"Loving, Just & Free" is a comprehensive United Methodist Bible study that invites participants to delve into the transformative aspects of discipleship. With a foundation rooted in the teachings of John Wesley and inspired by key biblical passages, this six-session study offers a holistic exploration of faith, encompassing the messiness, love, justice, freedom, compassion, and divine vision inherent in the Christian journey. Session 1: The Messiness of Discipleship The study begins by acknowledging the inherent messiness of discipleship, drawing inspiration from the call of the first disciples in Mark 1:16-20. Participants reflect on the challenges and rewards of following Jesus, emphasizing the imperfection and grace intertwined in the journey. Session 2: Love Beyond the Surface Building on the foundation of discipleship, Session 2 focuses on the profound nature of love, inspired by Mark 12:28-34. Participants explore the transformative power of love and its implications for relationships, going beyond surface-level expressions to embody the essence of love in action. Session 3: Pursuing Justice The study delves into the biblical mandate for justice, drawing inspiration from Micah 6:6-8. Participants reflect on the prophetic call for justice and explore ways to pursue justice in their communities actively, aligning their actions with the values of love, justice, and freedom. Session 4: Freedom in Christ Session 4 centers on the theme of freedom in Christ, guided by Galatians 5:1, 13-15. The study explores the balance between freedom and responsibility, emphasizing the continual journey of liberation in Christ. Session 5: Transformative Compassion Drawing from the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37, Session 5 focuses on the transformative power of compassion in breaking down barriers. Participants reflect on acts of compassion that bridge divides and transform lives, embodying the call to "do all the good you can." Session 6: Living the Vision The final session centers on living out God's vision, using the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) as a guide. Participants explore practical steps to put into practice the divine narrative of a loving, just, and free world, reflecting on the collective commitment to God's vision. "Loving, Just & Free" is not just a study; it is an immersive experience that encourages participants to authentically engage with their faith, fostering a sense of community, compassion, and a shared commitment to living out the transformative values of the Christian journey. Through scripture, discussion, and creative expression, participants are invited to embrace the messiness of discipleship and embody the love, justice, and freedom that define the followers of Jesus.
