The Holy Spirit Of Love

c. We are loving when:

i. Even when it may seem that someone is trying to hurt us, but we don’t jump to conclusions saying that that person doesn’t like me. Give the benefit of the doubt.

ii. We don’t go by first impressions

iii. Not believing anything I am told about somebody else until I know myself

iv. Even if someone is against me, always speak positively about that person.

v. In church

1. Even if we don’t agree on an issue, we still can love each other and not go behind his back and talk bad about them.

2. Even if I don’t get called from the nominating committee I still love them

3. We consider each other family

4. When we can hear some counsel and receive with gratitude and not take it as criticism.

5. When we visit, call and pray for each other.

6. Even when someone is not fulfilling their responsibility like they should we still love them.

7. When we live what we sing

8. When we see others through the eyes of Christ.

9. We are loving only when we allow God’s love to come over us not only in a sermon or a song, but every moment and every day.

IX. Our greatest need

a. No to fix the church

b. Not to have two churches merge into one

c. Not to have the ideal pastor

d. Not to have everything organized perfectly

e. Our greatest need is the indwelling of the Spirit that fills our hearts with more love for God and for our neighbors and then we will be Christians that speak in the power of the Spirit, that have the power of the Holy Spirit.
