37: What love is!

02/22/21 • 29 min

Today’s episode we are finishing out our mini series on love as we close out the month of February! Kathy and Sara go deeper into 1 Corinthians 13 by talking about all of the characteristics that love is. God is love! He has given us His spirit through salvation and as we grow and train up in His word we begin to see the fruits of the Spirit in our lives. God’s love was poured out to us through Jesus and now we not only get access to eternity with our Father and creator but He also equips us with good and useful gifts for here on Earth. The very end of the chapter talks about being fully known and fully accepted by the Father. This is something we don’t get to FULLY experience through relationships here on Earth but God will never forsake us or never leave us... for eternity! How powerful! This passage of scripture was meant to move us and there is so much power in the Word of God! We, as believers, get to choose who we rely on each day. We can’t be patient, kind, enduring, hopeful or any of the things described without God enabling us. But the good news is He desires all of these things for us. We can trust He is going to finish the good work He has already started!

36: Let's talk a little more about love!

This week on the podcast, Sara and Kathy continue their journey through 1 Corinthians 13. Instead of talking about all the things love IS, this week we are talking about all of the qualities love is NOT. Love does not envy. It does not boast. It is not self-seeking. And those are just a few! Wow! Can someone say, 'convicting!'? The list of qualities in this chapter are sometimes difficult to see in ourselves but all too easy to point out in others. We want to challenge you this week to examine your actions first, take them to the Father and see where you need Christ's freedom. Where am I rude? Where am I impatient? We want to know those places that don't look like him because those are the places we are in bondage. Remember, to show agape love, we have to encounter Christ and allow him to change us, DAILY! Choose freedom, victory and grace! Run to His word. Run to the One who doesn't condemn but instead helps and heals! The goal isn't perfection...it's growth!
