How would you like to simplify your life and at the same time experience more love than you ever thought possible? Join Chip as he shares a time-tested method for loving more by doing less.

In a fallen world, our failures are often an attempt to obtain “good things” in a bad way.

  • Seeking belonging leads to division.
  • Seeking connection results in destructive relationships.
  • Seeking security fuels greed.Seeking holiness can cause disunity.
  • Seeking pleasure can harm others' faith.
  • Summary: So many times our gravest failures are our attempts to “look for love in all the wrong places.

”Learning to love in “Real Time”

  1. Responding to Hurts:Truth: Love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4a).Practice: When hurt, love absorbs the blow and responds with kindness.
  2. Responding to Differences:Truth: Love does not envy or boast... (1 Corinthians 13:4b-5).Practice: Celebrate differences and refuse to compare (1 Corinthians 12:12-31).
  3. Responding to Failure:Truth: Love doesn't delight in evil but rejoices with truth. (1 Corinthians 13:6-8a).Practice: Love responds to failure with truth and grace by: Bearing all things, Believing all things: Hoping all things & Enduring all things

The Result: “LOVE never fails!”

The Application: Serving in Love: Romans 12:9-13
