SERMON OUTLINE
LABOR OF LOVE: “Love Has Work Clothes”
Main Text: James 2:17 NIV
1. LOVE SHOWS UP
1 John 3:18 NIV
“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
2. LOVE SERVES DOWN
Mark 10:45 NIV
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…”
3. LOVE LEAVES SOMETHING BETTER
Matthew 5:16 NIV
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Key Thought
We don’t just go to church—we go BE the church. Faith works. Love serves. Jesus gets the glory.
Discussion Questions
1. “Love shows up.” What is one practical way you can become more present to the needs of people around you?
2. Read 1 John 3:18. What is the difference between saying we love people and demonstrating that love through our actions?
3. “Love serves down.” How does Jesus’ example in Mark 10:45 challenge our culture’s definition of greatness and leadership?
4. “Love leaves something better.” What could change in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and community if Christians consistently lived out Matthew 5:16?
5.This week, what is one specific action you can take to put on your “work clothes” and allow someone to experience the love of Jesus through you?
