Being Real in a Superficial World! Matthew 22:37-39 Dr. Clarence Byerly March 22, 2015

The vision of Faith Baptist Church is to be passionate followers of Christ, committed to transforming our world through building authentic relationships and taking the love of Jesus to the lost and hurting. RELATIONSHIPS ARE MESSY!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Cor.13:4-6 What is love?

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. Matt. 22:37-39 Who do we love? The Upward Look! Love God! The Outward Look! Love Your Neighbor! The Inward Look! Love Yourself!

If you love me, keep my commands. John 14:15 How do we love? Love Defined: LOVE TAKES THE INITIATIVE TO SACRIFICIALLY MEET THE LEGITIMATE NEEDS OF OTHERS USING LEGITIMATE MEANS. Dr. Howard Grant

Authentic Relationship: “Being my real self in a superficial world!”

We love, because Jesus first loved us. 1 John 4:19 Why do we love?

1.A deeply personal question: What does building an authentic relationship require of me – right now? The Challenge: 2.Get involved in a small group of people with whom you can live life together. 3.This week, intentionally break down relationship barriers by building authentic relationships with those in your sphere of influence.
