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.

Here's Pastor Rick with the final part of a message called Love Matters Most.

Now Ephesians says this, the next verse.

Live a life filled with love for others. There it is again.

Following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins.

Now circle the word love and circle the word sacrifice and draw a line between him

because if it isn't a sacrifice, it's not real love.

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.

If it isn't a sacrifice, it isn't real love. Love means giving up.

It means I give up my agenda for your agenda.

It means I give up my time for your time.

It means I give up my preference for your preference.

It means I give up what I'd rather do right now to do what you'd rather do right now.
