  1. Our Love Revelation 2

  2. Theme Passage: Isaiah 40 31 “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run & not be weary, They shall walk & not faint”

  3. 1) Recharging our Love is More Than Outward Appearances- Rev 2:2-4 2 I know your works, your labor, your patience, & that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles & are not, & have found them liars;

  4. 1) Recharging our Love is More Than Outward Appearances- Rev 2:2-4 3 & you have persevered & have patience, & have labored for My name's sake & have not become weary.

  5. 1) Recharging our Love is More Than Outward Appearances- Rev 2:2-4 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

  6. While we can do many good things, we can do them with love being neither our motivating force nor our desired outcome.

  7. Recharged love is more than talk. I John 3 18 My children, we should love people not only with words & talk, but by our actions & true caring. NCV

  8. Recharged love is more than Christian activity. Matt 15 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: 8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, & honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

  9. Recharged love is more than Christian activity. Matt 15 9 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

  10. Am I going through the motions of loving God and others or do I genuinely feel it?

  11. 2) Recharging our Love Involves a Longing for Intimacy- John 14:22-23 22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us & not to the world?"

  12. 2) Recharging our Love Involves a Longing for Intimacy- John 14:22-23 23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, & we will come to him & make our home with him.”

  13. We cannot have a deep love for God, others or even ourselves while we are at an emotional or spiritual distance.

  14. Matt 22 37 Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, & with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first & great commandment.

  15. God calls us to the deepest love there is—all our heart. We are shaped by what we love, so as we love God deeper our character is transformed into His likeness. Based on quote by Johann van Goethe

  16. Do I long to be closer to God or just wish it was so?

  17. 3) Recharging our Love is Walking New Paths- Eph 5:1-2 1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love…

  18. 3) Recharging our Love is Walking New Paths- Eph 5:1-2 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us & given Himself for us, an offering & a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

  19. Because love is a dynamic, it is not the same from day to day. Recharging our love for God means that we will be willing to express love in new ways with new passion.

  20. Luke 6 32 But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? …

  21. Luke 6 35 But love your enemies, do good, & lend, hoping for nothing in return;…

  22. Luke 6 35 … & your reward will be great, & you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful & evil.

  23. Love always pays a price. Love always costs something. Love is expensive. When you love, benefits accrue to another's account. Love is for you, not for me. Love gives; it doesn't grab. Love is sacrificial action. Dave Simmons, Dad, The Family Coach

  24. How am I demonstrating love for God & others?

  25. Our Love Revelation 2
