Scripture 1 John 3:10-15 Love’s Imperative

What is an imperative? Something that is absolutely necessary and urgent. Think of ways that love could be urgent then read the Scripture,1 John 3:10-15, then read the second Scripture posted below John 17:14

How is Jesus not of this world? What does He mean by not being of this world?

Halloween Party - It is All Hallow's Eve or Halloween a time to pray for the saints and the church. We will have some fun on Monday doing just that. Be prepared for a prayer/cupcake walk and a few small contests. See you there.

1 John 3:10-15 Love’s Imperative

10 This is how God’s children—and the Devil’s children—are made evident.
The Command to Love

Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother.(A) 11 For this is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another, 12 unlike Cain,(B) who was of the evil one(C) and murdered[a] his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates(D) you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.(E) 15 Everyone who hates his brother(F) is a murderer,(G) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

Word: Ransom

Mark 10:35-45

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

³⁵ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said, “Teacher, we want You to do something for us if we ask You.”
³⁶ “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked them.
³⁷ They answered Him, “Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory.”
³⁸ But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup I drink or to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”
³⁹ “We are able,” they told Him.
Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with. ⁴⁰ But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to give; instead, it is for those it has been prepared for.” ⁴¹ When the other 10 disciples heard this, they began to be indignant with James and John.
⁴² Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles dominate them, and their men of high positions exercise power over them. ⁴³ But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, ⁴⁴ and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all. ⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life—a ransom for many.”

Parents and Caregivers:

Continue the study by focusing on service this week. Remind children to work and play with care to be the best child of God they can be.
 Colossians 3:12-17
¹² Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, ¹³ accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. ¹⁴ Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. ¹⁵ And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
