    What’s Love Got To Do With It?
    Series: 2023

    Valentine’s Day -
    A day all about celebrating Love

    Greeting card companies, florists, even candy companies spend much money on marketing for this one day

    For everyone that is profiting off this holiday, it isn’t about love, it’s about greed.

    Tina Turner famously sang “What’s Love Got To Do With It”

    She said love was just a “second hand emotion”

    Look with me to Colossians 3:12-14 NASB

    Vs. 12

    Those who have been chosen of God

    Put on a heart of…

    All of these attributes seem so easy to say, but, in reality, in this lost world, they are seemingly hard to live

    Compassion is not just feeling for someone, but feeling so strongly that you are moved to action

    Compassion literally means to suffer together

    We are God’s people, and we are so hard that compassion is a distant reality

    Kindness
    Humility
    Gentleness
    Patience

    Vs 13

    Bearing one another

    Forgiving each other

    Just as the Lord forgave YOU

    Vs 14

    Put on Love

    In Corinthians 13 we find that love is basically all these things we just talked about

    Galations 5:22-23 shows us all these things are the fruit of the Spirit

    So as those who have been chosen of God, these things should be evident in our every day lives

    In a world where selfishness, greed and hate seem to dominate; the world needs to see Love

    Tina Turner was wrong! Love is not a second hand emotion. Love is the outpouring of the Spirit of God within us

    Do you have that in you today?

    Where Are You Building?
    Series: 2023

    Where are you building, that is the question that came to my mind this week.

    For all of us we need to know what we are building on

     

    As I child I remember singing the song about the wise man and the foolish man

    Most of us would understand the folly of building a house upon the sand, but, when we are talking about our faith, it changes

    Just like building on sand would be cheaper and faster, so is shallow faith

    Deep faith takes time and much effort, just like building on solid rock

    It isn’t only the difference in the investment

    It really is about the difference in the choice of foundation

    We would probably all confess that Jesus is our foundation

    But, is He really?

    Often times, even for Christians, our faith and trust is in other people first and only Jesus as a last resort

    Jesus is the chief cornerstone and because of that the best one to place our trust

    Let’s look closely at this passage again

    Vs 24

    "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.(NASB)

    Hear the Word

    Act

    Wise

    Vs 25

    "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.(NASB)

    In every life some rain will fall

    On the solid foundation, even through the rain you can stand

    Vs 26

    "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.(NASB)

    Hear the Word

    Ignore

    Foolish

    Vs 27

    "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."(NASB)

    Great was the fall

    We all have a choice of what we build our life on

    It isn’t just a nice picture or a few empty words

    Houses that are still standing after a hurricane are examined and replicated

    Not only will you building on the firm foundation make you wise, it can influence others as well

    Where are you building today?
