7 Love agreements, Love the Church – Jesus did

Pray that we will be like Christ and love the church Eph (5v25) by making these 7 love agreements with the church.

“A love agreement depends solely on one heart to make it work”

1. - FAITHFULNESS.

I will be faithful to my church at all times and in all circumstances.

2. - PATIENCE.

I will not try to change things about my church that I do not like but will modify my behaviours that annoy my fellow believers.

3. - FORGIVENESS.

When I have offended others in church, I will quickly ask forgiveness. And I will forgive my church’s offenses in my heart even before being asked.

4. - SERVICE.

I will anticipate my church’s spiritual, emotional, physical, and material needs and will do everything I can to meet them.

5. - RESPECT.

I will not act or speak in a way that demeans, ridicules, or embarrasses my church.

6. - KINDNESS.

I will be kind to my church, eliminating any trace of meanness from my behaviour and speech.

7. - CELEBRATION.

I will appreciate my church’s gifts and attributes and celebrate them personally and publicly.
