Love is the root of all we do.
It’s not about how spiritual I am, or how faithful I am, or how sacrificial I am . . .
It’s about how loving i am.
There is no more crucial foundation than Love
So what does love lead us to do?
Well, love leads us to live in relationship with one another as if that relationship is enduring and essential.
It points us to care about the deepest parts of one another.
So what, if everything looks good on the outside, are we strong in our faith?
Are we feeling encouraged and built up?
How are we to get past the surface and speak into the depths of one another’s lives?
This morning we are going to look at a handful of helpful scriptures that should guide us and challenge us.

We are headed for the same front line in the same battle and we are all being attacked.
When is encouragement needed?
When we are awake
