What we learned this morning in Small Group:

Everyone reacts to Jesus. Following Jesus may cost people their relationships, expectations, or possessions, but the joy of being with him is worth any price. While maturity as disciples requires the hard work of humility, self-awareness, repentance, and obedience, as we grow in these areas, we’ll become more like the people Jesus calls us to be.

We can rest assured that Jesus will not only be with us as we sacrifice for our faith, but also that he went first with the ultimate sacrifice. His whole-hearted embrace of us through his death and resurrection should motivate us to whole-heartedly follow him, wherever he leads us.

What we learned last night:

Loneliness feels like a hollow, empty aching that can cause us to live in a very dark fear that can seriously affect us! Loneliness is incredibly painful and difficult. Sadly, it’s not always resolved by more people! Some of the loneliest people are often surrounded by the most people! How do we fight against loneliness as Christians? Even more, how do we conquer the fear of loneliness if we are surrounded by good friends and good relationships? It’s only God’s love that can truly satisfy us!

In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Paul reveals that God is the source of comfort. When we feel lonely and hit by fear, God alone can truly comfort us in healing ways. Loneliness is a reality of life. Even with great friends, relationships, children, and everything you could ever want, we can still feel lonely! Even with other people present, relationships don’t always cure loneliness. This is why our solution can’t be found in people, but in God. When our solution is in God, His love can comfort us in moments of loneliness in ways that no other human being can.

Proverbs 18:1 tells us that when we isolate ourselves, we give into a toxic selfishness that is the opposite of sound judgment! Isolation is not wisdom! One of the reasons loneliness feels hollow and empty is because it creates a depression that causes us to withdraw in fear. When we give into the fear of loneliness, it actually makes us MORE lonely through isolation! Thankfully, God’s word gives us the solution: a strong biblical community! While God is the only true source of comfort for loneliness, doing life with a strong biblical community is one of the greatest things you can do to experience God’s love and challenge feelings of loneliness. If you are not truly plugged into community through relationship, fun, service, accountability, etc., then this is your cue. You were not made to do life alone!

Questions to think on:
1. How has loneliness personally affected you or a close friend?
2. How does God’s love comfort us in the fear of loneliness?
3. How does loneliness cause us to isolate? Why is isolation dangerous?
4. How can you plug deeper into community this week?
