“Let us be passionate in our love for others. Let us have eyes that see the need around us. Let us follow the great example that we have in Christ, who gave His life as a ransom for many. And as we love others, may the world around us notice and be drawn to our Savior for His honor and glory.”

Icebreaker Question: How do you know if someone loves you? Please share an example.
Passage: 1 Cor. 13:1-8a. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
Key Idea: Love for others is a mark of true faith in Christ.
