Summary
Pastor Safrit concludes the series on 1 Corinthians 13 by emphasizing the preeminence of love, based on the passage's final verse, which states that while faith, hope, and love remain, the greatest is love. He illustrates this through a story of selfless love and discusses how true faith and hope are activated through actions and trust in Christ. The sermon challenges listeners to evaluate their faith, hope, and love towards others, encouraging them to embody Christ's love in their daily lives.
Welcome and Announcements
Thank you for listening to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Sermon Audio. For more information, please visit our website, pgbcronda.com, or visit on all social media platforms.
Thank you, men, for singing and leading us today in worship. I appreciate that. And if you have your Bibles, we're going to be in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 today. This will be our last message in 1 Corinthians 13.
We have spent a couple of weeks. I think this is week number 10 in that. If you have a child that wants to be dismissed to Children's Church, it can be dismissed at this time. And we are excited to be in the Lord's house today.
A couple of things that I want to make aware of while you're turning there. Addie has painted her annual picture for Lottie Moon Offering.
If you would like one of these, this is the third time that she's the third one in the set of the collection.
It's the wise men going to Jesus. It's $10, and you can see... It's $4?
Oh, this is the fourth one. I'm sorry. Fourth one. I thought you'd cut a deal just now. $10 for each of these.
If you want one, she's got the other ones as well. And all the proceeds go to our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering next week. I did get to have lunch with our international missionary that was with Lottie Moon that directly benefits from Lottie Moon.
And I had lunch with him and his wife this past week. I'll share a little bit of that next week. And I've got a picture and a video to share with you for that as well. They are in South Africa.
And it's the missionary that we have been assigned to from the North American Mission Board. I'm sorry. It's for the IMB International Mission Board.
And so we're great with that. If you would like to make a donation today for the young men that sang for us, Owen and Reed, there are buckets at the front and the back. And we're going to give them a love gift today as well.
And the last thing I'm going to say is we are taking also throughout the entire month for all of our musicians and our sound people a love offering throughout the month. And we'll give that to them at the end of the month. And so we're excited about that. If you have your Bibles,
1 Corinthians 13, we're going to read the entire passage of Scripture today, all 13 verses.
And then I'm going to ask you to buckle your seatbelts today. And we're going to plow through this last verse. Let's stand up and honor and read the reading of God's Word.
The Importance of Love
And we'll read all 13 verses. If I speak human or angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and I have all faith so that I can move mountains, but I do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give away all my possessions and I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient. Love is kind.
Love does not envy. It is not boastful. It is not arrogant. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not irritable. It does not keep record of wrongdoing. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never ends.
But as for prophecies, they will come to an end. And as for tongues, they will cease. And as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when the perfect one comes,
the partial will come to an end. And when I was a child, I spoke like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. And when I became a man, I put aside childish things. For now we see only a reflection, as in a mirror. But then face to face.
Now I know in part, but I will know fully as I am fully known. In verse 13, our text for today. And now these three remain. Faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love. Let us pray. Lord, we love you. We thank you for your blessings today.
Lord, we thank you for the act of baptism. And the obedience that Bristol showed today. I pray, God, that you would just continue to be with the service. Continue to be with the preaching of your word today. And in your name we pray. Amen. You may be seated.
If you haven't been here, or you want to sort of get a glimpse of what we've been preaching on over the last ten weeks,
nine weeks, we opened up the first message of what is love with the greatest command that Jesus gave, which is the love as Christ loved and that the world would know you're my disciples by how you love one another.
And then we went into this passage of Scripture and we talked about the prominence of love and how without love we're nothing. And then we talked about what love is and what love is not.
Illustration of Faith and Love
And then the actions of love. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
And last week we talked about how the gifts that we have are not enough, but love is what the permanence that Christ has given us.
Today we're going to be talking about the preeminence of love and how love is the preeminent thing that we can have that Christ has given us. I want to introduce by a way of a story in a small coastal village. It was a sea where this village was at.
It was the heart of the people. And they lived there with a young fisherman named Kai. Kai was known for his courage, his deep love for his ocean, and all of Kai's life revolved around a small boat and the bountiful that it brought.
