BOTTOM LINE

FIGHT FOR FORGIVENESS IN YOUR FAMILY.

GOAL OF SMALL GROUP

SCRIPTURE

TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO FORGIVE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS BY UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD HAS FORGIVEN THEM.

EPHESIANS 4:32

FROM THE TENSION 1. Why is it so easy to hold on to a grudge against family members? 2. Why do we often make excuses when we hurt family members, but refuse to believe excuses when they’ve hurt us?

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

FROM THE TRUTH

FROM THE A P P L I C AT I O N

3. How would you explain forgiveness to someone who had never heard of it?

6. What’s keeping you from forgiving someone in your family?

4. When you forgive your family, how does it help you?

7. Name one family member from whom you can ask for forgiveness for something you’ve done to hurt them.

5. Forgiven people forgive. How does knowing that you’ve been forgiven help you forgive others?

NEXT STEP Leaders, your students may feel like they need to tell their family members that they forgive them. In some cases, that’s fine. In most cases, however, it’s counterproductive. Explain to your students that it often brings up unnecessary tension. Encourage them to reconcile within their own hearts.
