This lesson on love will look at how agape love will endure throughout eternity. Now is the time we are to be learning how to love selflessly like Jesus. The Lord offers us all the grace we need to love more like Him, for we can’t do this through our own strength and wisdom.
Love rejoices in the truth; “It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” These are expressions of God’s love working in frail people. You will learn about this kind of love in this lesson.
In this lesson we will study two characteristics of the God-kind-of-love we are commanded to live out. And this comes from 1 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 5. The first is that love is not self-seeking and the second is that those who love don’t get angry. This lesson might shake you up a bit.
In part 4 in our series on love we will finish looking at what love is not and then begin looking at what love is. The text we are focusing upon is 1 Corinthians 13, verses two through four.
Love is the topic of this series we are in. First Corinthians 13 is the primary focus of this study, but we took some time to look at 1 Timothy chapter one, verse 5 that presents three important components of love, which is a pure heart, a good or clean conscience and sincere faith. We then returned to 1 Corinthians 13 to start digging into verse 2. This is an excellent teaching on love.
This lesson in our series on love will be an examination of verse one of First Corinthians 13, where we will learn what love is not.
This begins a short teaching series on love. The focus of this lesson is to show that Jesus is the only true and faithful standard of what it means to love. Because we don’t naturally have the power to love like Jesus we need His grace and power to love more like Him.
In this lesson we will examine two works of the Holy Spirit. The first is that the Holy Spirit is referred to as Living Water, and the second is that the Spirit gives to believers power in various ways that will glorify Christ.
