Restoring Real Love (3 of 5)
Series: Fully Restored

1 Corinthians 13:13
''And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.''
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
Four Greek Words for Love
- storge: a natural feeling of affection for family and close friends.
- eros: a love of physical passion that is based on feelings that can change. It's a conditional love focused on receiving.
- phileo: a love that involves giving and receiving because ''our'' happiness becomes more important than just ''my'' happiness. It involves each person giving 50%, but it can still collapse in a crisis.

build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do
good to those who hear you.'' Ephesians 4:29 (GNT)
- Don't take it out on each other, instead take it to the Lord.
''But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. 'Save me, Lord!' he shouted.'' Matthew 14:30 (NLT)
''Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be wi ...
