Deeper Loving

Deepening Our Love for God We grow deeper in our love for God by: – Spending time with Him – Understanding and BELIEVING the Good News – Rethinking and digging deeper into the Word – Attributing God deals to God

Deepening Our Love for the Church We grow deeper in our love for the church by: – Realizing how important it is to Jesus – Seeing the church as family – Seeing the Church as a gift, not an obligation

Deepening Our Love for Non-Christians We grow deeper in our love for Non- Christians by: – Seeing them through the eyes of Jesus – Not holding them to standards they don’t claim – Deciding to take ownership of the mission

1 Corinthians 13 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. 3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. … 8-10 Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

1 Corinthians When I was an infant at my mother’s breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. 12 We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! 13 But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
