Opening Song: Holy Love by Brian Eichelberger and Zach BolenLyrics:Love is patient love is kindLove is celebrating joy in every lifeLove protects love relievesLove is persevering in each other's needsOn and on on and onWe are living in Your loveOn and on on and onLove is written in our bloodHoly love holy loveLove admits I was wrongLove is waiting with the weight of what we've doneLove forgives when it's timeGiving strength to say the words we cannot findLove receives love respondsLove believes that we are more than what we've doneLove commits to the lightLove is running from the darkness into lifePassage: For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy,[d] drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do[e] such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.(Galatians Musical Reflection: Jesus Loves Me by William B. BradburyReflection Notes: This sweet and familiar song was written in 1861 for the composer’s church school and has become a favorite because of the warm reminders associated with its text: “Jesus loves me, this I know.” Prayer:O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and on earth: Put away from us all hurtful things, and give us those things that are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
