9-26-10: Lesson 8 - Love is not a feeling

Sermon Theme: Love is not a feeling
Bible Verse: Love never fails -1 Corinthians 13:8

Bible Story:

God doesn’t love us one day and then stop loving us the next day. He loves us unconditionally and that’s how he wants us to love other people. Today’s memory verse it says “Love never fails” That means unconditional. Love is not a feeling. God showed us what real love is. Real love is unconditional.
What is unconditional love mean? It means there is no condition when you love. Expecting nothing
Example: They don’t have to do anything to gain your love sometimes we often say “I’ll love you if you do this for me”
Today we are going to teach you that:
1) Love is an action
2) Love is seeing people the way God does
3) Love is a choice

The greatest act of love in history was when God loved us so much that He gave us his son Jesus to die for our sins. God didn’t just say He loved us. He showed us that he did.
Jesus didn’t go to those who follow the laws. But he went to love the sinners – the tax collectors, the prostitutes, the blind, the mute, the leopards, the crippled and so on. Those are the people who others find them hard to love.

It’s easy to love those who love you. Even sinners love those who loves them. You think Jesus would say OH GOOD JOB you love someone who loves you…well probably yes!
Jesus is saying how about if you lend someone something but you expect to get it back? Even sinners lend to sinners and expecting to get it back. –So basically he’s saying you expect them to show you love after you love them
But how about loving the ones who are hard to love?
