Talk (Love Hate / Friends - The one with the rumour)
Introduction
Tonight I would like you to think about loving your enemies as much as you
hate them.
I would like you to watch Friends : The One With The Rumour
[Friends - The One With The Rumour]
Questions from the video
In the video, Rachel’s Boyfriend Ross admits that he was a founding member of the 'I hate Rachel
club'...but now he loves her
How would you feel if someone told you they 'hated' you?
How would you react if you found out that your friend was once a member
of a 'hate club'?
How would you feel if someone spread a rumour about you?
Middle bit
Lets see what the bible says about love and hate
In the Bible there are 2 types of love:
first is a love like a relationship about marriage and oh la la
the second love is a friendship love or family love like best friends,
brothers, grandparents.
Matthew 5:43 says "You have heard that it was said 'You shall love your neighbour and hate
your enemy' but I say to you 'love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you.' "
What do you think that means / what are your thoughts on that?
Romans 12:10 "Love one another with brotherly affection outdo one another in showing
honour"
What do you think that means?
Do you agree or disagree?
[Read each line out, stopping to ask what they think about it]
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Describes what love is...
Love never gives up
Love cares more for others than for self
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have
Love doesn't strut (pompous self important inflated)
Doesn't have a swelled head
Doesn't force itself on others
Isn't always "me first"
Doesn't fly off the handle
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others
Doesn't revel when others grovel
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth
Puts up with anything
Trusts God always
Always looks for the best
Never looks back
But keeps going to the end
What do you think to all that said about love?
Is it true or false?
