4 - Ministry of Love

Walk worthy - in love, light, and wisdom! (Luke 15:2, 7:34)

Overflow God’s love in redemptive relationships!

  1. Define love 3-5

Don’t settle for cheapened, counterfeit love!
Love is:

  • More than a feeling
  • Contrasted with sexual immorality
  • Patient, kind, selfless… (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
  • Patterned after Jesus’ character and sacrifice
  1. Stand for love 6-10

One of the great dangers of homosexuality is the underlying false teaching!
Seek to please God, and beware of deception!
We can be friends with sinners without joining them in destructive causes!
We can stand against homosexuality while standing for the loving treatment of homosexuals.

  1. Demonstrate love 11-14

Let your light shine through words, actions, and character, to show the love of Christ!
We don’t seek to shame or condemn, but to bring conviction for God’s truth.
Confront sin with grace and truth, patience and hope!
Keep a gospel testimony and invitation before others!
