A Vessel of Love

The topic of the sermon today is: "A Vessel of Love".

Again, it is about love. God is love and love come from Him. I always believed that in everything that we do, it begins with the word L.O.V.E.

Love comes from God and springs from out heart

1 John 4:10 ~ This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1 John 4:19 ~ We love because He first loved us.

God's love is unconditional.

The Great Commandment - Matthew 22:36-40

The Great Commission - Matthew 28:18-20

The Behaviours of Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-6

~ Love is not doing things that are fantastic; love is actually our daily attributes and daily principles in life

~ Love is not about changing another person, but being gracious and regarding the person positively

Abraham Joshua Heschel

"When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people."

Albert Schweirzer

"Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate."

Love is not about doing something special, but it is about choosing not to do foolish things.

Love can be strong yet fragile

Love requires communication and expression

Love nurtures and protects 

If love is betrayed

It takes time to heal ~ Let go of your pride and hurt, receive the love of Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit, choose to forgive

It requires sincere repentance ~ True repentance requires practical action

Where there is love, there is relationship;

Where there is relationship, everything else does not matter;

Let the love of God springs from us and walk with us;

Be a Vessel of Love!
