I'm

A

A Good morning, good morning, church. So good good morning, church. So good good

good to be in the house together. I was ready to get my leg warmers on when that track

started playing. We had a little 80s vibe going on as we are in the loveology series.

And I get to be in week two of loveology. Last week, Pastor Mark did an excellent job of

helping us all understand that God is the definition of love. And so therefore, we have to receive the love

before we can even begin to understand

how to give away that love.

And there was a beautiful moment as God's spirit moved,

and I know many of you were helped

to understand the receiving of God's love in increased measure.

And I think all of us last week were yesing and amening the message I know I was,

but then we come to week two.

And I get the one where maybe you won't be yesing and amending more than your elbowing

and shaking your head at someone nearby you.

Because I get to talk to us about how we live that love out in our relationships.

If God is love, we have to understand that we therefore have to learn how to live that love

out. And before you get your scorecard out, before you start

become the judge and jury of how well or how badly someone is doing when it comes to expressing

love in your life, let me just share a little story that happened to me a couple of months ago.

We are in our new home in Alabama.
