Jesus love you, you know.
-
Jesus love you.

Jesus love you.

Jesus love you use your rights when you be saved.
-
You supposed to preach the gospel.
-
What gospel we preaching?
-
But we're not able to say the person Jesus love you all of us have
-
the right to do.
-
Remember, when you be saved, you experience the love of the Lord.
-
You don't be here only for saying, oh, I'm sit down and I'm
-
doing my thing every Sunday.
-
No, your life had to be different.
-
Working with the Lord is excited, walking in waters.
-
Remember the excitement for the Lord has to be in your heart.
-
Dear brothers and sisters, okay, in Christ are we getting together
-
today we are inviting you to delve the deeper and boundless and
-
unsearchable love of Christ.
-
In our daily life, it is easy to become distracted by the noise,
-
by the man of this world.
-
But today I'll encourage you to pause and reflect the immense
-
love of Christ.
-
Tonight is not one more night.
-
The Lord has for each of us the power to change our heart, our
-
life forever.
-
You believe that.
-
You believe that they have forever changed your life.
-
The love of Christ.
-
Not just something to be understood in our mind, but something
-
to be filled deeply in our soul.
-
Remember, the word of God is so true that when the love of Christ
-
touch you, you change.
-
Not even nobody.
-
And always tell These younger people not leaving nobody write you
-
a story.
-
Leaving God, writing your story, leaving God put you in the
-
way that somebody they really need this love.
-
Let us take time and explore four keys.
-
Four keys.
-
The aspect for the Christ's love it is deeper, it's a sacrifice,
-
it's transforming power and it's eternal nature.
-
It's the four keys we see tonight.
-
The first key we open is the deep of Christ, the depth of Christ's
-
love.
-
Okay, I see my wife already said, oh, and love beyond measure.
-
This love they take us to Ephesians 3, 17, 19.
-
Let's go to the book of Ephesians.
-
Ephesians 3, 17, 17, 19.
-
And this love is amazing.
-
They say that Christ might dwell in your heart by faith.
-
Yet being rooted and grounded in love might be able to comprehend
-
with all saints what is the bread and length and deep and high.
-
And we see here something amazing.
-
And to know the love of Christ with path every knowledge that ye
-
might be filled with all fulness of the Lord.
-
Paul prays for the believer and said that Christ might dwell
-
in your heart through what?
-
Through faith.
-
All of us have to faith in Christ and his love is we can comprehend
-
the love of Christ in our mind.
-
We can, but it's something amazing.
-
I pray that you being rooted and establishing the love they have
-
the power together with all of the Lord's people to grasp how wide
-
and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.
-
And to know this love that surpass knowledge that you know might
-
be filled to make sure of all the fullness of God.
-
How many of you had experience to feeling God love?
-
How many of you able to pick up your hand and say, I'm feeling
-
this.
-
We can measure that.
-
Everybody is supposed, when you save you supposed to feel in
-
the love of Christ because you're supposed to preach the gospel.
-
What gospel you preach when you're not feeling the love of Christ.
-
You know what happen is we be sometimes too selfish to tell people,
-
Jesus love you.
-
And I'm not afraid to say, oh, this guy started again.
-
No, I'm telling you the truth.
-
In America we need more step up and say, you know, Jesus love
-
you, your life is not that bad because she should really love you.
-
You know, when you accepting the Lord, you come in with your dirty
-
clothes and he put your new clothes.
-
We have to be blessed to be here.
-
We have to be blessed everything God gave you to you today
-
because they love you.
-
And look at this we continue.
-
Paul speak of a love that cannot be fully comprehended.
-
By human mind.
-
The love of Christ is beyond measure.
-
Beyond what we can see, hear or feel.
-
It is wild as the universe.
-
As long as eternity, as high as heaven and as deep as the grave.
-
This love go far beyond our human understanding.
-
You can understand God love you the way you are?
-
I can.
-
And when I be saved, I said I can understand God love me the way
-
I am.
-
They love you.
-
They change you.
-
Look at this.
-
You know God know what you do it today.
-
And because you here, he bless you even you like it or not, because
-
you do the right choice to be in the house of the Lord.
-
Look at this.
-
His love we can confront.
-
Think about the creator of the universe.
