Thank everyone for help
Explain why we did it.
Whats to come.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
This is a verse that seems like a fairytale, but the only correlation to a fairytale this is, is the fact that when you experience it, the true form of this passage you for the first time ever feel seen, you are filled with a purpose, and most amazingly you, you experience supernatural life.

. The great big world we live in, its mighty, majestic, scientists astronomers, and physicist say the universe is ever expanding, far and wide more and more galaxies, nebulas, suns, moons, planets, starts, all forming even as we sit here and ponder on them.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
1 A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares:
Yes his biggest care isn’t the place he dwells within the universe but rather that he God wants to dwell in man.
God with infinitely vast power vision and ability cares deeply about the smallest things so carefully.
the universe cries out in worship, and all worship is, is giving up what one’s self wants sacrificing becoming selfless in admiration to God.
Into his love. Ahab or agope
Takeaways
Takeaways
1. God’s Love is selfless
1. God’s Love is selfless
Gods love is sacraficial
Gods love is serving
Agape Love: Selfless, sacraficial love.
love that is free from the world’s misuse and abuse of love. A love that is pure and perfect.
That love is "AGAPE" which is a selfless, sacrificing and serving love.
There are different kinds of love. "Eros" which is sexual, which is pure and perfect
within marriage. There is also "phileo" a friendship love. Agape runs deeper than phileo and does not need eros (see 1 Pet 1:22, 4:8).
22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Takeaway 2.
2. The Bride is found under agape love
2. The Bride is found under agape love
The church is called to a deep love, not a friendship love.
The church needs people to be family, not convential bystanders.
Listen, people that come to church, the hurting, broken, ones seeking healing, hope, they come for the deep things of God not for what the culture makes the church.
See the church shouldnt be the roman collusium. You know the one where the crowds come and watch others through entertainment, and to make themselves feel better.
The body of Christ is those who love unconvientetly. Those who go out of there way to walk through the mud with there brothers or sisters.
Agape love is a committed love, commitment that entrust one’s life to God and then in turn to becoming his bride, the church of which Jesus intends to come back and receive.
How often do you ask yourself am I the church God is looking for? Have you done a true reflection within the word of God: who do you see when you read those scriptures.
The Bible is a mirror a canvas of which we portray ourselves within our reading.
What are you searching for within scriptures, how to get away with murder, or how to give all your belongings to the homeless.
Are you reading to evangelize like Stephen, or reading what
-Agape links us, unites us and builds us up. Agape is the greatest strength the church of Christ can have, because of this Satan is going to test our love for each other.
We should allow Gods love to change us, not our lack of it to entangle us.
Gods love frees us, our love mistreats us.
What does His love mean? It means everything to the one who believes it.
I
Those who believe
those who become selfless
This bridge of selflessness brings us to this what are we holding back?

3. How we believe dictates how we worship
3. How we believe dictates how we worship
The key to selflessness is faith. Trust, our commitment, our prayers, and believe it or not our worship.
The key to belief is found in our worship.
13 Sing to the Lord! Give praise to the Lord! He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked.
Isaiah 29:13 : what’s your worship theology?
13 The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
4. Worship is denying oneself.
4. Worship is denying oneself.
Sacrifice looks like submission to God as He renews my heart, mind, words, service—my whole life—to better reflect His perfect character and boundless mercy. I am called to sacrifice my sinful nature, my active temptations, and my selfishness in an ongoing act of worship and praise to God, whose sacrifice alone makes me worthy to stand before Him.
Sacrafice looks like submission to God
He Renews our heart, mind, our words, and service. our entire life. :TO better reflect his perfect character.
We are caled to sacrifice our sinful nature, our active temptations, and in doing so our saying no to these things is an act of worship and praise to God.
We do these things because His sacrafice was greater.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
shall have eternal life.
This is what it means to believe. Live according to the wonders of His love.
5. Eternal life is in the Kingdom
5. Eternal life is in the Kingdom
Whilst the kingdom of Heaven is here on earth, made up of all the congregations of Jesus Christ world wide, it belongs in heaven because it is an eternal kingdom
Eternity: kingdom
they inherit more then they could fathom Paint the image of heaven.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”
What is eternity? This is where logic leaves the room.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
The entrance
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Closing.
The baptism of God’s Love, the Acceptance of Grace. THe forgivness of sins.
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
