I. A home of love is a home led by people who have been taken from darkness to light.
II. A home of love is characterized by loving like Jesus demonstrates.
This is the love we see when Jesus was faced with woman caught in adultery,
when Jesus cast out demons,
when he taught this new way of living in the sermon on the mount, when he reproached the “unrepenting cities” by saying woe to you (Matthew 11),
When he speaks to the pharisees of the unpardonable sin of rejection of Jesus (12),
when he gently tells Peter to not be afraid when he walks on water,
and also when he told the disciples they had little faith.
III. A home of love rejects all forms of hate, active and passive.
1 John 2:9, 11
IV, A home of love encourages confidence in Jesus.
