Believe The Love
The Apostle John referred to himself repeatedly as the "disciple whom Jesus loved". He also states in his epistle (1 John 4:16) that "we have known and believed the love that God has for us." It's not enough to just technically know that God loves us. We must believe that love and allow our lives to be rooted and grounded in His love. In this message we explore how that our love for God begins with His love for us (1 John 4:19) and that we never "outgrow" our need to hear those words…"God Loves You".

Dear Ed, I remembered your sermon on Love and I wanted to use a few of your thoughts, scriptures on air today, Valentine's Day, 2007…that donut/pushup story makes me cry……………….. it makes the sacrifice so real and even moreso the love of God manifested toward us…but that He first loved us……I was reading in 2 Corinthians last night and where it says the love of God Compels us or constrains us. Another definition of the word, "compel" is "leaves no options"… that is strong love working in us…initiated from Him.
