TITLE:\u00a0 Love’s Priority<\/h2>\n

TEXT:\u00a0 I Corinthians 13: 1-3 (p.959)<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0I.\u00a0\u00a0 UNRAVELING LOVE\u2019S DEFINITION \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0Four different ways Greeks defined what we call \u201clove.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Eros- (sexual<\/span>) love<\/li>\n
  2. Storge- (family<\/span>)<\/li>\n
  3. Philos- (friendship<\/span>) love<\/li>\n
  4. Agape- (unconditional<\/span>) love<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Eros- \u201cI love you (if<\/span>)\u201d<\/p>\n

    Storge- gives a sense of (belonging<\/span>)<\/p>\n

    Philos- \u201cI love you (because<\/span>)\u201d<\/p>\n

    Agape- \u201cI love you (in spite of<\/span>)\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some important truths to remember:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Remember that you are (sinful and selfish<\/span>) and bring that to table of any discussion.<\/li>\n
    2. Realize your sinful and selfish nature needs to be (controlled<\/span>).<\/li>\n
    3. Remember feelings can be (deceptive<\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Three principles we want to see in I Corinthians 13:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Without love our personal communication is (ineffective<\/span>).<\/li>\n
      2. Without love our spiritual understanding is (incomplete<\/span>).<\/li>\n
      3. Without love our sacrificial giving is (insufficient<\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
