OLD SCHOOL LOVE IN A HIP HOP WORLD - THE SERIES

Includes the following messages

A LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

The Bible has been described by some scholars as a love Letter It is God’s redemptive work portrayed throughout history. In 1^st Corinthians Chapter 13 there are 14 statements that describe real love. 

PEACE & LOVE

The Bible says real love is slow to anger, which mean it endures under pressure and doesn’t fly off the handle. That is a picture of the kind of love that Jesus has for us and that we are to have for one another.

A JEALOUS LOVE

The Bible says that God is a jealous God, but it also states that God is love. These two attributes may seem to be a contradiction, but as Bishop Ulmer explains there is a reason for justifiable jealousy with in the context of real love.

LOVES GREATEST ENEMY

One of loves greatest enemies is found in Proverbs 16:18. “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”  Pride can have a devastating effect on love relationships, it can also prevent us from receiving good counsel.

SELFISHNESS

Every problem in a love relationship ultimately stems from a problem with pride and/or selfishness.  Bishop Ulmer explains how these two human expressions are the greatest enemies of true Godly love.

WHEN LOVE HURTS

As we learn more about the agape love of God found in 1^st Corinthians chapter 13, there comes a point when we are hurt by the ones we love.  But the bible warns us about becoming angry to the point of bitterness.

HOW LOVE LOVES

Jesus said in  John 13:35 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  So that our Christian identity is tied to how we love others.