On one stormy night as the waves roared and the sky began to bleed crimson,
Kai's best friend, a seasoned fisherman named Elias, was caught in the torrential current of this storm. His boat tossed like a leaf and it was looking like his boat was going to go under. Seeing Elias' distress signal that flared through the downpour, Kai knew that he had to act.
Despite the fury of the storm and the warning of the other villagers, he launched his own boat out, determined to reach Elias.
The journey would be perilous and each wave threatened to swallow Kai's boat that he loved, that he lived his entire life for.
But he propelled forward because he loved his friend. Battling the relentless sea, Kai finally reached Elias, who was clinging to the wreckage of his own boat who had been destroyed. Battered and exhausted,
Kai brought him into his own boat. With strength born from desperation, Kai managed to pull Elias into his boat, battling the waves and navigated back to shore.
The journey was grueling. It tested both of their endurance. Their bond for one another grew even closer. When they finally reached the safety of the harbor, the villagers were stunned by Kai's daring rescue.
Their admiration echoed all throughout the coast. Everyone had heard about it. And though physically battered, Kai refused any praise, simply saying, Elias is my brother. And a brother never lets another brother down.
The act of selflessness where Kai risked his own life to save his friend in the face of raging storm became a legend in that village. A testament to the power of love that could conquer even the most formidable challenges that life puts in our way.
Paul, as he is in this passage of 1 Corinthians 13, begins to talk about everything that we've talked about the last nine weeks. That things are going to fall away. That things in life are going to fail.
Understanding Faith, Hope, and Love
But love is the greatest thing that we can have and we can possess. This morning, as we look at that story of that illustration, I want us to take our mind into these three areas. Faith, hope, and love.
We're going to spend just a little bit of time on each of those as we end with love this morning. I want to ask you to ask yourself this morning, how can you energize your faith this morning?
As we begin to look at this passage, as we begin to look at verse 13, it says this, Now these three things remain, faith, hope, and love. And so we have to ask ourselves, where is our faith at this morning? Where is our faith in our life?
Oftentimes we get hung up in a lot of little things, but I think James is one of the most practical New Testament books that we have.
And if you want to turn over, you can, but I've got the words on the screen. I'm going to look at a couple of verses in James, and James gives us some great analogies of how our faith should be.
James 2, 14 through 16 says this, What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can such faith save him?
If a brother or sister is without clothing or lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, Go in peace and stay warm and be well fed, but you don't give them what your body needs, what good is it?
In the same way, faith, if it does not have works, is dead by itself. But someone will say to you, You have faith that I have works. Show me your faith without works, and I will show you a faith by my works.
You believe that God is one good. Even the demons believe that, and they are shuttered. Senseless person. I love the words that James says here. Senseless person.
Are you not willing to learn that faith without works is useless? Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works by offering Isaac his son to the altar? You see that faith was active together with his works, and by his works. Faith was made complete.
And the scripture was fulfilled by saying that Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him to righteousness, and that he was called God's friend. You see that a person is justified by works, not by faith alone. In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute?
Also justified by works by receiving the messengers, and they sent them out by a different route. For just as the body without spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.
We begin to ask ourselves, What is faith? There is some great things in this passage that can help us illuminate what faith is. The first one I want to point out is simply, Empty faith is built on empty words. Have you ever met someone who, they do a lot of talking,
and in the end when you walk away, you feel like you've just maybe wasted 10 or 15 minutes of your life because they talked and there was no substance to their words. Or as they begin to talk, and as they begin to maybe make promises, there were empty promises in those areas.
As a father, I have to be very careful of these things. I have to be very careful of making sure that if I promise my kids something, I'm going to be vigilant in performing those promises.
If I tell Brody or Jade or Hudson, Hey, we're going to go to this place, and we're going to maybe, they love going to like a jump house or a jump place, and I tell them, Hey, if we're
going to be good, we're going to go there. Kids are the craziest because they will remember that like 17 years later. Dad, you remember when you promised me if I was good on this day, I would go here? But they don't forget those things. They'll forget their homework. They'll forget everything else.
