About this sermon

Just as people grow and their lives change, we have to adapt our love to those changes, and our love has to mature and grow. This is so important that the apostle Paul prayed for the Philippian church: “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight” (Philippians 1:9 NIV). It wasn’t that the church was deficient in love, but Paul was saying, “Your love has so much potential to go so much further and build a greater foundation in your lives. Agree with me every day as I pray for you that your love will reach its fullest.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You may be seated on. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:37.160 Encourage you today with a scripture that Paul prayed. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.280 Over the Philippian Church. 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.039 And I think this is a great scripture that we 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:45.680 should pray each and every day. It's found in Philippians One. 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.520 He prayed this, He said, I pray that your love 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:56.680 would abound in knowledge and depth of insight. His prayer 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.720 to the Philippian Church was this, I want you to 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:00.680 agree with me. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.880 That's why I'm sending you this letter. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.960 That your love would grow, increase, multiply. 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:09.880 Now, let me tell you something. 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.080 He wasn't writing this letter to them because he had 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.000 noticed in his visits that they weren't people of love. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.240 Historically, they were people who loved. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.400 But he was saying to them, this is such an 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.720 important prayer because your love has so much potential to 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.440 go so much further and build such a greater foundation 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.880 in your life. He was saying, agree every day with me, 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.640 as I pray for you that your love will reach 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:42.839 its fullest. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:43.760 You see. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.280 That's what we need to pray every single day. God, 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.880 would your love abound in me more and more in 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:55.640 depth and insight and knowledge and wisdom. You see, we 0:02:55.800 --> 0:03:01.280 have to learn to love well because the way we love, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.320 how we show our love, the mercy we give, the 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.640 grace we extend. You see, it's a direct impact on 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.919 our own life. The way we love has a direct 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:20.240 impact on our own life. We need to learn to 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.440 love well. We can't just put our love on autopilots. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.320 We can't just push it on cruise control. Let's just 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.400 say that because we all have a cruise control on 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:34.840 our car, we set the speed and go. We can't 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.400 just set the speed and allow it to say, stay 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.640 the same all the time in every situation. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.360 We have got to understand. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.400 That our love has to mature, it has to develop, 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.840 and it has to grow. And in order for it 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.080 to do that, we have to make a commitment to love. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.480 Because it's all about commitment, focus and determination. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.400 I mean, why do you pray. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.640 You pray because you want something to change, you're committed 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.560 to it. You pray because you know God has your 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.320 answer and that if you'll give it to him, he'll 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.000 help you. So we can't just set our love once 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.080 and keep it set at that same speed. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:17.800 You know. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.760 I heard this woman. I heard a story about this 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.760 woman who was talking to her husband and she said 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.760 to him, honey, do you really love me? And he 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.560 looked at her so strangely, and he said, why would 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.320 you ask me that question? He said, I told you 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.520 twenty five years ago when I married you that I 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.719 loved you, and if it changes, i'll let you know. 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.520 You see, that man had one speed. He didn't understand 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.640 that love grows. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.280 You see. It's interesting because. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:55.960 As people we evolve, we grow, we change, our situations, change, 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.080 things in our life change. So we have to be 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:05.560 willing to adapt our love to that change. We cannot 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.960 just let it stay the same. I think about my 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.200 children when they were small. I'd scoop them up anytime 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.839 I wanted to. They could be walking across the floor 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.760 and I want to grab them and show them my love. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.159 I just scoop them right up, tickle their little bellies, 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.680 you know, just cuddle with them, poke little food in 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.640 their mouth, you know, all those things you do to 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:32.240 babies and they can't do anything about it. It's so 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.640 fun and you're showing your affection, You're showing your love, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.000 and you're showing your joy. But now my children are grown. 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.920 I can't cuddle them, poke food in their mouth, tickle 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.680 their bellies. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:47.920 No, they're adults. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.240 I have to understand my love has to adapt and 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.159 grow to who they are. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.520 If I want to grow with them, I'm. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.599 Going to have to make some changes. Yes, I always 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.719 say stay babies forever. Yes, I wish I could show 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.760 them the same love. I would love to say, just 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.440 put that on cruise control and let it happen. But 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:16.799 life changes, we change, we evolve, and our love must 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:21.440 be willing to evolve. I study my children now. I 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.000 let them have an opinion. I adapt to their abilities. 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.720 I try to find ways to communicate with them in 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.040 a better way, a way that will enrich our lives 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.719 and our relationship. I want insight to who they are 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.359 and what I can do to serve them well with 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:44.000 my love. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:51.719 You see, you adapt. Love is smart, That's what Paul 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:52.360 was saying. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.840 He said, I pray that your love would grow and 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.919 abound in knowledge and depth of insight. Your love should 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.839 of wisdom. Your love should see beyond the superficial. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.400 It should see beyond what's happening right now. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:14.240 Our love should not be limited to the love we're receiving. 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.920 We can't just set a standard. If you give me love, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.440 I'll give you love. That's not building that foundation that 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.480 God wants to build in us. Can I tell you 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.200 when we decide we're going to be the person that 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.560 comes up higher, we're gonna be the person that loves 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.200 in spite of how someone is showing us love. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.600 It does something to the inside of you. It strengthens 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.320 your resolve, It causes you. 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.600 To be able to be better. And you know what, 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.680 how many of you want to get better in here? 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.280 I know I do. 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.200 I long to get better. We gotta be smart with 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.120 our love. We can't be reckless and careless. Can I 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.280 tell you something. Love doesn't wait for things to happen. