Description
We all know them—those prickly people who jab, snub, and bruise us with their words or actions. Whether it's a difficult coworker, a critical family member, or a fellow believer who just rubs you the wrong way, the challenge remains: how do we love them the way Christ commands?
How Can I Love Those Prickly People? is an engaging 12-lesson Bible study that dives deep into the "one another" passages of the New Testament—practical, powerful commands that show us how to live in authentic, grace-filled community. From "love one another" to "forgive one another," "comfort one another," and even "wash one another's feet," you'll discover how to respond Biblically to the people who test your patience and stretch your faith.
In this study, you will:
- Explore 12 transformative "one another" commands from Scripture
- Learn how to love, forgive, honor, and encourage others—even when it's hard
- Gain practical tools for dealing with conflict, judgment, and emotional wounds
- Grow in humility, kindness, and Christlike compassion
- Be equipped to build stronger, healthier relationships in your home, church, and community
Perfect for individual study, small groups, or women's ministry settings, this study includes reflection questions, real-life applications, and a leader's guide to facilitate meaningful discussion.
You don't have to be perfect to love imperfect people.
Let God's Word show you how to love like Jesus—even when it's hard.
