The Agape Factor: Practical Guidelines for Successful Relationships from I Corinthians 13 (WordMaster Bible Studies)

Our lives are defined by our relationships. Work, family, marriage, friendships, church and business relationships all impact our ability to live happy fulfilled lives. What is the key to successful relationship building? According to the Bible, it can be summed up in one word - LOVE. More specifically, agape love, the type of love that God had for us.

Christians are called to express that love everywhere. Indeed, Jesus said that it would be the way the world would know we are Christians.

But we all know it is easier to say "Love one another," than it is to live those words. Indeed, it is sometimes difficult to even figure out what the most loving behavior might be within a given situation. Fortunately, the Bible contains a chapter, sometimes known as The Love Chapter (I Corinthians 13) that describes exactly what this ultimate type of love looks like in practice.

This series of lessons looks at each of those components of Agape love in detail. Each lesson includes a short commentary along with study questions appropriate for both individual and group study.
