Greek Words for Love infoGraph ------------New Christians need to understand that some people show out to show off. Some folks get through it because enduring is the only option. Some individuals make weakness worse by diminishing others. Some people are capable of handling stressful situations and circumstances better than others. So when Paul says that love bears all things, he is an example of handling anything. Love is not naive, but powerful enough to defend itself privately instead of demonstrating publicly. After today's teaching you just might see love bears all things..in a different light…I SURE DID!

New Christians need to understand that what makes someone grin when no one else is around is a good sign of what they care about. In our culture, people laugh at failure, celebrate when someone falls, and think that exposing someone is "justice." But Paul's comments are troubling because they say that love doesn't boast in wrongdoing but in the truth. Agape love doesn't celebrate the things that hurt people; it celebrates the things that bring them back together. Today Rodney will be outlining a confronting question that will be very challenging: "What does my heart quietly applaud?"

New Christians need to understand that some people don't let their fury out; they store it. They recall what was said. They recall how it sounded. They remember when they were wronged. Paul states, Love KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. How I have memorized this attribute, "Love doesn't consider a wrong suffered." Anger that isn't let out doesn't go away…it becomes a ledger. And today, we're dealing with the kind of love that doesn't keep track of things...even when it hurts. Then we will discover the secret power to stop keeping a score card.

New Christians need to understand most of the rage we feel is not about righteousness. It is about interruption. We become enraged when our plans are delayed, our expectations are not met, our control is challenged, or our comfort is jeopardized. So, when Paul says, "Love is not provoked," there is an emotional mismatch. The concept of "love that does not seek its own" pertains to my desires, whereas "love that is not provoked" pertains to my reactions when I do not receive them. In this video we will continue the journey of Agape Love from self-seeking to being provoked. Then I will be sharing the only power that will enable us to master it.

New Christians must understand Christian consumerism is a culture that knows how to use Jesus. A lot of people follow Him as long as He meets their wants, blesses their plans, and doesn't cost too much. That's why the American Gospel sublimely says, "Give to get." But the Biblical Gospel soundly teaches “Get to give.” When Paul says something even more disturbing: "Love does not seek its own" that means love doesn't question, "What do I get out of this?" It asks, "What can I give, even if it costs me?" Today, we will learn the distinction between merely being an American Christian or a Biblical Disciple of Christ. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE!

New Christians need to understand that some of the worst wounds in the church weren't caused by lies; they were caused by the truth being told without love. Paul states, "Love is not rude." But we've learned how to insult people in Jesus' name, disgrace them in the name of honesty, and destroy them while calling it conviction. Being rude doesn't always mean being loud. It may sound serene, right, and spiritually strong at the moment but love never hurts someone's pride to make a point. Today, we're going to dissolve the discourse that wins arguments but loses souls. Watch and learn the sixth attribute to Agape Love...NOT RUDE

New Christians need to understand we live in a society where people are obsessed with getting attention. If we look only to social media we see, carefully crafted images for others to look at. Thoughts and phrases to garner attention and gather followers. But Paul responds, "Love does not brag. "Why? Humans brag when self- doubt whispers they don’t matter.When you brag, you are insecurity with a microphone. Agapē doesn't need others to clap. It doesn't have to be seen. It doesn't need to be celebrated.And today we are going to be looking at why Love DOES NOT BRAG
