The Spoken Word “Let’s Start a Love Train” 1 Corinthians 13 Mr. Vernon Moore Sermon Notes Key Scriptures:   1 Corinthian 13:4-8 — Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 John 4:7-8 — Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. Mark 12:31 — The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these. Colossians 3:14 — And over all these virtues, put on love — which binds them all together in perfect unity. Hebrews 13:1 — Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

Key Questions: 1. How does God use you to show love on a daily basis? 2.When you encounter someone in conflict, with potential of becoming an enemy, how do you maintain love for that person (or persons)? 3.As we view the current events (and issues) of our society, how does God reveal God’s presence of love to you? _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________
