Sermons About Agape
Glory in the Fellowship Part 4
Jesus gave us the path to a total life makeover. The command we are given is to love the Lord your God. Agape love is about choice, not about feeling. We are called to love God with our whole being! We are called to love God with all our heart, the core of our being. We are also called to love God with all of our soul, the core of our emotions. Finally, we are called to love God with all our mind, the thoughts and intellect. Whole health comes by worship, prayer, and the Word.

Love At All Cost pt 2: (Romans 13:8-10)
Now, we looked at verse 8 last time, at the debt of love. Here Paul is going to link a financial principle to a spiritual principle. We discussed that this passage is not meaning that Christians cannot have a debt. It means that they must pay back the debt they have. It is not forbidding us to borrow. It only obligates us to pay back.

Love Impossible
This sermon lists the 15 facets of God’s agape love that are outlined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. This quick survey of the passage using both Greek definitions of keywords and a variety of Bible versions demonstrates that the demands of this love are impossible to fulfill! In actuality, the description of love by Paul is the same love that Moses witnessed when he met with God on the mountain in Exodus 34. Paul asserts that this level of loving is what is expected of members of the Body of Christ. It is only through the power of God that this can ever become a reality—already fulfilled through Christ who represents the believer, and still in progress by the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in every believer.

The Only Thing That Counts
The first of a 4-part series on The Love Chapter, this sermon lays the foundation for a study on what, according to Paul, is the only thing that counts in your life, especially within the context of the Body of Christ. The main theme of 1 Corinthians 13—on church membership—uses a variety of extreme or impossible situations to underscore that the only thing that counts is to have God’s agape love as the driving force in everything you do as a member of Christ’s body. There is a pattern or formula that becomes evident in the first 3 verses of the chapter: some extreme or impossible feat, the phrase “but do not have love”, and a dismal pronouncement such as “nothing”. Without God’s unconditional, sacrificial and everlasting love, whatever you do is worthless.

A Prayer for the New Year
3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, [1] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:3-11
