The greatest of these is LOVE – nothing is more important – so how does this play out in your life today?

In your marriage – your pursuit minus LOVE is worthless

In your friendships – your advice minus LOVE is worthless

In your career – your giftedness minus LOVE is worthless

In our community – your Christian identity minus LOVE is damaging

1. The weight of your giftedness is LOVE. Without love, it is an empty pursuit. It’s actually just a bunch of noise. 1 John 4:7-8

2. LOVE is “from” Jesus, not “for” Jesus. You are incapable of agape love apart from Jesus – 1 John 4:10-12