-
The one who made the stars and formed the mountains.
-
Love you.
-
You know God.
-
With one hand they pick up the universe.
-
When people tell me about his God and say, my God is bigger, they
-
pick up the whole universe with one hand.
-
They beaten the dead.
-
He resurrected.
-
How many tools we have foretell the love of Christ for people
-
outside the church.
-
A lot of tools.
-
Your God is bigger than any God.
-
You know that, right?
-
You want you be saved.
-
This is your God.
-
When you be saved.
-
His love.
-
We can comprehend it.
-
We can tell people, you know one day talking in Exodus about the
-
shaking of glory.
-
The people we only hear about that.
-
But you don't really compare what's the love to the time you accept
-
in Christ.
-
When they give you the peace you need in this moment.
-
You know, when God taught you life, you feel in the love.
-
Not superficial love.
-
Because sometimes we say I love you, brother.
-
We're not really feeling.
-
I hate that guy.
-
But I had to, hey, I love you brother.
-
Because we in church, God is not like that.
-
He really love you.
-
When you passionate for the Lord, it's because you've been rescued.
-
I'm being rescued.
-
You be rescued.
-
You really say I'm saved.
-
Okay, feeling the love.
-
Because tonight you're feeling the love of God.
-
Tonight they find out that the Lord is here and they put in your
-
heart, I love you.
-
Don't worry about your work.
-
Don't worry about your sickness.
-
Just worry about my word today.
-
Just worry about my message in your heart.
-
The fuck of what happened outside.
-
Outside is a mess with a political whatever you want to talk.
-
Not only political, anything, it's a mess.
-
You know what?
-
People need love.
-
You know?
-
Need people need know you love.
-
Because sometimes I love people because I'm feeling sorry.
-
Jesus not feeling sorry for us.
-
Compassion.
-
You need love with compassion.
-
The only way you love like Jesus love is with compassion.
-
The Only way we find the revival.
-
We seek him for years and we start seeing.
-
Now, I tell you right now, you have negative people that tell you,
-
oh, we don't see the revival.
-
Why we see the revival.
-
Seeing your faces around.
-
I know everybody.
-
I told you.
-
I tell man, Jesus love you.
-
You know, a couple weeks ago, I go, somebody, I see somebody and
-
I hug him.
-
Only I said, let me hug this guy and say, you know what?
-
And then he sit and say, I hug him and I'm feeling bones in his
-
back.
-
He go back and drugs really bad.
-
And I know him for years, and I walk in and hug him and say, you
-
know, Jesus love you, man.
-
And he crying.
-
He.
-
He crying.
-
He crying that much for 10 minutes.
-
He tell me, you know, nobody tell me that for years because he
-
be in the word of God a long time ago.
-
And I said, oh, little things make a big difference in people's
-
life.
-
You know, just remember what Jesus do for you, the love they show
-
you.
-
It's what we need in the churches now, love.
-
Pat was just talking all about that all the time.
-
Sometimes when we come to the church, we sit down and we say, nothing
-
happened.
-
You say that in your heart.
-
I guarantee you nothing happened in your life.
-
All the time when I come here, I hear the message, always something
-
happened in my life.
-
Even when the difficult come to your life, you're feeling the
-
love of Christ because he tells you, hey, don't worry, you
-
have this problem.
-
I'm not taking this problem away from you, but I'm being with
-
you and this problem with my love.
-
And he love you.
-
He really love you.
-
You understand?
-
You're the son of the daughter of the King.
-
You understand how much you value for him.
-
His love.
-
You're not able to measure.
-
Look at this.
-
It's amazing.
-
Look at this.
-
It's very essence of what?
-
God.
-
It is his love.
-
It's the essence of God.
-
We can comprehend that thinking about the creator of the
-
universe, the one who made the star and formed the mountains.
-
Love you.
-
He love you for you.
-
No visit on your worthiness, but on his eternal nature.
-
It is the love that chose to reach down to us while we are still
-
far off.
-
Love broken, uninsaned.
-
Christ love you.
-
His love never end.
-
I'm trying to look at a word for never end.
-
And I'm trying to look in a really very difficult word to say.
-
But this morning I say, what can I use?
-
Say never end.
-
Thank you.
-
Never end.
-
Simple.
