Can we LOVE like this?

Peter writes to a persecuted, harassed group of believers. In the letter of First Peter we’ve been looking at during our series, Peter is pointing to the hope we have in Jesus, but he’s also challenging us to BE the church.

To BE the church we’ve got to LOVE like this:

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:8-11 NIV)
