WEEKLY CHALLENGE
“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but
the greatest of these is love. Pursue love, and
earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you
may prophesy.”
(1Corinthians 13:13-14:1)
Last Sunday, we were brought back into the backdrop of Who God is and what we
as His people are called to be as we walk out our journey with God - Love. As
defined, this love is greater than intimate love, brotherly love, and even family love this love is unconditional love.
Unconditional love is something that we can not produce on our own. We must first
receive that kind of love from God - experience it - before we can pass it on to
others. Paul says this love is greater than both faith and hope. Understanding this
love allows us to walk in faith and have hope for the future - for all eternity.
So, this week’s challenge is to pursue love. Why pursue? Because this kind of love
must be ‘pressed hard after with earnestness and diligence in order to obtain it.’
That’s the definition of the Greek word for pursue. Agape love is not something
that just happens or comes along naturally. It is a kind of love that we must ‘go after
with the desire of obtaining.’
Why go to all the effort, you might ask? Because we are called by God to love Him
and love others with this type of driving, pursuit of love. In doing that, our desires
will move towards building up others and not focusing so much on ourselves. As this
progresses, a healthy community of love will grow resulting in Jesus’ promise, “by
this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

BELIEVE
“Pursue this Love with eagerness, make it your goal, yet earnestly
desire and cultivate the spiritual gifts to be used by Believers for the
benefit of the church, but especially that you may prophesy, to foretell
the future, to speak a new message from God to the people.”
1 Corinthians 14:1 (Amp)
If my heart is a bow, and my thoughts and
words are an arrow, what is my aim, my goal,
my bullseye?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT
CHURCH FOR THE BEACH?
What is our mission? What is our vision?
If you have never attended a Family Info Lunch
in the past, please sign up on the back table
this Sunday. Pastor Jim and Beth would love
to have you and answer any questions you
may have. Last chance to sign-up Sunday!
will be studying the book “Sermon on the
Mount” by Jen Wilkin. (The change in study is
due to the 1 Peter books being backordered)
Join us beginning Thursday, September 22 at
6:30-8:00pm at Calvary Chapel Surfside for
this nine-week study. Join us as we learn
together, “What does it mean to be a citizen of
the kingdom of Heaven?” Matthew's gospel
opens with three chapters containing Jesus'
longest recorded message – a sermon given to
His disciples early in His ministry to articulate
what the life of a Christ-follower would look
like. Please join us as we gather together in
Love and Faith to learn and grow into Christ’s
likeness. Please sign up on the back table this
Sunday, if you are able to attend.
