Love Each Other (again): The Interpersonal Rev01ution

KEY VERSES: Romans 12:9-10 (NLT) 9  Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10  Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

Romans 12:9-10 (ESV) 9  Let love [agape] be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10  Love [philostorgos] one another with brotherly affection [philadelphia]. Outdo one another in showing honor.  

BIG IDEA: In order to learn to love, we need to bond to each other.
