Love That Knows What To Do

What if love isn’t just a feeling to chase but a skill to train? We walk through Paul’s prayer in Philippians 1:9–11 to show how love grows wiser, not thinner, under pressure. Instead of asking for easier days, Paul asks for love that “abounds in knowledge and depth of insight,” a love that can read the room, see beneath the surface, and respond with courage and care.

Lasting transformation comes “through Jesus Christ,” not through pressure or willpower. As we abide, fruit shows up: patience replaces sarcasm, gentleness disarms anger, and faithfulness outlasts convenience. If you’ve wondered how to love wisely when life gets complicated, this message offers a roadmap.
