A Heart of Servant Love

James Rochford
John 13:1-35

Why would anyone want to pursue a lifestyle of sacrificial love?  Sacrificial love is motivated by having a new identity in Christ.  God loved us first and gives us an example to emulate.  Giving is the key to a happy life.  This will make us or break us.  This was the last teaching Judas heard from Jesus and he walked away to betray Jesus. This servant love convinces others that God's love is genuine.

Let All Things Be Done for Edification

Mike Woods
1 Corinthians 14:1-26

Paul admonished the Corinthians for valuing spiritual gifting over love.  He called them to pursue love above all the gifts.  He outlined what the principle of love would look like in our fellowship gatherings where everyone was prepared to edify each other with both our gifting and love.

Pursue Love

Lee Campbell
1 Corinthians 13:1-13

The pursuit of love first involves receiving God's love through Christ, then reflecting on God's love toward you so you avoid the drift toward self-love, and finally, asking God to help you love when you are unmotivated to love.

Questions of Conscience and Love

Lee Campbell
1 Corinthians 8:1-13

The practice of eating meat sacrificed to idols does not seem relevant to us today, but the principle of living under the Law of Love does still apply.  The law of Love should drive our decision-making about what we allow and don't allow.  We should voluntarily constrain our freedoms for the benefit of others.

The Kindness of the King

Scott Risley
2 Samuel 9

The kindness King David showed to Jonathan's son Mephibosheth is a picture of God's grace. Just as King David searched for and called Mephibosheth and gave him abundant gifts and honor, so does God seek, call and give extravagantly to all who respond to Him.

Two Lost Sons

Patrice McCormac
Luke 15:11-132

The parable of the prodigal son is really about the extravagant love of the father. Jesus is reproaching the self-righteous Pharisees for thinking their moral righteousness is what gets them right with God instead of the humble repentance eventually displayed by the younger son
