Staying in Love - Part 4
Primary text: 1 Corinthians 13

Focus:
We are in the last week of our Staying in Love Series. We are going to dive into 1 Corinthians 13. We will talk about a very important choice that we make in our relationships. Think about the question: What is my default- do I usually assume the worst or believe the best? How does this affect my relationships? Where is God wanting to challenge me in this area of your life?

Reflection Questions:
1. What's the best piece of advice you've heard about making a relationship last?
2. What has been the most impactful piece of advice from this series that you can apply to a current relationship or even a future one?
3. Do you have high expectations in your relationships, or do you expect very little from those around you?
4. When there is a gap between what you expect from people and what they actually do, do you fill that gap by "believing the best" or "assuming the worst"? Share an example.
5. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, the apostle Paul defines love with multiple descriptors. Which descriptors of loving come easy to you? Which aspects of loving do you find difficult?
6. What specific steps can you take this week to fill the gaps in your relationships by choosing to trust and believing the best?
7. How can we encourage each other to respond to what God has for us?
