Dr. Barclay - Something to Think About
Theme: Love comes from God and when we receive his Son as our Savior, we truly know and experience the love of our Heavenly Father.
Today the term love is used indiscriminately, such as people saying we love our car, shoes, house, truck etc. However the Bible is very clear when it speaks of love. Love has to have a source. God is that source.
Love needs an object, we cannot love without an object.
John 1:1-5 The object of God’s love is Jesus. In the Gospels we read Thou art my beloved Son Luke 3:21-22
God loves his son, if we have received Christ as Savior and are living for him, then we are also the children of God. Romans 8:16-17 heirs of God, and joint-heirs with ChristGod wants only what is best for us and that we may spend all eternity with him.
How blessed we are to serve a loving God.
Pastor Caroline Barclay -
Theme: When our motives are pure and sincere love will be what shines through and nothing else.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7
We are nothing and of no use if we do not have love. The Bible does not change and it’s message does not change-but it changes us- it changes who we are.
Stuff and things will not make us happy and content, unless we have love. Material goods are not important, we can have very little, yet have very much if we have love.
1 John 4:16 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Love never fails, Jesus never fails. Love is eternal, Jesus is eternal.
1 Corinthians 13:13
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
