Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it
keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about
injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never
gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures
through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Can you imagine being loved like this? It would change your life.
The truth is this is an accurate description of God’s love for you.
Happy Sabbath God’s wonderful people! Happy Sabbath! We
praise God for this blessed Sabbath that once again we are
gathered here to worship Him and sing praises to Him.
To our visitors, friends and church members. I welcome you all to
our special musical program this Sabbath morning sponsored by
the JAC Music Ministries Department. Today, we celebrate His
love, God’s PERFECT LOVE.
This morning, we will be listening to series of songs that talk
about God’s love to His people.
With this, may all of us be blessed, be inspired by the songs of
love.
ENTRANCE OF PARTICIPANTS
To commence, I am requesting everyone to please stand for the
opening prayer to be offered to God by ________________.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
God absolutely loves you. It’s hard to get our minds around, but it
is true. This is where the faith journey starts: understanding that
God loves you. If you do not have an assurance of God’s love,
your faith journey will not last long. Fortunately, reading the Bible
can help to strengthen your faith in God's love. There is no force
more powerful than the love our heavenly Father has for us, His
children. His love can move mountains, stop the roaring seas,
heal broken bones and wounded hearts, transform lives, and set
free those held captive by sin and shame. So great is his love for
you and me that he sent his only Son to die that we might live
through him.
What better way to start this musical Sabbath, than singing a
song that talks about giving Him the glory, honor and praises!
Lord, how can I say thanks? For the things you have done for me.
Things so undeserved, yet you give, to prove your love for me.
Here’s Churchill Apelo to sing, My Tribute
++++++++++++++++++++++++
To God be the glory! For the things He has done.
God’s love is too great to fully understand.
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people
should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is.
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to
understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the
fullness of life and power that comes from God. (Ephesians
3:18-19)
God’s love is so great that we, as mere humans, cannot fully
understand it. Humans’ love for one another often depends at
least partly on the behavior of the person being loved. God’s love
for us does not.
Do you long to be known and loved for who you are? God is the
only one who can truly do that.
With all my heart, I want to love you Lord!
All that is in me, is yours completely. I’ll serve you only, with all
my heart.
Let’s listen to a duet by Blesi Mae Penalosa and Audrea Venice
Totica.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
God will not let you down because His love cannot fail. That’s the
love of God.
Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your
faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like
the mighty mountains, Your justice like the ocean depths. You care
for people and animals alike, O LORD. How precious is Your
unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of
Your wings. (Psalm 36:5-7)
You have probably been hurt or betrayed by someone you love at
some point in your life. Maybe you have experienced this more
than once. Loving and trusting other people is risky. Once one
person hurts you, it becomes harder to open up to others.
In contrast, God’s love is truly unconditional. He never fails you or
betrays you. You do not need to hold back in your relationship
with God, because He is totally trustworthy.
When you feel let down by people, read these verses and
remember this: Though people may let you down, God never will.
That’s the Love of God.
Here are our AIMS Teachers, and they will be singing, That’s the
love of God.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
BREAK-(SAY GOD LOVES YOU)
John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal
life.
God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only
Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.
This is real love — not that we loved God, but that He loved us
and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends,
since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in
us, and His love is brought to full expression in us.” (1 John 4:9-
12)
He left the splendor of heaven to lay down His life for me. If that
isn’t love.
Let us listen to Evan Joey Demayo as he sings, If that isn’t love.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you believe that God loves you, how does it influence the way
you live? Do you believe your Father, who loves you dearly, is the
most powerful force in the universe? What would look different in
your life if you lived in light of this truth?
Jeremiah 31:3 - The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have
loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my
faithfulness to you.
When you begin a relationship with God, you don’t just become
God’s friend, you become His child. God delights in you and wants
the best for you. He wants to fill your life with joy and blessings.
Oh! How I love living in love with Jesus.
