Spiritual Simplicity - In the Name of Love, Part 1

So what would you do for love? Maybe it’s better said, what have you done for love? In this message, Chip explains that God designed you to give and receive love, and it can be better than you thought possible, but you have to be willing to do one thing.

Learning to love in “Real Time”

Responding to Hurts:Truth: Love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4a); Practice: When hurt, love absorbs the blow and responds with kindness.Responding to Differences:Truth: Love does not envy or boast; it is not rude, self-seeking, easily angered, or does it keep a record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13:4b-5); Practice: Celebrate differences and refuse to compare (1 Corinthians 12:12-31).Responding to Failure:Truth: Love doesn't delight in evil but rejoices with truth.... Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:6-8a); Practice: Love responds to failure with truth and grace.Responding to Misplaced Priorities:Truth: Love never fails... (1 Corinthians 13:8-13); Practice: Love ruthlessly refuses to allow temporal “good” things to crowd out the eternal “best” things.

The Supremacy of Love

Love is supreme & our ultimate goal (1 Corinthians 13:8a).Application: Separate from the world's values (Romans 12:2).
