EXPOSITORY OUTLINE:

1A.  First, CONSIDER THE ACT OF LOVE FOR THE BRETHREN

2A.  Next, CONSIDER THE OBJECTS OF LOVE, THE BRETHREN

3A.  Finally, CONSIDER THE EFFECTS OF LOVE FOR THE BRETHREN

There are five that I want to make mention of before this morning’s sermon:

1B.  First, if you are a Christian you will stand with a brother

2B.  Next, if you are a Christian you will rejoice in a brother’s blessings

3B.  Third, if you are a Christian your love for the brethren will be seen by your opposition to wickedness

4B.  Fourth, if you are a Christian you will give of yourself for another brother’s spiritual benefit

5B.  Finally, you will bear a brother’s burdens and forbear his infirmities if you are a Christian

3A.  Third, WE LOOK AND WE ASK OURSELVES “WHO DOES HE LOOK LIKE?”

4A.  Finally, WE LOOK AND WE ASK OURSELVES “WHO DOES HE LEISURE WITH?”
