LOVE FIRST, LOVED FIRST, FIRST LOVE


MARK 12:28-34                                

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. LOVE FIRST – THE COMMAND [MARK 12:28-34]

 

1. The Direct Contrast [v. 28-31, 1 John 2:15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

 

2. The Deity Command [v. 32-33, Ps. 2: 11-12] Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

 

3. The Dire Consequences [v. 34, Ps. 2: 11-12]

 

II. LOVED FIRST – THE CAUSE [1 JOHN 4:7-19]

 

1. The First Cause [v. 7-10]

 

2. The First Confession [v. 11-18]

 

3. The First Care [v. 19, Rm. 5:8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

 

III. FIRST LOVE – THE CANCER [REV. 2:1-7]

 

1. The Commendation [v. 1-3]

 

2. The Cancer [v. 4]

 

3. The Cure [v. 5-7]
