My Declaration Of Love

This past Sunday as part of our morning service we made a declaration of love to each other as a church family. It was a very moving time. If you would like a hard copy of this, please let us know.

My Declaration Of Love
As a committed follower of Jesus Christ and having personally experienced and benefited from the Amazing Love & Grace of God, including being forgiven of all my sins….....

I declare today my love for our church family, knowing that I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength. (Philippians 4:13)

As part of this declaration of love:
I refuse to be outwitted by the devils schemes. (2 Corinthians 2:11)

Instead I will walk in God’s love and extend the same grace to my brothers and sisters that Christ has extended to me. (John 13:34)

I understand that love covers a multitude of sins, and so I choose to forgive those who have wronged me, either intentionally or unintentionally. (1 Peter 4:8)

I will not repay evil for evil, or insult with insult, instead I will seek to bless others, even those who have hurt me. (1 Peter 3)

I will not let any unwholesome talk, including gossip come out of my mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs and for their benefit. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will always pray for and seek to protect the unity of our church, including celebrating our uniqueness and diversity. (Psalms 133:1)

I will do my part in helping restore relationships that have been broken. I will practice by my behavior what it means to be a loving and restorative community for those who have fallen.

I will let the peace of Christ rule in my heart by putting on love, since as members of one body I am called to peace. (Colossians 3:14,15)

“There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love. NLT 1 Corinthians 13:13
