SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR THIS SERMON:
John 15:12-17
15:12 My commandment is this—to love one another just as I have loved you.
13 No one has greater love than this—that one lays down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
15 I no longer call you slaves because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
17 This I command you—to love one another.
