Preacher: Jeremy Herbert

Theme: Love

Text: 1 Corinthians 13

Notes:

Love is defined by what it does–not what it says or what it feels.

Love:

  • Is Patient/Longsuffering and Kind
    • Patient with the faults and failures of others–and is still kind to them
    • It is not possible to claim to be patient if you are still unkind
    • How do I react when other people let me down?
    • God is patient with many who will reject Him
      • “God is good to the just and the unjust”, Matthew 5:43-48
      • Psalm 145:9
      • Romans 2, “the goodness of God leads us to repentance”
      • Kindness is love in working clothes
        • Augustine in Confessions, Ambrose moved him by his kindness;  “that man of God received me like a father”
        • Amy Carmichael in India
        • Rejoices in and speaks the truth
          • Our love for God and our love for others are rooted in the truth
          • Ephesians 4, truth matures us and unifies us
            • Ephesians 4:15, “speaking the truth in love”
            • The truth speaks love–but it always speaks lovingly
              • 1 Timothy 2:1-4
              • 2 Timothy 2:24-45, the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome
              • Revelation 2:1-5, it doesn’t matter how many things you get right–if you get love wrong
