Love & the World
Love & the World: The Bible’s Warning Against Misdirected Love
Discover why love stands at the center of the Christian life and why loving the world is a deadly danger. This teaching from 1 John unpacks the essential place of love, the ways love can be misdirected, the new commandment Jesus gave in the upper room, and the vital role love plays in faith, the body of Christ, and daily obedience. Key scriptures from 1 Corinthians, James, Colossians, John, and Romans are examined to show the difference between the world’s system and the life of true biblical love.
Join us in person at 811 W. Main Street in Monroe, WA 98272.
If you are unable to join in person, we will have a live broadcast of our main service at 9:45 AM.
And let us consider one another in stirring up love and proper works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves, just as is the habit of some, but encouraging, and so much more as we see the day approaching (Hebrews chapter 10:24–25).
In a world that often pulls us toward isolation, coming together face-to-face provides encouragement, clarity, and spiritual strength. At Word of Grace Studies, we gather because we value the opportunity to build up one another in truth, to stir up love and proper works, and to grow together in the faith. Whether you can come and fellowship with us or at a local assembly in your area, do not forsake the assembling of the saints, your presence matters—for your benefit and for the encouragement of others.
You’re always welcome to join us and experience the encouragement and connection that come from gathering together.
