Message by Pastors Jason on Wednesday evening, January 9, 2019 Synopsis: In the Greek language, there are four words describing different types of love: Eros Love – Physical, sensual intimacy between a husband and wife. Expresses sexual, romantic attraction. Storge Love – Family affectionate love (familial love). A natural or instinctual affection, like love of a parent towards offspring and vice versa. (The opposite of storge love is astorge – without natural love) Phileo Love – Having tender affectionate love. A strong liking or strong friendship. Agape Love – A universal, unconditional, sacrificial love that transcends and persists regardless of circumstance. In “Love Study – Part 1” we’ll study the first three types of love, Eros, Storge and Phileo love. Scriptures: Eros Love: (not found in the bible) Storge Love: Romans 12:10 (KJV):12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. Astorge Love:(opposite of storge love) Romans 1:31 (KJV): (The opposite of storge love, Astorge)(1:31) Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful 2nd Timothy 3:3 (KJV):(3:3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Romans 1:24-31 (KJV):(1:24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (1:25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (1:26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (1:27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (1:28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (1:29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (1:30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (1:31) Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Phileo Love: John 21:15-17 (KJV):(21:15) So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee.  He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. (21:16) He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (21:17) He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
