Do we ever question what love really means?
If one checks out The American Heritage Dictionary and read through all 10 variations, including a., b., c. , it is no wonder we have a problem with the word. But let's go to 8. a., where we read “God's benevolence and mercy toward man. b. Man's devotion to or adoration of God, c. The feeling or benevolence, kindness, or brotherhood toward others.”
Now we can understand what John is telling us. It is written that John was a successful business man of means as one of five in a fishing business with the business being in Capernaum and a home in Jerusalem.
There is much more to the story, but we need to move on to the fact that when Jesus called, John left his business to be with Jesus continually. Only in this way could John have written the Gospel documenting the Love of Jesus.
So in our scripture today we find the explanation of “Love and be loved.” The words of Jesus show us the way.

Why does one attend a Sunday Service? To find peace of mind, to rest from the responsibilities of the week, to seek truth, to pray for oneself and for others, to meet with friends? Probably “yes” to all. But maybe most of all, to talk with God in his house.
This Sunday we will be reading Acts 4:5-12 and John 3:16-24 noting "Salvation Comes."
Salvation in the name of Jesus Christ doesn’t always look the way we wish it did. The good news is that the power of Jesus Christ is with us. His spirit, the body of Christ, resides in us. His spirit gives us not just power to heal, but to be transformed by the power of love when we proclaim his name and love one another as he loved us.
For one reason or another, you may have been away from church for some time, but what a wonderful time to reunite. We especially invite you to return in faith to one of our churches to talk to God about your needs and praise God.
