Countdown: The One Thing (Tuesday)

1. Why do you think people naturally want to know what “the one most important thing” in life is? What do you think your most important thing is?

2. When you hear the word “love,” what do you usually think of? How is that different from the kind of love Jesus describes in Matthew 22:34-40?

3. Why do you think Jesus told the religious leader he was “not far from the Kingdom of God”? What do you think is the difference between trying to be a “good person” and becoming one of “God’s people”?

4. In what ways can someone follow rules about God but still miss a real relationship with Him?

5. What might it look like for you to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength?

6. If loving God and loving others became your “one thing,” how might your life or priorities change?
