening, dating into marriage, a kid hitting a developmental milestone, etc.) What happened?

Book

• John 14:4–9. Now read it again slowly. If there is a part that stands out to you, share.

Look

• Keith said that we regularly respond to Jesus in the way that Thomas did in John 14:6, “I want to do the right thing, but I don’t know how.” In what way are you stuck doing the wrong thing because you don’t know how to move forward? What do you think you need to get beyond that?

• Pastor Keith said, “The Way is a Person…The Truth is a person…The Life is a Person…He IS what we need.” How does your perspective need to change to be more aligned with this truth?

Took

• What doubts are you needing to wrestle with or confront in order to deepen your faith?

• We grow relationships by devoting time to them. How will you spend time with God this week to step into a deeper knowing of who he is?

• Jesus is standing at the door knocking; will you let him in this hour, this day, this week? Next level—how?

Pray

• Pray in groups of 2–4 out loud for each other that you would move more fully to a one-on-one, loving relationship with God. He wants you. Pray that you would live for an “audience of one.” Pray that you would know him, not just know about him.

• Jesus has been with you all this time. You have everything you need. Pray that this week you would live in the knowledge and presence of Jesus.
