• Living on Purpose: in his book, The Purpose Driven®
Life, rick warren identifies God’s five purposes for
our lives. they are worship, fellowship, discipleship,
ministry, and evangelism. we will focus on one of
these five purposes in each lesson, and discuss how
it relates to the subject of the study. this section is
very important, so please be sure to leave time for it.
• Diving Deeper: the material in this small group
study is designed to complement the book, The
Relationship Principles of Jesus, by tom holladay
(Zondervan, 2008). each week, this section will
direct you to readings from the book for greater
understanding of the topic.
• Prayer Direction: At the end of each session you
will find suggestions for your group prayer time.
Praying together is one of the greatest privileges of
small group life. Please don’t take it for granted.
Host Tip
The study guide material is meant
to be your servant, not your master. The point is not
to race through the sessions; the point is to take time to let
God work in your lives. Nor is it necessary to “go around the
circle” before you move on to the next question. Give people
the freedom to speak, but don’t insist that they do. Your group
will enjoy deeper, more open sharing and discussion if people
don’t feel pressured to speak up.

Discovery Questions
DISCIPLESHIP
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to
acts of love and good works. (Hebrews 10:24 NLT)
FELLOWSHIP
the Lord’s Supper offers us a chance to quietly explore
the depth of Jesus’ love for us, but there is more to it than
that. following that first Communion, Jesus gave us a new
commandment: love one another. when we celebrate the
Lord’s Supper, it is a statement of our love for the Lord, but
it is also a statement of our love for each other. Communion
is meant to be shared in community.
turn to page 110 for guidelines for serving the
Lord’s Supper.

PuOing It into Practice:
The One Person Assignment
Pass it on—that is the whole point of this study!
who do you know that will benefit by reading The
Relationship Principles of Jesus? You can lend them your
book or buy them a copy of their own. You might even
consider starting another 40 Days of Love study with a
different group of people to share what you have learned.
however God leads you, this is too good to keep to
yourself. news about real love is good news. Pass it on.
You will be blessed, and so will someone else.
Diving Deeper
the goal of love is not some false ideal; rather it is seeing
God at work in our real lives: “forget the ideal, and go for
the real!” finish reading chapters 36–40 in The Relationship
Principles of Jesus this week.

Notes . . .
it’s a good idea for every group to put words to their shared
values, expectations, and commitments. Such guidelines will
help you avoid unspoken agendas and unmet expectations. we
recommend you discuss your guidelines during Session one in
order to lay the foundation for a healthy group experience. feel
free to modify anything that does not work for your group.

this is a place where you can write each other’s requests for
prayer. You can also make a note when God answers a
prayer. Pray for each other’s requests. if you’re new to group
prayer, it’s okay to pray silently or to pray by using just one

one of the most effective ways to drive deeply into our lives
the principles we are learning in this series is to memorize key
Scriptures. for many, memorization is a new concept or one
that has been difficult in the past. we encourage you to stretch
yourself and try to memorize these six key verses. if possible,
memorize these as a group and make them part of your group
time. You may cut these apart and carry them in your wallet.