-
You know what we try to do in our mind and try to make One make
-
a discernment.
-
Try to do so sophisticated for people.
-
Impressed of me?
-
No, you have to be impressed for the word of God, not me.
-
You have to be the reason and tell the people, you know, I'm not
-
nervous to preaching because I'm very.
-
Go on.
-
But I'm nervous to say something wrong is not in the word
-
of God because I'm being judged.
-
Not for you, for the Lord.
-
Because sometimes when people come to the church, even though they
-
don't check what the pastor say, sometimes you know how many
-
mistakes I make sometimes with the wrong verse.
-
And a lot of people say, hey Pastor, I'm thinking it's the wrong
-
verse.
-
I say, yeah, you're right.
-
You know how many times happen not even that happened in your life
-
because sometimes the devil use that for destroying you.
-
You know what happened with the wrong verse?
-
You maybe do some sin and you say, ah, God is right.
-
No, he's not right with that.
-
When you feel compassion for the Lord, it's because you're feeling
-
the love.
-
All of you have the passion for serving the Lord.
-
All of you.
-
That's the reason you here.
-
That's the reason you say, hey, I'm here.
-
And the second key, this is the first key.
-
The second key is the sacrificial love of Christ is the
-
ultimate expression of love.
-
You see, he sacrificed that much for us.
-
And let's go see in the book of in the word of God what they say.
-
Romans 5:8.
-
Check it out, make sure I'm right.
-
Okay, Romans 5:8.
-
Now misunderstanding people say, hey Pastor, Pastor Gallo not
-
teaching about the Bible.
-
They're not even preaching no more.
-
That is the Bible saying he loved the utah much.
-
Romans 5:8.
-
Let's go.
-
Romans 5:8 says something impress something amazing.
-
And look at what they say.
-
That means you have to check your Bible.
-
But God command his love toward us and that while we are yet
-
sinners.
-
Christ died for what?
-
Okay, but God demonstrates his own love for us.
-
And this while we're still sinners, Christ died for us.
-
The greater manifestation of Christ's love is found in his sacrificial
-
word on the cross.
-
He really love you.
-
He died for us on the cross.
-
Look at that amazing love.
-
Jesus did not just speak or love.
-
He showed through the most incredible act self given.
-
The world has never been seen experienced.
-
He give you his own life for us.
-
He don't say I love you.
-
And we do some promise sometimes we never take.
-
I remember when I'm dating my wife, I'm probably Marilu, Mariluz
-
I love you when I marry you and give you a diamond.
-
$5,000 diamond, man life.
-
You never have it right.
-
But when Jesus say they love you and they do something for you.
-
He died on the cross.
-
His word is true.
-
And everybody laughing because sometimes we do promise we never
-
do.
-
Okay, everybody, not just me.
-
That is why I'm not feeling that bad.
-
But I'm supposed to feeling bad.
-
Thanks God.
-
God is not like us.
-
Not like me.
-
I say like me for you guys not feeling bad and say like me, but
-
it's all of us.
-
Thanks God.
-
The love God, we can measure that.
-
We can.
-
It's impossible.
-
And look at this.
-
Jesus, the son of God willingly left his throne in heaven
-
and come to the earth not to be served, but served.
-
He came to take upon himself the punish that we deserve for our
-
sins.
-
On the cross.
-
He bore our sin, our shame, our guilt.
-
He suffering and died so that we could reconcile with God.
-
So that the body of the sin between us and the Father can be
-
removed.
-
Because he do that for you.
-
We love the preacher talking about some kind of love this morning.
-
And I say inside me myself.
-
He say, no, he used my sense.
-
No, he talking about the love.
-
And that's what we have to have love.
-
We know God with the mission.
-
Pastor Joy say go.
-
We don't have love for others.
-
What is the reason you be next to your wife?
-
Because you love her.
-
Every husband is supposed to work close to your wife.
-
Come on guys, right?
-
Because you love.
-
Because something.
-
The love is not the kind of love that expressed through nice
-
words or good intention.
-
It is a love that costs something.
-
The love of Jesus Christ.
-
They cost him his life.
-
Christ's love cost him his life.
-
He gave his very life for us.
-
To rescue us from eternal separation from God.
-
There is no greater love than that.
