SUNDAY SERVICE (ACT OF LOVE SERVICE)
Date: 3rd May, 2026
Preacher: Pastor Juliet Onekele
Topic: Love
Texts: 1 Corinthians 13:1–8, 1 John 4:8
Love is an expression that does not seek to harm but to bless and restore. It is a decision to do good rather than destroy. Love is not just a feeling but a choice to be reasonable and kind. Love is a person, and that person is Jesus. Jesus is love; therefore, as believers, there is a demand for us to love, and as you yield to Jesus, you become like Him (1 Corinthians 13:4)
Love is patient and perseveres. Love endures and does not give up easily.
Love is kind. Kindness can be expressed in many ways; you can show kindness by extending a helping hand and assistance to those in need.
Love is not boastful, envious, proud, or selfish, but it honours others. It is humble and selfless.
TO THE SINGLES
How you treat your season of singleness is important to your future marriage. As a single person, you are not meant to look for someone who will complete you but someone who will complement you, because only God can complete a person. Being single is not a curse but a season, so enjoy it.
I. Take yourself on solo dates; treat yourself well because you need to love yourself enough to be able to love another person.
II. Be submitted to God; when you truly submit to God, it becomes easier to submit to your spouse in marriage. Submission to God also means submitting to learning, and when you learn, you become equipped.
III. Be authentic.
IV. Get to know yourself before getting to know another person.
V. Build healthy relationships; the kind of relationships you build during your single years will reflect in your marriage.
VI. Do not become obsessed with perfection; discover your deal-breakers.
VII. Do not allow anyone to pressure you.
VIII. Pray about your marital intentions.
TO THE MARRIED
I. Make a decision to make it work; marriage requires involvement, intentionality, and commitment.
II. Build healthy communication.
III. Practise love and submission.
IV. Learn what works for you as a couple and continue in it.
V. Avoid showing favouritism among your children.
VI. Pray for your marriage.
WHERE RELATIONSHIPS THRIVE
Anywhere you see relationships that thrive and work, there is:
I. The absence of a critical person; a critical person is someone who is always focused on faults and errors, and such a person cannot sustain healthy relationships.
II. The absence of an entitled mindset; an entitled mindset is the belief that one deserves special treatment without earning it.
III. The absence of pride.
IV. The absence of selfishness.
V. Room for respect and honour.
