GLORIOUS SUNDAY SERMON OF
15TH FEBRUARY 2026
LESSON: 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
TOPIC:
LOVE
BEYOND ROSES
AND CHOCOLATES
TEXT:
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION:
When February arrives, the world is painted with red hearts, roses, and chocolates. Valentine’s Day dominates the culture, but as believers, we are called to look deeper into the meaning of love. The Bible reminds us that love is not merely a fleeting emotion or a romantic gesture—it is the very essence of God Himself. “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them” (1 John 4:16). Be blessed this Valentine season in Jesus powerful name.
EXPOSITION:
[1]. LOVE
THAT TRANSCENDS ROMANCE
Valentine’s may celebrate affection, but Christ calls us to a love that goes beyond romance—a love that sacrifices, forgives, and serves.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). Unlike the temporary thrill of gifts and flowers, the love of Christ is eternal, unconditional, and transformative.
[2]. LOVE
THAT BUILDS COMMUNITIES:
Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 challenge us: love is patient, kind, not self-seeking, and keeps no record of wrongs. Imagine if our communities embraced this radical love—marriages would be healed, friendships restored, and even enemies reconciled.
[3]. LOVE
WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS:
So while the world exchanges cards and chocolates,
let us exchange forgiveness, compassion, and service.
Let us be living valentines—letters of Christ written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.
2 Corinthians 3:3.
CONCLUSION:
MAKE YOUR LOVE
ACTIVE!
This February, may our love be more than symbolic.
May it be active, sacrificial, and Christ-centered. Because true love is not found in roses,
it is found in the cross. 1 Corinthians 13:13
PRAYER:
Lord, help us to love beyond cultural symbols.
May our lives reflect Your sacrificial love, bringing healing and hope to all around us. Amen.
PROPHETIC AFFIRMATION:
I walk in Christ-centered love.
My life is a living Valentine, written by the Spirit, transforming relationships and glorifying God.
WISHING YOU THE BEST OF THIS WEEK.
JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN BE READY FOR HIM.
With Love from Pastor M O Glorious,