-
You can find it nowhere.
-
You read any history book, you can find it that love.
-
You read Romeo and Juliet, whatever you want to read it.
-
That love is not like God love.
-
You can imagine that love.
-
You can comprehend it.
-
You never see.
-
People say that guy is so fanatic.
-
I love it when people tell me, man, you fanatic.
-
Because I'm being rescued.
-
And the love God gave it to me.
-
You're not finding nowhere except in him.
-
And it's not easy to find.
-
People say, no, it's easy, no.
-
Because when you be saved, you self have go second.
-
You have to put first God.
-
Me, me, me have to go.
-
Want to be saved and try to be.
-
Many months, I think for months try to go to Egypt.
-
Many Times.
-
And I say, man, I'm not feeling good, but I'll be safe.
-
But you know what?
-
And try to find love in the wrong way to the time and discover
-
you never find a love of God except me.
-
Tonight.
-
You're coming tonight because you have to discover in your heart
-
you're really feeling the love of God.
-
Or just you never feel it.
-
And you say, oh, I'm being saved.
-
And you never experience the love.
-
Just be careful.
-
You visit for 20 years in a church and you never experience that
-
love.
-
They overwhelm your heart.
-
The feeling in love with the Lord.
-
No matter what people say, no matter what people tell you, you
-
continue serving the Lord.
-
Because the love we can find money.
-
Not able to pay the love your job.
-
Not able to pay the love.
-
You know, to the time I discovered.
-
You know, people sometimes worry I'm the one to worry about
-
my job sometimes.
-
And you know what?
-
You'll be replaceable.
-
And I wick.
-
When I'm working in Florida, I'm saying, these people never find
-
a manager like me.
-
And a week, they replace me right away.
-
I'm working for them for many years.
-
Or at least as they testify, I'm the best one week.
-
And you know what is the bad news that happened to you too?
-
So get no focus on that.
-
Focus on the Lord.
-
No matter everything be replaceable.
-
You know who only not be replaceable?
-
God.
-
God never be replaced.
-
Look, he's the only one.
-
But let's go to the third key, okay?
-
We passed one, two keys already.
-
The transforming power of Christ love.
-
A love that can change us, okay?
-
That love, they're able to change really, really bad people
-
or really, really bad woman to something that people never see before.
-
They changed.
-
Paul, they check me, they check Mark, right?
-
They check Mark.
-
They chant.
-
Everybody.
-
Most of the people I know here, they.
-
Beside Alain, all the people, they walk in and say, mark.
-
And go on and on and on and on.
-
And you say, man, this guy tell everybody I'm not bad.
-
Yeah, you're bad before.
-
But God taught you and they changed you.
-
You have a new, new, new heart.
-
You be a new creature.
-
It's because somebody give you a real love.
-
Somebody show you the real love.
-
Somebody tell you you're really important, you know?
-
The third key is the transforming power of Christ.
-
Love that can change us.
-
The love of Christ is not just something admired from a distance.
-
It is a love that comes and dwell on us and transforming us from
-
the inside out.
-
Okay?
-
God, transformation is not from outside.
-
It's from inside out.
-
I'm tired to tell people differs bankers that you shouldn't
-
tie.
-
And don't make me wrong, I use certain tanks.
-
I say no.
-
The capacity bank deferred no.
-
And say in the reality, right people the outside they want it looking
-
good for people.
-
And say ask about people.
-
What is your first reaction when you're walking on the street
-
and somebody coming with broken jeans and a broken shirt,
-
another guy coming with suit and tie walking next to you, who
-
you go close to?
-
Huh?
-
No, but you know what?
-
The guy sue and tested drug dealer.
-
You don't know that.
-
Because the outside looking good.
-
That's the reason there is generation and the love of Christ
-
that make you change from inside.
-
You change it.
-
Look at your face so happy you are feeling now you say, man, this
-
guy remind me how much God loved me.
-
Why he poured that love on me.
-
Because you're really important.
-
And look at this.
-
Let's go to the third keys.
-
Okay.
-
Let's go to Second Corinthians 5:17.
-
Second Corinthians 5:17.
-
And look at what they say.
-
Second Corinthians 5:17.
-
Checking your Bible.
-
Okay.
-
Tell you all the time.