And us as parents and us as Christians, we have to say, Is my faith an empty faith?
Second thing here in the second passage of the scriptures, 18 through 20, is true faith is more than just simply believing. James says, You believe that God is our one God, and he says even the demons believe that.
And he said, If we are going to have faith in church, if we are going to have faith in this life, it is more than just simply believing, it is doing in our faith. And then he gives two great illustrations.
One of the faith of Abraham, where he says, Abraham, he had faith and he trusted in the Lord, but it wasn't until faith took over into actions. When faith began to say, Lord, I trust you.
I'm going to do what you ask me to do. You want me to leave my family? Yes, I'll leave my family. Lord, you want me to go to this foreign land where they're worshiping pagans? Yes, I'll go over there. Lord, you want me to sacrifice my son?
Lord, this is a lot. And it says, By faith in actions,
his faith was brought together. If you look at verse 22, you see that faith was active together with his works. Church, this morning, we must energize our faith in a way that Abraham did and in the way that Rahab also had the faith to go forward. So why is faith important?
We have to ask ourself, and he says these three things are important. These three things remain. We have faith, we have hope, and we have love. So why is faith important? You see, faith is the essential quality of a Christian.
If you don't have faith, if you don't have this faith that is believing in Jesus Christ, then you cannot be part of God's chosen family.
And so you see, this is the expression of who we are and how we live and how we express our life in times and places and everywhere we go through our faith. Let me put it like this. The faith shows up in our everyday life.
It shows up, and it should be an outpouring or an outflowing of our heart, and it provides for us sort of a springboard.
You may have seen a kid, maybe there's a diving board on a pool, and they go out to that diving board, and they're going to show you some great thing, and they begin to bounce, and they jump.
I'm a bigger boy. I don't like to do those things. But what happens is that that diving board, it springs them forward to greater heights than they've ever done. And this is what faith does. It's another word we could use here as a catalyst. Faith is what drives us to go forward.
All the good deeds in our life which we strive for should come through our faith in Jesus Christ.
And so the whole point of energizing our faith this morning is how can we do this? Acting in our faith because we get to act in our faith.
This is one of those things where we get to do things for the glory of God. Faith gives us reason to exist, and it finds expression in our deeds and everything that we do. You see, we begin to look at our life, and we say, why do we do these things?
And people may ask you, why do you do the things you do? Why do you sacrifice a Sunday morning and come to church?
Why do you sacrifice a Wednesday night and come to church to study? Why do you sacrifice on a Lottie Moon offering or an Andy Armstrong offering? Why do you do these things?
It's because you have faith that God's going to take your small, simple act and make it something great.
But it all begins in us understanding and us attempting to energize our faith in a way where God is going to get glory.
Our faith connects us with our Christian hope. It connects us with Christian love, and so we'll go on into our second point, which is strengthening our hope. So what is hope? We explained what faith is.
Now we need to explain what hope is because all this is going to come together at the end.
Defining Hope in Christ
What is hope? Hope is an anticipation with assurance or a confident expectation. It's not just a wishful desire, something to be there, and it's not like saying,
I really hope that when I get home there's going to be ice cream in the fridge.
As much as I may want ice cream in the fridge, as much as Hudson who has been saying, Dad, can we make a pumpkin pie today? I don't know why he's fixated on pumpkin pie, but he wants to make a pumpkin pie with me.
As much as he wants to do that and me coming home and saying, I really hope that that's going to be there, this is greater than that. This is not just wishful thinking. This is an anticipation or an expectation
of what God has promised us. God has promised us that we will see him face to face one day if we believe.
And this is trusting and hoping in that sense. This is like the groom on that wedding day. I want you to imagine back with me.
It may have been a couple of years ago for you. It may have been 40 or 50 years ago for you.
You stood up on that stage and the pastor told you to sort of turn your back to the crowd so you're just looking at him and you're hoping and you're expecting for those doors to fling open and your bride to come through that door.
It's one of my favorite moments in a wedding where I get to tell that groom to turn around and look at your bride. And there's two types of people in the crowd, right?
