Week 1
Worship, Love, Compassion
1. Prince Charles – “For all the advances of science, there remains deep in the soul a persistent and unconscious anxiety that something is missing.”
What is the meaning of life? Where do you draw meaning from? What would those closest to you say is the ultimate purpose of your life?
2. Freddie Mercury – “You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man. And that’s the most bitter type of loneliness. Success has brought me world idolization and millions of pounds, but it’s prevented me from having the one thing we all need: a loving, ongoing relationship.”
What would be missing from your life if you lost every single relationship? Name specific emotions you would miss out on.
3. Christianity’s claim is that there is more to this life and it will be found through relationship with Jesus. True compassion is sharing that message with everyone. What do you think about this? Do you struggle with this concept? What are the obstacles for you?