-
Second Corinthians 5:17.
-
They say, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature.
-
Old things are passed away.
-
Behold, all things are coming.
-
What?
-
Yes.
-
Who write this?
-
Paul.
-
He said, if any is in Christ, the new creation has come, the old
-
has gone and the new is here.
-
What?
-
The reason I make you read Psalm 100 when you're coming in,
-
it's because the psalmist start rejoice being where in the
-
house of the Lord.
-
You know, too many people come to the house of the Lord and and
-
coming.
-
And I love when people sit down and it's like this, like they
-
think nobody see there.
-
And when the preachers say amen or something.
-
Everybody see you.
-
Everybody see you, right?
-
And the pastor see you more.
-
That's the reason I have it.
-
I have it.
-
I say no.
-
And I'm preaching close to the people because I want to walking
-
around.
-
Nobody's sleeping now until you're looking around the people
-
sleeping before they're not sleeping with me.
-
I never liked that.
-
I always thought even Spanish was that, hey, nobody's sleeping
-
in my service.
-
It's because men you lose your blessing when you're sleeping.
-
You come in, this is the wrong place to sleep.
-
Wrong place.
-
This is the place you focus.
-
What the Lord want in your life?
-
This is the hospital.
-
Not do like when I do.
-
When I go to the doctor and go to the doctor and the doctor asked
-
me, you feeling good?
-
I said, fantastic.
-
What is the reason you're here?
-
You're feeling good?
-
Because I had a habit.
-
Men had a habit.
-
Everybody laughing.
-
Because when the men go to the doctor, they say, oh, I'm feeling
-
good, I have nothing.
-
That's the thing.
-
Look, you come into the hospital, this is not a museum of
-
perfect people.
-
This is a hospital.
-
All of Bob is sick and we want, okay, regenerate all the time.
-
Leaving our problems here, leaving our sickness here.
-
That's the reason the love of Christ changed your life.
-
They changed my.
-
They changed pastor Josh's life, they changed Pastor John, they
-
changed brother Blackford, they changed brother Michalister's
-
life.
-
They changed your life because they love you.
-
You see the special, you see the kids outside, watch the door.
-
You see the kids seeking for the Lord.
-
And the kids say, hey, yeah, you too.
-
Come and play something every Sunday testimony.
-
Now you're here, you see it.
-
The love of Christ makes a difference in people's life.
-
And let's go.
-
He said, man, come on the Torquis.
-
One more.
-
It's more, man, it's more.
-
It's excitement, it's passion.
-
Amen.
-
What is nothing more important than being in the house of the Lord?
-
Be excited.
-
When you invite somebody to the house of the Lord, don't tell
-
him, oh, pastor, again with that preaching about guiltiness.
-
Man, that guy is so bad.
-
No, invite people to the party because this is your spiritual party
-
when you come every Sunday and Wednesday.
-
You know what I always tell people?
-
I never invite nobody to my parties when I be in Egypt and I
-
tell come to my party, you boring and I have a horrible food.
-
Nobody go to your party.
-
Who want to go to the party for when you invite somebody to the
-
church, you say, hey, come on to the party.
-
By the way, the pastor is so boring, but sit down on the back
-
because you're able to sleep in.
-
No, you know, you're not coming to sleep into the church,
-
you're coming to revive.
-
You're coming to your heart pumping hundred miles an hour because
-
you're feeling the love of Christ.
-
Tell the people what you changed, your life changed.
-
And I always tell people it's exciting walking for the Lord.
-
When we encounter the love of Christ, we are never the same.
-
His love takes hold of our heart and renew our mind and change
-
how to see ourselves, how we see others and how we live our life.
-
The love of Christ does not leave us unchanging and compels us
-
to become more like Jesus.
-
We have to be more like Jesus.
-
We're feeling what compassion you see when Jesus present the kingdom,
-
he never say ah, by the way, the kingdom is so bad.
-
The kingdom is this.
-
No, the kingdom is excited.
-
We continue to tell the people, the younger generation, it's
-
a sacrifice serving the Lord.
-
It's a lie because you walking in water when you're serving the
-
Lord.
-
The Bible says he provide everything you need.
-
We stand for the next generation.
-
We criticize too much.
-
It's because we tell the people.
-
I so sad.
