Love or Hate

Apr 12, 2026  •  Matt Hodges

1. LOVE EXPOSES HATE. (1 John 3:11-13; Gen. 4:3-5)

* Do you spend time running down other believers?


2. OUR HEART EXPOSES WHO WE FOLLOW. (1 John 3:14-15; John 8:43-44)

* Are you loving your brother and sisters?

* Satan is a murderer (John 8:43-44). Later, in 1 John 3:15, John uses the same Greek word for murderer to describe those who hate their brother or sister.


3. OUR LOVE IS EXPOSED THROUGH OUR ACTION. (1 John 3:16-18)

* Are you willing to sacrifice for one another?

* Are you praying for one another and then helping how you can?
