Transcript of 4 May 2014: "Benediction Message"

 

1 JOHN 4:8 HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE.

•  Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

•  Psalm 103:8 “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.”

•  Rom 5:8 But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!

“God’s love never ceases, Never. Though we spurn Him,  ignore Him, despise Him, disobey Him, He will never change.  Our evil cannot diminish His love.  Our goodness cannot increase His love.  Our faith does not earn it anymore than our stupidity jeopardizes it.  God doesn’t love us less if we fail or more if we succeed.  God’s love never ceases!  God loves you the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way.” ~ Max Lucado

when the Gospel was preached in

partnership with the Holy Spirit

•  Acts  3  –  3,000  were  saved…  healing  the  lame  man    

•  Acts  8  –  Philip  –  went  to    Samaria    &  led  revival  meeting    

•  Angel  appeared  to  Philip  &  told  him  to  go  south  -­‐  &  he  led  an  Ethiopian    eunuch  to  Jesus.    

We need to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and have an obedient heart.  Such a partnership is

indispensable to the Church. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God & the

fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