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.040 Love doesn't just hang around waiting. 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.880 Love makes stuff happen. 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:15.560 Love bills relationships, Love serves, Love gives. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.720 Love just doesn't give what it wants to give. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.840 Love is willing to look into a situation and give 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.320 what the situation is in need of. 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.080 Love is smart. I want that. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.520 I want to get up every morning and agree with Paul. 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.520 I'm agreeing with that prayer. Anytime you see a prayer 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.920 in the Bible. Like Paul said, he said, I'm writing 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:45.559 to you because I am praying this for you. Basically, 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:50.040 find those things in the Bible, get in contact with them, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.960 get an agreement with them, pray them over yourself. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:58.040 They have so much truth. The way we show love, 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.800 it's going to impact our life. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.880 It's thirty years Joel and I have been studying each 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.440 other and adapting to one another. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.280 We've made love happen. We haven't waited for it to happen. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:15.120 You know, love it's a feeling, but love is also 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:15.920 an action. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:21.680 That feeling can either grow or that feeling can fizzle out. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.480 I want my love to grow into a bound I 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.200 want it to produce because that's what love does, That's 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.640 what God love does. It produces good fruit in your life. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.760 Can I tell you something? You will eat of the 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.680 fruit that you produce. You're not gonna be able to 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.240 eat fruit that you don't produce. You can eat only 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.280 from the fruit that you produce, just like you can't 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:54.120 drink out of an empty glass. You know, some of 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.200 you are saying to me, Victoria, I have loved and 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.000 loved and loved and I'm not getting loved back. Then 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.440 I have to tell you something. You're drinking from an 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.160 empty glass. And the reason I can say that is, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:12.840 in reality, the only way that we can love is 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.560 to allow the love of God in us first. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.360 That is the only way that we can love. 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:27.200 We don't have the potential in our human ability alone 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.559 to love. We may be able to try to love, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.760 but we don't have the capacity to love on our own. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.679 In fact, Jesus told the Pharisees this in Matthew twenty two. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.880 They said, Jesus, what's the greatest command in the Law 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.880 of Moses? And he said, the greatest and first command 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.960 the command that you should keep the most the one 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.240 that is the most important is this, Love the Lord 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.640 your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:03.000 and with all of your s. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.320 See, they wanted to keep the law. 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.520 They thought if they could keep the law, they would 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.200 be right with God. And Jesus was saying this. He 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.600 was saying, you can't keep the law by yourself. You 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.560 can't do it by yourself. You need a savior. That's 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.720 why I'm here to keep the continual. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.880 Flow of love. Coming. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:28.839 Listen, when my love tanks low, I'm trying to drink 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.360 out of an empty glass. There is a source of 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:37.199 love that never runs dry. And it's the Lord Jesus Christ. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:38.920 It's God, the Father. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.040 He is love. The Bible says he is love. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.720 When you come to him, you are coming to love. 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.120 I think about the woman at the well. There's a 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.120 story in the Bible, and Jesus met this woman at 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:57.120 the well as Samaritan woman, and he was talking to her. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.119 She was coming to fill. 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.520 Her jug up of water so she would have sufficient 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.520 water for the day. And he told her something very insightful. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:12.080 He says, you drink water that will go away. You 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.200 will thirst again with the water that you drink. He 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:19.960 was saying, what you have will not last. But he says, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:24.360 if you receive what I have, I have water that 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.480 will cause you to never be thirsty again. I have 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:32.840 a flow of living water, of living love. 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.800 That will fill you up. 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.600 That's the only way this love that Paul is talking 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:42.960 about can abound. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:44.000 You. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.319 See, if you want good relationships, if you want your 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.600 life impacted, you got to come to God. You gotta 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.320 let him transform you. You gotta let that foundation of 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.640 love be built in you. And then as you release 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.360 that love. It will be a flow of love that'll 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:07.360 strengthen you and it'll continue. It's interesting because the Pharisees 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.839 just asking what the first commandment was, but he went 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.040 ahead and told them what the second one was. And 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.040 he said, let me tell you what the second one is. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.199 And it's the same as the first. Love your neighbor 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.240 as yourself. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:23.679 What he was. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.480 Saying, If you get the first part of the equation right, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:27.760 the second part. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.760 Of the equation will come much easier. Do you want 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.280 to agree with me as I agree with Paul, that. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:39.960 This love of God would just abound, abound, abound. It 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.440 wouldn't depend on our outer circumstances, but it would depend 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.079 on what's going on in the inside of us, the 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.959 well that we're connected to, the one with living love. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.640 I want to pray for us right now, Father, I 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.240 just thank you, just as Paul prayed. We come into 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.679 agreement with that prayer, that Father, our love would increase 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.840 and abound in knowledge and depth of insight. That God, 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.480 we aren't superficial in our love, but it runs deep, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.480 It has roots, It is full of wisdom and knowledge. 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.600 It adapts and it adjusts, and it brings us good fruit. Father, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.120 I thank you that every day we'll fill our spicot 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.800 with the living love, the living water that causes us 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.600 to be able to abound and to release it to 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.720 the people around us. Father, we thank you that you 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:38.080 are love and that you love us with an everlasting love. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.360 Father. At the end of the day. 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.440 We believe, as long as we're connected to you, we 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.120 can do the impossible love. Even when love's not being 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:51.120 shown to us. We can build Father, our love in 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.280 you and abound in every good word.
