1. Why We Believe What We Believe About Love
1 John 4:7 – 11

2. What Is Love?
“No words can define it-It’s something so great only God could design it. It grows through the years In sunshine and rain, In gladness and sadness, In pleasure and pain, It’s ever-enduring and patient and kind-It judges all things. With the heart, not the mind… And love can transform, The most common place, Into beauty and splendor, And sweetness and grace… Yes, love is beyond what man can define, For love is immortal, And God’s gift is divine.”
