LOVE DOES - Actively Serving PASTOR ALAN LATTA

The outward expression of true love will always lead to service in one form or more and Christlike love will always lead to ministry that points to the love of God. Therefore it can be said that genuine ministry is letting God's love find its destination.

From the birthing of the very first local church on the Day of Pentecost, sharing has been a manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Jesus' Followers; to the point that no one in the congregation has any real - spiritual or material - needs for long.

True love always cares for someone else and in so doing practises five very important things; which are community, action, risking, empathy, and selflessness.

Love builds us up for higher purposes than our own. In this simple message, the hearers are challenged to express their love by serving through their God-given capacities.

In this sermon, you will learn that love wills to work for what is loved and if love does lead to work, it is not real love.
True love - that leads to work - always leads to winning.

From the well-known Parable of the Good Samaritan, the truth about loving - those who need it the most - is shared in this sermon concerning our hurting for the hurting; to the point of helping and healing them through the selfless giving of ourselves.
