Loving means laying down your life for others as Jesus did….BUT it does not mean that you are a doormat. There are two distint aspects of God’s love and we need to understand both of them.

John tells us that we know how much God loves us. The question is do we? Over the next few weeks we are going to explore God’s love so we can live in that place always, pouring it out into ourselves and others.

The resurrection is easy to just become another story if we let it. It is powerful and life changing. It brings life if we believe it and we can allow our spirits to die if we reject it! This weekend is about the reality that we can believe that Jesus died, rose again, and still lives powerfully through our lives!

God longs for restored intimacy with us. we work so hard being religious, but that doesn’t get us there. He loves us and made the way for restored intimacy with Him!

The question is why did Jesus have to die? One step further is why do we have to die. Paul says he understood the answer to these question by reading the scriptures. The scriptures he was referring to are the Old Testament. Today we will walk through to find this truth

Everything wants our attention. Our lives are filled with things that allow us to not be focused on what’s really important.

We tend to look at our situation, people in our lives, or circumstances and limit what we think God can do. God wants us to believe we are not limited but always blessed because of His love for us! This is the story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz!

How often have you felt that your life was in an impossible situation? When we believe we are loved by God, there are no impossible situations only opportunities for God to move!

You are the one God loves the most and when we come to realize that we learn to expect his blessings. Boaz is a type of Christ for Ruth and Naomi. He sees them, loves them and wants them to receive his blessings!

Even when things look their worst. Even when we or others around us have made bad decisions that impact us. If we choose to trust God’s love, goodness, and faithfulness, we will see his blessing!
