Time Well Spent

May 1, 2022 • Rusty Coram • 1 John 4:19–21, Luke 10:38–42

Some of us feel the most loved when we’re given undivided time and attention from others. To them, it shows our dedication and where our priorities lie. People with the love language of Quality Time don’t require gifts to feel loved – they just need you!

Introduction

John 15:13

Love. It’s a word that we hear a lot. Often, it’s a simple expression of sentiment toward someone or something. Other times “love” is a statement of devotion and commitment to the needs of someone else. This is the highest form of love and is what makes relationships strong, resilient and genuinely fulfilling. Expressing love is not mechanical or one-size-fits-all. Instead, it requires understanding how others are wired to receive it. In this series, we’ll use God’s example of loving us as a model for how we can effectively love each other. It begins with the greatest single act of love in all of history.

Love Speaks Louder

The greatest single act of love in all of history happened on what we call Easter weekend. God entered the chaos caused by hatred, power-grabbing, self-centeredness, and fear to accomplish what seemed impossible. His love spoke louder and more clearly than all the noise. In the end, love won. Jesus won.

Use Your Words

There are many ways to show we love each other. It’s actually quite simple for people with the love language of Words of Affirmation. To love them well, we simply need to pay attention to what’s going on in their lives and offer unsolicited compliments or words of encouragement.
