We live in a society where women are viewed, presented, talked about, sung about like a commodity.

Renew your mind to think differently.

Make up your mind to behave differently.

In this school you are learning....

1. A real body isn't good enough.

2. One body isn't good enough.

3. Your spouse's body isn't good enough.

You will have taken a giant step toward becoming the person that the person you are looking for is looking for and....

You will have taken a giant step toward becoming the person that God has called you to be.

You will have put away the ways of childhood.

When in your life have you felt the most loved?

Take romance out of it. How do you know when someone really loves you? (think friends, family, co-workers)

In our society people can choose to be offended by that passage. On Sunday we discussed first century Roman culture and that the core of this is about using your "strength, influence and power" for the sake of others. For husbands, Peter is very clear that includes our wives.

In what ways are you striving to use your strength for the sake of others?

Can you share times in your past when you are had a difficult time doing that?

Have you ever considered that your actions can hinder your prayers?

Outside of romantic relationships....Do you think there are other actions that can hinder your prayers? Have you ever experienced something like that?

How does 1 Corinthians 13:8-11 help put your church in perspective? Your personal life?

In your opinion, what is the best way to develop the ability to love others?

How can our group be praying for you?

Maybe it would be good to go around the room and have a person take each of the prayer requests and personally pray (not out loud tonight) for those throughout the week.

You might follow up next week in Life Group.
