In our April 26 Sunday gathering we continue our series on relationships by talking about commitment. This week's reflection questions are below:

1. How does our culture typically define “love”? How is that different from what you heard today?

2. Why do you think commitment is often undervalued in relationships?

3. When relationships get difficult, what is your natural tendency: lean in or pull away?

4. Where in your life are you currently tempted to give up or disengage?

5. How would you define the difference between “being in love” and choosing to love?

6. What are some practical ways you can choose commitment when your feelings don’t cooperate? What does it look like in real life to “stay” in a healthy way?

7. Where might you need stronger boundaries in your relationships? How can boundaries actually strengthen—not weaken—your commitment to someone?

8. In John 6, Peter says, “Where else would we go?” What do you think that reveals about his commitment to Jesus? What are some reasons people walk away from faith when it becomes difficult? Have you ever had a moment where following Jesus felt hard? What kept you committed?

9. How does knowing that God stays committed to you—even at your worst—impact the way you see Him? Do you struggle more to believe that God loves you, or that He will stay with you? Why? How can God’s commitment to you shape the way you approach your relationships this week?

10 What is one relationship in your life where you need to lean into commitment right now? What is one specific action you can take this week to “stay” (listen, forgive, show up, set a boundary, etc.)?
