Fill Up On Love

SERIES:  Come to the Feast!

TITLE:   Fill Up On Love

TEXT:  Matthew 1:18-25

 

I. THE REASON FOR THE FEELINGS

 Three words ring out to me: (Joseph felt betrayed).

 How we choose to respond at the moment of betrayal and the days that follow is (everything).

 4 things tend to do instead of focusing on love;

1. (Deny)

2. (Withdraw)

3. (Duplicate)

4. (Expose)

 

II. THE RESPONSE TO THE FEELINGS

 1. Love (covers sin).

 Kiddushin- engagement period

Huppah- marriage

2. Love (listens to God).

What does God bring to the table?

1) He brings a different (perspective).

2) He brings His (plan).

3) He brings His (presence).

3. Love (believes God). Love believes and embraces God’s promises and His character and acts upon them even when fulfillment (is not immediate).

4. Love (obeys God).
