Letting the Church be what God intends for it to be! Letting Love Grow

Letting Love Grow We are not simply a gathering of people who love God. We are fully expected to Love One Another Romans 13:8 Romans 12:10 Ephesians 4:32 1 Peter 4:8

Letting Love Grow We can’t force growth in the church any more than we can in a simple plant. Paul acknowledged this reality in 1 Cor. 3:6, saying, “God gave the Growth”

Letting Love Grow We must put attitude ahead of Ideas. Programs can’t overcome a bad attitude toward one another! Hebrews 10:24,25

Letting Love Grow We must love people we do not know. Love is more an action than a feeling! Matthew 5:46,47

Letting Love Grow We must show ourselves to be Disciples. Love limits our personal options! John 13:35 (15:12) Love represents a mutual loss of independence!

Letting Love Grow Our love for one another is to be constantly increasing! 1 Thessalonians 3:12, 4:9; 2 Thessalonians 1:3
