  6. A Greater Love Not Eros Nor Philia but Agape!

  7. The word ‘agape’ is rarely found in ancient Greek literature. It appears in Homer ten times. Three times it appears in Euripides…

  8. …but it appears 320 times in the New Testament!

  9. “An intentional response to promote well-being when responding to that which has generated ill-being.”Thomas Jay Oord

  10. Agape Love Seeks Redemption! Focuses on the Beloved!

  11. A Defined Love False Presentations Charismatic

  12. “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Cor. 13:1

  13. A Defined Love False Presentations Learned

  14. “And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Cor. 13:2

  15. A Defined Love False Presentations Sacrificial

  16. “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.” 1 Cor. 13:3

  17. A Defined Love A True Presentation The Opposite of Today’s Narcissism!

  18. “4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own…

  19. …is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

  20. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will…

  21. …vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

  22. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

  23. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide…

  24. …faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love..” 1 Cor. 13:4-13
