    A consideration of Divine Love

    Introduction: I want us to consider the Love of God. In the 80's a popular music group sang a song that I believe is the heartcry of our generation.

    Imagine a church wracked with divisions. Powerful leaders promote themselves against each other, each with his band of loyal followers.

    The only true masterpiece of man is sin, God’s masterpiece uses the centerpiece (the cross) to paint over the ugly and unacceptable work of man. God’s masterpiece is still the good news. It is still the greatest story ever told.

    Intro: A masterpiece is the greatest work of an artist, or something superlative (the best of) its kind. Michelangelo had his Sistine chapel, Leonardo DaVinchi had the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, and Van Gogh had his self portrait. There is no work of art that compares to God’s masterpiece the ...read more

    Nothing can explain what happened to Saul of Tarsus short of God’s intervention in his life. Has that ever happened to you?

Here’s a man with high religious standards performing terrorist acts. Here’s a man who hates Jesus, but wants to please ...read more