There's the people that want to see the bride's face, but then there's those people that want to see the husband's face,
the groom's face, when he sees what he has been hoping for his entire life. And he turns and he sees his bride coming down and I like to do this. About halfway through, I'll tell him, go get her, son.
And he'll step out and he'll walk down that aisle and he'll go and get her. He's been hoping for it. He's been longing for it. He's been excited for it.
He's waited all day. He's waited all year. He's waited for the moment since he proposed, since they went on that first date. And now that hope is coming true in her walking down that aisle.
He gets to go through this. And this is the same hope that we have in Christ. You see, Paul wrote about hope a lot. Specifically at the church of Ephesus, he reminded them of their hopelessness before they ever met Christ.
Think back with me. Before you put your life into Christ's hands, before you put your life into a moment where you trusted in Christ, before you took your moment in that first step of a faith journey, the hopelessness that you may have felt.
For me, it was that a five-year-old little boy. My pastor was preaching on the reality of hell. It was on a Sunday night. And as he was preaching on that, I began to get this overwhelming sensation that that's where I'm going. I don't have any hope. There's no life after death.
I'm gonna spend an eternity without Christ. And I began to put my faith and trust in Jesus that day. I believe it was when I was five years old. It may have been for you.
You may have been 15 or 25 or 85 where you began to do that. And you begin to look back and you begin to see your life without Christ was meaningless.
Your life without Christ was hopelessness. And Paul here in the church of Ephesus is preaching to the church of Ephesus. And he says this. He said they began, as he was preaching in chapter 19, in Acts chapter 19, it says they were full of anger and they cried out. They cried out and said, great is Diana, the Ephesians.
And the town clerk, they tried to calm the mob and they tried to tell everyone who knew about this. They said that they were religious, but they were hopeless people. They were religious people. They believed in Diana. They believed in the false gods, but they had no hope.
And Paul in Ephesians chapter 2, verse 12, he writes this wonderful thing. He says, at that time, you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel. You were foreigners to the covenants of promise. And you ready?
Without hope and without God in this world. Hope is something that we have because we believe in Jesus.
Tough times come, as we talked about this morning in Sunday school. Tough times come and we don't know what's going to happen in life, but that hope is steadfast and secure in our life and we can trust in Him for everything that we go through. So how do we strengthen our hope?
I'm going to quickly run through these by sake of time. We can strengthen our hope through the past, through the Word of God. Romans 15, 4 says this, for whatever was written in the past was written for our instructions so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement of Scriptures.
I don't know about you this morning, church, but when times are tough, when things are difficult in my life and I open my Bible for my daily Bible reading and I begin to read through different specific passages and
all of a sudden the specific verses for that day begin to speak to my heart, begin to speak to my soul because it has given me hope and it has strengthened me through the words of the Scripture. That's what Christ does through the Scripture. is He encourages our heart. He encourages our soul.
He gives us endurance to continue on. But not only do we have
strength through the Word of God, we have through the resurrection of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 15, 19 and 20, if we put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone. But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead.
The first fruits for those who have fallen asleep. We have this awesome hope in the Christ who rose from the dead. And He now sits at the right hand of the Father and one day we will be able to see Him face to face because of the past acts.
But not only through the past but through the present. Though the strength,
through the strength that Christ has to offer, we have this present hope. Listen to this wonderful song that was written so many years ago. my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus'
blood and righteousness. On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. My hope is in Jesus, the anchor of my soul,
the ruler of this universe, the one who's in control. He saved me and He will keep me until the end. Ron Hamilton wrote this second portion. The rock of my salvation on Christ I will depend. My hope is in Jesus.
Church, this morning as we begin to evaluate our life, as we begin to ask ourselves, what is your hope in? Is it in the stock market? Is it in some man-made ideology? Is it in something that we can see today or is our hope in Jesus and in Jesus alone?
We also have hope in God's grace. 2 Thessalonians 2, 16 and 17. May our Lord Christ Jesus Himself and God our Father who has loved us and given us an eternal encouragement and a good hope by grace encourage your heart and strengthen you in every good work and word.
God's grace is so great in our lives as we this past week had our Thanksgiving and man we had a great Thanksgiving service on Sunday. Our four churches came together.
