It is no surprise that love has been misused and misunderstood by the world. Nor is it a secret that love has been misrepresented by the church. In all honesty, we struggle with the idea of love because our experiences and preferences. We've all been hurt and those wounds make it harder to give and receive love. To some degree we are all selfish and we would rather get than give.
To correct our thinking and to make up the gap between our experiences and the truth, we turn to the Scriptures. The theme is love and we will study from 1 John 4:7 - 12 as we finish our Advent series.
