Discussion Guide:

Ice Breaker: Go around your circle and share this week’s highs and lows. What was the best part of your week, and what was the lowest part of your week?

Q1: What’s one thing that stood out to you from today’s message?

Q2: What “rewards” does God want for us in a healthy relationship?

Q3: What risks do you take when you approach dating based on God’s teachings instead of what’s most common?

Q4: How will those risks pay off in the end?

Q5: Ruth obeyed her mother-in-law and God when pursuing Boaz. How are your parents and God guiding you to approach dating? Are you being obedient?

Q6: What’s one big way you want to honor God with your future relationships? How can you maintain this commitment?


A circle is a community of people who are connected by common interests and a shared faith. LFC circles bring like-minded people together for Bible studies and encouraging small group discussions to help communities grow closer to God and each other.