63 years is what I was told that we've had this Thanksgiving service and time after time in the last two years of the thankfulness of God's grace and God's mercy on our lives but then this past week we celebrated Thanksgiving.
I had family in from Arkansas and we had a family in from North Carolina from Charlotte that came down and just sat there in my house as my dad and my mom were there and my stepmom my stepdad
was there and my grandma and my grandpa and all my cousins and the nephews and the nieces were around and I just sort of sat back and just was overwhelmed by God's grace in our family. I don't know if that was you this year.
I don't know if as you sat there and you began to just reflect on what God has done for you you began to see the graciousness that he showed in our family. I shared in Sunday school about my nephew's half sister and the hopelessness that she had in life
and I got to share the gospel with her a little bit but without Christ and without God's grace we are one who has no hope
and not only do we have the past and the present that gives us hope but we have a future hope that we can look toward.
The eternal life that we have in 1 Thessalonians 5.8 but since we belong to the day let us be self-controlled and put on the armor of faith and love and the helmet of hope of salvation.
That salvation that we occur right now is also the salvation that we will incur in the future if we have this hope in Christ and then he begins to say there's also this deliverance from sin and I hope
this morning church you have put your faith in Jesus your hope in Jesus and have been delivered from sin in Romans 8 chapter 8 verses 20-23 for the creation was subjected to futility not willing but because of
him who subjected it to it and listen to these next couple words in the hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage to decay into this glorious freedom of God's children for we know
the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now in verse 23 not only that but we ourselves have the spirit as the first fruits and we groan within ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption and the
redemption of our bodies church this morning we have a hope in a future that is greater than anything this world has to offer this world may say do these couple of things and you'll become a millionaire in this moment do these couple
of things and you can have this wonderful success in this world and it all pales into comparison what Christ has for us in the glory as we stand face to face with him as we talked about last week
as we see through a glass darkly then we will once see through a glass clearly and see Christ revealed in his holy holy self I long for that day church
but then it gets to this last one it says these three remain faith hope and love but the greatest of these is love so how do we activate our love how do we activate this love that's with us
Exploring the Nature of Love
we've spent nine whole weeks church talking about what is love this has been one of the most revolutionary thoughts in my mind as we have went through all these different dynamics of what love is and then we begin to ask ourselves what truly is love
when I began this series me and Stephen we try to meet every week and through the holidays we haven't been able to and Stephen had made this statement to me and I haven't got it out of my mind he said the word love is the most misused word today
love is whatever you feel like you want it to be it's like an empty word you fill it up with whatever you want it to mean and you distribute that love
it can mean so many things to so many people when we hear the word love we may get a different picture in our head
so this question that we ask that is on your notes and it's been on there for the last ten weeks what is love is the question that is worth asking and it's worth us examining one more time today
because when Paul and when John wrote in the Bible and they wrote the word love they meant something completely different than what we mean and this is what I believe that the scripture says when it says what is
love and John wrote this in 1st John 3 16 through 18 the disciple that the Bible says that Jesus loved not that he had more love toward John than he had his other ones but he just had this
attraction toward John they just loved each other they cared for each other he was one of the three that the inner and this is what John wrote in 1st John 3 16 through 18 this is how we have
come to know love that he laid down his life for us and we also should lay our lives down for our brothers and sisters if anyone has the world's goods and sees a fellow believer in need but withholds compassion from him how does God's love reside in him
little children let us not love in word or speech but in action and in truth
see the importance of love that Jesus modeled here is the type of love that we have I want you to go with me one illustration came to my mind I want you to go with me there in the
garden of Gethsemane as Jesus is there and he's praying three different prayers one to his father for himself one to his father and to his believers there was with him his disciples but then his third prayer was the
prayer for us it was a prayer to those who would one day believe in Jesus would one day believe and this is recorded in the gospel of John and a couple other places
but after that prayer as he begins to go back and wake his disciples up
