Immanuel Southern Baptist Church

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday’s sermon: Love in Action, I John 3:16-18:

• Jesus laid down his life (literally) for us
  • He left the presence of God
  • He abandoned the form of God
  • He suffered and bled and died for us
• We should lay down our lives for others
• Jesus left his comfort zone for us; why can’t we spend 20 minutes doing something nice for someone else?
• If we don’t actually die for someone, we can sacrifice our time or our effort. 
• Practical ways we can do that include:
  • listening
  • speaking truth, speaking encouragement
  • serving others
  • going beyond what is expected of us
• Don’t just TELL someone you love them; SHOW them!
