This week's theme
Love
1 Corinthians 16: 14:
Do everything in love.
Proverbs 10: 12 - 13:
Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
1 John 4: 7:
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Romans 5: 8:
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Galatians 5: 13:
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh, rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Romans 12: 1 - 2:
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.
Conclusion
Reciprocate God’s Love For You: Time and time again God has unconditionally loved you. You can demonstrate your love for God by getting to know Him on a personal level. You can do this by reading His word, by prayer, by obedience, by learning what His perfect will is for your life. As you walk with God you tell others of His mercy and saving grace. “Father, I stretch my hands to Thee; No other help I know” (Psalm 88: v9; Charles Wesley).