Peter and James and John the disciples are there around him and Judas comes into the garden with the soldiers and he said you're going to know that this is Jesus by a kiss of betrayal Jesus had just prayed for Judas one of his disciples
Judas came in in this loving act this loving act of of kissing Jesus on the face and the soldiers came and they grabbed him and they they bound him by the side and
and through this boldness Peter stands up and Peter pulls the sword out of the soldier and begins to chop the ear off of the soldier
in that moment I imagine the disciples like yeah go Peter like he this is sort of how I imagine this this moment and Jesus steps up and Jesus
says Peter now is not the time for a sword and Jesus out of love
for the man that was going to betray him Jesus out of love after the man that was about to beat him
that soldier is not mentioned we don't know if that soldier was the one that beat the crown of thorns on his head we don't know if that soldier was the one that had the whip and began to hit
Jesus with that whip we don't know if that soldier was the soldier that began to nail the spikes into his hands and his feet but what we do know
is that Jesus was love reached down to the man that was about to kill him and put that ear back on his face and healed him in front of all this
because Jesus showed love love in a way that we will never know and never experience until we get to heaven and we stand before him and we say Christ
how did you show love how did you able to do that
you see the only gift that we're told about in this entire passage that will never cease is love it is eternal it is the thought of love and the thought of Christ's love is so huge I like how
one commentator said it like this love should be at the top of Mount Everest when it comes to our spiritual disciplines it should be the very first thing we go to the highest thing we want to achieve is
this love that Christ has for us as far as faith and hope and love go the most God like is love because God doesn't have faith God doesn't have hope but God has love
God doesn't look down on heaven and say I really hope that Pastor James does a really good job today I'm not going to do a good job today but he doesn't hope in that he just says I love
Pastor James I'm going to give him the words to say he doesn't hope he loves God didn't send his son into this world
and have hope that this world would change but rather he loved this world and sent his son we'll say that again God didn't send his son into this world and hope that this world would change but rather he
loved this world and sent his son into world so the world could be changed by his actions.
You see, this morning, church, when we activate our love, the love that Christ has given us, what we are doing is we are simply bringing Christ into our life and we're serving the world around us. We're saying, Christ, how can I be your hands and feet today?
Christ, who around me in my circle of influence can I reach out to and touch for the glory of God?
Who can I influence today that's around me at work, when I go eat at the restaurant, when I go to the DMV, wherever I may go today?
Lord, who is in my path? Who can I serve today? Who can I help today? Who can I be put in my way that I can be the hands and feet for you? And we activate our love by doing that.
As the boys come and play and we're gonna sing in just a minute, I wanna ask us some concluding thoughts. The simple thing I wanna ask is three simple questions. Where is your faith at this morning? Are you trusting in self?
Is all of your faith and all of your hope and all of your love in a self-absorbed, self-consumed world? Maybe you're here today and you say, Pastor James, I've never put my faith and trust in Jesus.
Invitation to Faith in Jesus
I never want to preach a sermon where I don't ask the question, maybe today is the day where you put your faith and trust in Jesus today.
Where Christ, you begin to realize that he came and he died for us and we can live a new life today if we just simply trust and put faith in him this morning. Where's your hope at today?
Where is your hope at this morning? Are you hoping in stocks and bonds as I've mentioned a couple of times today? Or are we hoping in the savior of the world?
As we're going through our advent and we're going through the different readings and the different passages, we begin to see the hope in Christ that we have this morning. And that should be the hope that propels us to do greater things for him. And then ultimately,
how is your love toward others around you?
You see, this is the hard part because we can love toward others around us that we like. It is really, really, really easy to love people that we like.
But Jesus looked at the man that was about to kill him and loved him. Do we have that type of love this morning? Is Christ's love inside of us so much that people look at us and they say, all I see is Christ. We're emulating Christ so much that that's what's overflowing.
As I said a couple of weeks ago, when our Coke bottle of life is shook up and they open that top and it spews out, is Christ coming out? Or is something else coming out altogether? Where is our love at this morning? Let us pray. Lord, we love you.
Lord, I say that in so much of a greater term after these last 10 weeks because you have worked in my life so much on how we love and what we love
and what love truly means in your eyes. Lord, I pray that you'll be with us this morning. Help us as we respond appropriately. In your name we pray. Amen.
