uhm so basically what I got from the sermon was that
we dont have to like someone to love them.
and adding on "to love is to show commitment"
can relate the previous statement to:
"to love is to care" which i find really relieving.

personally, i think it's easier to care for people than to like them.
and seeing as to love is to care and do something for others,
this sermon took alot of weight off my mind.

Alright, quickly so I can get back to my university preparing LOL,
I learned today that:
- Liking and loving are very different.
- You don't have to like to love.
- You should love everyone.
- God wants you to show agape love!

okay, toodleloo, munchkins! LOL

ok so what i got out of todays sermon was that there is a difference between liking someone and loving. also pastor mark really talked about how loving someone isnt easy but we should sacrifice to show that we truly love them. this sermon really connects to my personal life with my friends at church and school, so it made me question myself about how i treat my friends. it made me really think about the new grade 7s and how i should treat them. the sermon really helped me learn a lot to try to be a better person/friend.

Alrightt

Today's sermon hit me like a brick. Loving someone isn't about THEM making sacrifices, it's about US making the sacrifice for them. You guys already brought up the liking and loving part about I wanna elaborate on something different. Loving someone means giving and not taking. Now to me, that makes complete sense, because if it's a mutual relationship, you give just as much as you take because if the other person loves you, he/she will do the same. It doesn't necessarily have to do with boyfriend girlfriend relationships but just about anyone you want to show your love to. Yeah, that'[s the part I liked best

Peace out hombres

who was the speaker today?

TOdays sermon cleared some stuff in ma head. I always thought that loving was the more "deeper" version of the word like. So i always thought that the word love was relationship meaning and like was just like i like your shoes. i like you thingy.
As well i learned that we should take the initiative to love one another now.
Our speaker was Pastor MArk

Hey guys! Today, I kinda slept through some parts of the sermon, but the message was clear. Loving has nothing or little to do with liking someone. As much as a getting love feels great, it's not something we give expecting to get some back. Love is about the personal sacrifices, our hardships, our battles, we go through to care for someone. It's really about how much commitment and how much we would give up that shows our love. Unconditional love is something that is hard to give, but we should always try to reach out and give it to those around us. that's what I got. Good night!

Grace = Fail.........

Well one thing that stood out to me is The sacrificial love "Agape" I'm pretty sure that's it... Along with Philo and Eros
but this one was talking about how love is not about us, its what we are wiling to do for others because we love them...
For me, being the selfish person that I am, it's difficult for me to sacrifice for others. SO actually I took my friend's shift
at work because he had his first season of Hockey, So I said you know what?? I'll take it... LOL and I realized that when
I do something for others, I expect something back from them which honestly shouldnt be the way to think... Think about
it this way, If you have your hopes up, you have a chance of being disappointed while if you don't expect anything back,
you have a chance of being surprised. LOL That's all lol
