When I was a child in public school, occasionally before a basketball game we’d get time off from class for an afternoon pep rally. We’d gather in the gymnasium, where four high school girls would jump around with pompoms yelling, “Gimme a G” “G!” and we’d spell out the name of the little North Dakota […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-the-biggest-adventist-pep-rally/

You do not have to force everything into place today. The Sabbath invites you to stop trying to control everything and to remember that God wants you to rest from your heavy burdens. Submit yourself to Him and trust in His loving care. #HappySabbath #AWR360 #SabbathRest #TrustGod #CreatorGod Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-3mytGnn-SI

1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Matthew 24:12; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Timothy 1:14; 1 John 4:8.
Memory Text:
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV).
Love can conquer all. That’s why Paul had so much to say about it. The word family of agapaō—the most common Greek word in the New Testament to express the concept of love—occurs more than 135 times in his letters. This represents almost half of all occurrences in the New Testament. This should tell us something about the central theme of Paul’s letters to the Corinthian church.
There are many remarkable passages about love in the New Testament—Romans 8:35-39, 1 Corinthians 2:9, 1 Corinthians 8:3, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 1:13, 1 Thessalonians 3:12, and more—but nothing compares to 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.
Last week, we saw that without love, all things, even spiritual gifts, are worthless. This week, we will look more deeply into 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 and its marvelous portrait of love.
As we will see, love is not so much an emotion as an attitude, an attitude that must be expressed in life, in deeds, and in words; otherwise, it means nothing.
What love really is, and does, has been fully revealed in the life of Jesus.
