We say we love our spouse, our kids, fall weather, pizza, and plenty of other things. But with one word carrying so many meanings, how do we know what real love actually is?

Scripture gives us a clearer definition.

In Love Is..., we explore love as a complete commitment rather than simply a feeling, why being real with God helps us become more honest with one another, and what it means to give without keeping score.

First Corinthians 13 also gives us a different way to think about the familiar qualities of love. Before treating patience, kindness, and the rest of the chapter as a checklist of everything we need to do better, we can see them as a picture of the way God already loves us. Love Is… Marriage Sunday 2026

Because the more we experience His love, the better equipped we are to pass it on.

Insights:

  1. Love has to be built on more than feelings.
  2. Before trying harder to love others, learn how God loves you.
  3. Healthy relationships need room for honesty.
  4. Your spouse cannot carry expectations that belong to God.
  5. Ask where your life is missing the evidence of love.
