Many of us have heard or seen these stories in books, movies, or tv: you grow up, you look and hopefully find a person who will be the love of your life and you'll live together for the rest of your lives. Hopefully, it's happily ever after. Maybe it is. Many times it's not.
Or you meet someone, fall in love, fall out of love, get divorced, and find someone else. You hope for the best. Then again, 75% of couples who have been divorced once, get divorced again. Those numbers aren't that strong for marriage.
Or, you're single, and waiting for that one person who can change your life for the better. Your holding out hope he, or she, is out there. But your hope may be fading quickly.
We've seen and heard many stories about love found, love lost, and love never found. The question arises: do people really ever find TRUE love?
This month, we're teaching a series at Bellwether called "Love, Lies, and Lust - Our Search for a Soul Mate."
If you're looking for love, have lost love, or trying to find someone or something to love, I hope you'll be with us. I hope you'll invite someone who needs to hear this series. It is about love. But it's not anything you can find in our culture or on self-help shows. It's from the Bible, God's truth.
This Sunday we'll talk about the "lies" of love. The "lies" we'll get into are: 1) A person here on earth can fulfill our need for love, and 2) that true love is forever.
Again, instead of looking at lies we can see in our world, we'll look at the truth in God's Word. I hope you can be with us. I hope your heart will be open to The Truth. And most of all, I hope you'll see how much God loves you.
