Purpose of your Crazy Love Group: If the greatest of all is love, then the people of The Crossing need to have a clear understanding of what God expects in the realm of love. Love is a tangible and concrete outworking of one's relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. The goal is to call our people to a higher standard of relationships.
What’s the verse we are using? 1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails."…now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
