Take a T.R.I.P. with Jesus

Every week we launch a new adventure with faith and family. It's called T.R.I.P.". Just read the big story for this week and discuss the questions with family, friends, and neighbors. 

1. As you think about the text or story, can you think or a few things you are thankful for?
2. Do you feel any regrets?
3. Is there something that you need to step into with God and intercede, which means to pray for help for you and/or others?
4. After some thought about the text or story, is there something you plan to do or do differently?

This Week in the Word

1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

6This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are three that testify: 8the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
