The Love You Can't Fake
This Sunday, we’re continuing our What Only God Can Do series with "The Love You Can’t Fake" — a real kind of love only God can form. In a world full of rom-com love built on feelings, manipulation, and keeping score, we're discovering a love that's patient, strong, and lasting. Join us as we unpack 1 Corinthians 13 and see how God's love transforms us from the inside out. You were made for more than fake love — come find the real thing!

The question we want to ask you, both today and in the coming weeks, is this:
In your life, what are the things that you need, perhaps desperately, that deep down, you know only God can deliver in you, for you, and through you?
Things like:
Intellectual – What God can do for me is renew my mind with His truth, giving me wisdom, discernment, and understanding to navigate life well (Romans 12:2).
Emotional – What God can do for me is bring peace, healing, and joy, freeing me from anxiety and filling my heart with His love (Philippians 4:6-7).
Physical – What God can do for me is strengthen and sustain my body, helping me steward my health as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Spiritual – What God can do for me is draw me closer to Him, deepening my faith and transforming my life through His presence (Micah 6:8).
Marital – What God can do for me is shape my marriage to reflect His love, building unity, faithfulness, and selflessness between my spouse and me (Ephesians 5:25-33).
Parental – What God can do for me is equip me to love, teach, and guide my children in His truth, modeling His grace in my home (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
Social – What God can do for me is cultivate meaningful relationships, teaching me to love and serve others as He has loved me (John 13:34-35).
Financial – What God can do for me is provide for my needs, teach me contentment, and empower me to be generous with what He’s given me (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).
Vocational – What God can do for me is give purpose and excellence in my work, using my gifts to serve others and glorify Him (Colossians 3:23-24).
Avocational – What God can do for me is bring joy and fulfillment through my passions, allowing me to enjoy life while honoring Him (1 Timothy 6:17).
We invite you to prepare for Resurrection Sunday - Easter - with the expectation of Resurrection Power…IN YOUR OWN LIFE! Cards will be available each week for you to ask God in your prayer life, allowing our staff to pray over those requests with you.
But please, remember that this is about your intimate relationship with God when we ask, “What is it that you need that only He can fulfill?"
God encourages you to approach Him with boldness and faith—so don’t hesitate to ask for what you truly need!

Rom-Com Love vs Real Love

What if love isn’t something you fall into, but a foundation you build?
Symptoms of Fake Love
- You’re exhausted from pretending to love
- You only love people who benefit you
- You forgive on the outside, but keep score on the inside

LOVE WITHOUT AGENDA
- Love is patient, kind
- Not jealous, boastful, or arrogant
- Not for show or attention

LOVE IN ACTION, NOT JUST EMOTION
- Love is a verb, not a feeling
- Keeps no record of wrongs
- Doesn’t blow up in anger
God’s love isn’t soft — it’s strong. It chooses sacrifice over comfort and action over apathy.

LOVE THAT LASTS
- Talents fade. Love endures.
- Faith will become sight, hope will be fulfilled — but love remains
You’ll be remembered for how you loved — not what you owned.
People won’t remember your inbox — they’ll remember how you made them feel
