This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today, Pastor Rick continues in a series called 40 Days of Love.

In these lessons, Rick looks into the Bible to help you better understand God's great love for you

and to empower you to love others the way Jesus does.

But first, in just a bit, we'll tell you how to get Pastor Rick's 40 Days of Love Bible study

with six video sessions and workbook.

It's perfect for individual studying and also great to do with a small group of friends.

You can take a sneak peek by going to pastorrick.com while you listen.

Or just text the word hope to 800-600-5,000-4.

That's the word hope to 800-600-5,000-4.

But for God to teach you real love, he's going to put you around some unlovely people.

And this morning, what I want us to look at here is what I call special cases.
