SERMON TITLE:
UNDERSTANDING AND WALKING IN LOVE
(LUKE 10:3037)
The story of the Good Samaritan in
Luke Character Ten(10) reveals one
of the deepest teachings on love.
A certain man on his way from
Jerusalem to Jericho was robbed, beaten, wounded, and left half dead by thieves.
A priest saw him passed by on the other side without attending to him
-Similarly, a Levite passed by on the other side, totally avoiding him. But a Samaritan, though considered an outsider, stopped, showed compassion, and saved the man's life.
-This story reveals a powerful truth: Love is not defined by position, but by action.
THE FOUNDATIONAL
TRUTH ABOUT LOVE.
1. Love is the Nature and Character of God.-According to 1 John 4:8,God is love,. Therefore, to know God is to walk in love.
WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE(1 JOHN 4:8).
2. The earth was created by God (Love) and is sustained by love.
-If God is love, then creation itself is a product of love-and must function by love.
3. Man was created in the image of love.
-Being made in God's Image means we were designed to live and function as loving beings.
4. The world malfunctions without love.
-The wickedness, hatred, and selfishness we see today are signs of a system operating outside its divine design or blueprint.
WHAT IS LOVE ALL ABOUT?
1. Love is treating others the way you want to be treated.
-Love is practical, it is doing to others what you would want others to do to you. (Matthew 9:12).
2 .Love is having genuine concern for the feelings of others.
-Love consider the emotions, pain, and dignity of others.
-A loveless heart is hardened and indifferent to the feelings of others. But love makes one sensitive and compassionate.
3. Love is maintaining goodwill towards others.
-Love celebrates others, not envying them.
4. Love is adding joy and fulfillment to others.
-A person who walks in love is a distributor of joy.
-Your presence should lift people not drain them.
5. Love is making positive differences in the lives of people.
-Love creates impact.
-Every meaningful contact with a loving person is meant to leave a positive mark.
-Contact without impact is a waste opportunity.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to be deliberate, intentional and practical about loving people.
2. Practically show love to someone who is in need today.
3. You can call someone
you have not seen in church for a while; let them know how much you care.
