Love
The Superiority of Love
Love will last forever. We’re preparing for a place, here, for when we will be immersed in love, there.
Love is Strong, Part 2
The cross of Jesus Christ has so secured us to Him, that we have a hope that extends beyond this
world, which enables us to endure all things while we’re in this world.
Love is Strong
Biblical love is strong. It protects rather than exposes. It prefers to trust, rather than being cynical.
Love Rejoices in Truth
Love does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices in truth, purity, and holiness. Are you tempted to rejoice in evil things? This week’s sermon deals with some topics that might hit close to home.
Love is Not Angry
Our hearts are prone to sinfully explode with anger in the moment, and to hold on to grudges over time. Love does not do these things. It will seek to overlook offenses and forgive debts.
Love is not Selfish
Christian love is the pursuit of your happiness alongside of my own, and even as a means to my own.
Love is not Prideful
We are prone to think too highly of ourselves and too little of others, but genuine love will magnify others at the expense of self.
Love Does Not Envy
Love takes pleasure in, and pursues the good of others. Envy cannot do that.
Love is Kind
Kindness is what love does because it delights in the happiness of others.
Love is Patient
Patience is the quality in
Christian love that is able to hold up under the weight of others’ offenses.
