True Love


Wuv, Twue Wuv…

“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
 –1 Corinthians 13:13

The world twists love: 
-marriage un-sanctified 
-marriages without love 
-parents not loving kids; kids not loving parents 
-siblings not loving each other 
-people viewing others as objects to be manipulated for their own gain 

“By this all people will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” 
-John 13:35

We’re called to love everyone…friends or enemies, Christians or non-Christians, annoying brothers or frustrating parents. 

We need an attitude of service

Pray: heart filled with God’s love; see others through God's eyes

Do we really love non-Christians?
Do we love them enough to share the gospel with them?
Challenge: witness to two people before the end-of-the-year party in two weeks. 
  • You can use the tracts, but that’s not required. 
  • You can witness to someone you know (who is not a Christian) or a stranger. 
  • You have to actually talk to someone, even if it’s just to ask “hey; is it okay if I hand you something to read?” or do the two-step “hey; can I ask you a question? If you were to die today, are you 100% sure you would go to heaven?”  
  • If you need more tracts, just ask. :)

Witnessing tips
1. Go in a team 
2. Pray before you start! 
3. Don’t think of your own fear; focus on the needs of the people you’re witnessing to 
4. Make sure your behavior reflects your message 
5. Remember that God is more powerful than your fear! 

Try going to a park or mall… You can even make a project out of it and call it a “homework assignment,” the way the imaginary girls in the skits did a few weeks ago.
