    Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,860 views

    Jesus followers are a weird group of people. We don’t live like other people. We don’t have the same priorities or look at life the same way as everyone else. Genuine love always points people to Jesus Christ.

    Let’s just be real here. Jesus followers are weird people. We’re wacked. We say stuff and do things that most people around us find odd, or even dumb. For example, we look for ways to bless the kind of people that others want to avoid. We want to go to prison and love on inmates. ...read more

    We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

    Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

    The truth is, that how we live, matters to God! Christians are to keep in step with the Spirit and to walk in obedience to God's revealed will - but what's our motivation for doing so? Is it Law or is it Love? And why does it matter?

    No Compromise! - 1 John 3:1-10 - July 28, 2013 Series: That We May Know – Life With Jesus - #9 We’re continuing in our series in the book of 1 John this morning so I’ll invite you to open your Bibles with me to 1 John, chapter 3, and we’ll begin reading in verse 1. ...read more