Let’s listen to Bryzelle Aiko, Shalamar Xyza, Jovimae Kate and
Julienne Ysabelle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
JANEY:
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how
dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill
our hearts with His love. (Romans 5:5)
Have you ever had someone in your life you loved so much that
you wanted to be with them all the time? God feels that way
about you. Not only does God love you and want a relationship
with you, but He wants to be present in every moment of your
life.
When you begin a relationship with God, the Holy Spirit comes
into your life. He is with you through the good and the bad. You
can choose to ignore the Holy Spirit’s influence, but He will never
leave you. He is always waiting for you to turn back and seek His
comfort, wisdom and guidance.
The Holy Spirit can help you experience and have a deeper
understanding of God’s love for you. His presence in your life
means you are never on your own.
His love will carry you.
His love will deliver you.
His love is deep. His love is wide.
To sing, The Great Divide, here’s Charles Rainier Apelo.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
JANEY:
When things are hard, it can be easy to feel alone or like no one
cares. But God cares. He cares about your sadness and hardships.
He cares about your suffering. Why? Because God loves you.
Even when things seem hopeless, you can still hope in God. God
does not promise He will fix our problems in the immediate sense.
We will experience pain and suffering and sorrow. But He does
promise that one day, everyone who has a relationship with Him
will spend eternity in His presence, where suffering and sorrow
will be gone forever.
But God is not just telling us, “It will get better later,” and leaving
it at that. God hurts when you hurt because He loves you. He is
always there to comfort you with His unfailing love as you bring
your struggles to Him.
Lord, write Thy name upon my heart.
Let us listen to Raznyl Cezar Cordero.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control. There is no law against these things! (Galatians
5:22-23)
God’s love should not stop with Him loving you, it should overflow
into the lives of the people around you. This is the natural result
of constantly experiencing God’s loving presence in the form of
the Holy Spirit.
When you allow God’s love to grow in you, it will be like a plant
that produces fruit. One of the fruits of God’s love is your
increasing inclination and ability to love others. His Spirit also
allows you to love with a love greater than you could have on
your own.
Don’t keep the love of God to yourself; allow Him to use you to
show His love to others.
He is the author of love. He is the love of my life.
Let us listen to Janeazon Corrine Lavadia.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
God’s love overflows. And I hope that you felt it as you were
listening to the songs.
1 John 4:16 - So we have come to know and to believe the love
that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love
abides in God, and God abides in him.
And that ends the first part of our program.
We will now proceed to our lesson review.

No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in

Loving each other gives people a glimpse of God because God is
love. It can be difficult for people to understand God, but by
loving others in His name, they experience a taste of His love,
God’s PERFECT LOVE.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean
He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are
persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened
with death? ... No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory
is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that
nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor
life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor
our worries about tomorrow — not even the powers of hell can
separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the
earth below — indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to
separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus
our Lord. (Romans 8:35, 37-39)
God is more powerful than anything in heaven or on earth. When
you accept Jesus’ invitation to begin a relationship with God, you
are secure in His love forever. There is nothing powerful enough to
separate you from God’s love. Even when things are difficult or
you feel far from God, it’s not because God stops loving you. The
truth is that God will never stop loving you, no matter what you
do.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Romans 5:8 - But God shows his love for us in that while we
were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Even if you are in the midst of a difficult time or are grieving a
great loss, there is still reason for hope. Everything around you
may feel like it’s falling apart. Everything inside of you may feel
like it’s falling apart. But God’s love and mercy will never fail you.
Ask God to give you hope because of His never-ending love. Ask
Him to fill you with His peace that is more powerful than all of the
hard things in your life. Every day is a new opportunity to receive
God’s mercy and love.
I hope we were blessed by the messages in songs that we have
listened to this morning,
I would like to thank all our participants this morning.
Our Sabbath school superintendent in-charge for today, Maam
Jocelyn Cordero, our media team and those who came to church
early to experience God’s wondrous love, God’s perfect love.
Once again, good morning everyone and Happy Sabbath,
