PowerPoint Presentation: 

What is God’s LOVE Corinthians 13;4-8 In Greek God’s love is called AGAPE Characteristics: Unconditional- because it is unconditional no matter what non reciprocal – it’s one sided because it does not have to be retuned It’s freeing - other centred Love, no demands

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Agape involves a CHOICE the choice to allow Him to use us as an open vessel through which HE can pour HIS Love. Agape is not NATURAL love but SUPERNATURAL (I choose not to allow my emotions, thoughts and desires to interfere) This is totally opposite to our way of loving

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Agape is NOT AUTOMATIC Why – we are full of self Hurts, fears resentments, etc. Baggage - they separate us from God if we continually live in them. (not His choice but ours) Isiah 59:2 God’s love is the only thing that allows us to FORGIVE unconditionally (are you wiling to be a Hosea?)

PowerPoint Presentation: 

God’s love exposes Sin God’s love is that pierces through the darkness and exposes truth. If you love People with God’s love they may become closer or may flee away. If the one loving continues with Agape love the end results will be reconciliation! Don’t Box God In! God is also Chesed Love- long suffering and merciful AND Firm and Disciplinary

PowerPoint Presentation: 

HUMAN LOVE -is always conditional – I’ll love you if you’ll love me. It is SELF centred, two sided, and based upon what we think, feel and desire. It is a bondage Love.

Three Types of Love Storge Love 9greek for “feeling love”, “ affecttion love”, “Controlling love”, seeks it’s own love not the good of the other person Eros Love – natural sexual Love. Can lift us up above ourselves (escape), passionate, erotic and intoxicating. When Eros love controls us there is no room for GOD.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Phileo Love – anything we are strongly attracted to. John12:25 –our own life, thoughts and emotions. Having something in common, friendship love, mutual attraction, being compatable . Seeks only the good of itself! . All 3 Loves can be good or Bad but are built on RECIPROSITY ( I owe you)

PowerPoint Presentation: 

A BETTER WAY -Agape is the whole meaning and PURPOSE of our lives (1 T imothy 1:5 ) 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 God’s love is the ONLY WAY others will know we are Christians John 13:35. Outsiders can spot phonies a mile away. Our Actions must match our words!!!! Loving with God’s Love proves we are abiding in HIM.

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Loving with God’s Love shows we are FILLED with the Fullness of HIM. Loving with God’s Love is the perfect “Bond of Unison” between us and Him and Us and others. JESUS IS THAT LOVE AND HE ABIDES IN US!