-
I had to wake up my only day off to go to church.
-
That's a sacrifice.
-
Go to church.
-
You have to be grateful you have a job.
-
You know, when you're feeling the love, you start appreciate everything
-
they give to you.
-
The Lord give you a lot of stuff that we take it for granted.
-
A lot of stuff.
-
Look at this.
-
The love of Christ remind you how important you are.
-
Remind you the power that God gives to you.
-
Through Christ's love, we are free from the chain of sin and shame.
-
We are no longer bounded by our past, our mistake or our failure.
-
His love empower us to live in freedom and grace.
-
As we grow in and the knowledge of his love we begin reflect
-
his character and his heart to the world around us.
-
This transformation loves us not just for our benefits and receive
-
of Christ's love.
-
We are called to share that love with others.
-
The love that has changed us is mana overflow from our heart and
-
touch the life of those around us.
-
The love of Christ.
-
You supposed to spread the love of Christ.
-
People supposed to feel in the peace you have with the love of Christ.
-
We are vessels through which Christ's love spiral onto the world.
-
We supposed to spread this love.
-
We supposed to remind people, Jesus love you.
-
You know what is hard to do this exercise.
-
And I guarantee you we do this every Sunday.
-
And for you it's like you go to school every day.
-
It's like lifestyle or like you go to work every day.
-
We have to exercise this thing.
-

-
We have that habit.
-
Adults coming every Sunday.

You see the blessing God giving to you all the time today
-

-
They give you a chance.
-

-
No matter your age, no matter where you come from.
-
Stop for yourself.
-
Oh, I'm too old.

What is the big deal?
-
Just show the love.
-
What are we waiting for?
-
What you waiting for?
-
What are we waiting to?
-
Our life is gone.
-
To other people.
-
Writing a story.
-
No, leaving God writing your story.
-
Even people remember you how passionate you are for the Lord.
-
Because it's the only that matter.
-
Your bank account.
-
People forget.
-
Oh, they had $20 million.
-
Oh, good for him.
-
But he's dead.
-
Oh, the minister growing.
-
Remember that guy in 1979?
-
Yes, there's that guy.
-
We continue here because that guy prayed for us.
-
And the night when we not here.
-
All of that stories that God writing for you.
-
Let's go continue with the key.
-
Okay, key number four is the last one.
-
The eternal nature of Christ love.
-
A love that never failed.
-
Finally, the love of Christ is eternal.
-
Let's go to Romans 8, 38, 39.
-
And it's the last verse.
-
We go.
-
Let's go to Romans 8, 38, 39.
-
You have to feel impassioned even with other people.
-
You have to tell people, hey, you know, you're really important
-
for the Lord.
-
You know Jesus love you that much that he died for you.
-
And look at this, the love of Christ.
-
And let's go and read in this.
-
And I want to make sure you're putting this in your heart.
-
Okay?
-
Romans 8, 38, 39.
-
For I'm persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angel, no principalities,
-
nor power, nothing present, nothing to come, nor hay, nor deep,
-
nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the.
-
What?
-
I start again.
-
For what?
-
For what?
-
Good job.
-
Yeah.
-
When we go outside, say the love of God.
-
No, the love of God.
-
Come on, mean it.
-
Really.
-
The love of God is.
-
Make you string.
-
Look at this.
-
Look at what we're reading here.
-
Paul declared.
-
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angel,
-
nor demons, neither present, nor the future, nor any power, any
-
high, any deep, nor anything else in the creation.
-
We able to separate us to the love of Christ.
-
Look at that.
-
Nothing separates us to the love of Christ.
-
You really important for the Lord.
-
You understand that you looking yourself on the mirror and
-
saying, man, I'm the son of the king.
-
I are really important person.
-
I'm the daughter of the king.
-
Are really important.
-
Like Christian.
-
We serve an amazing God and a big God.
-
No Little guy, when you pray now on, pray for something big.
-
Don't pray for little things.
-
Ah, you have to cover my electric bill.
-
Everybody cover your electric bill.
-
Pray for big things because we serving a big God.
-
Stop.
-
Pray for little things, pray for big things.
-
Challenge yourself with the Lord.
-
Say, hey, I want to walk in water with you.
-
You know, it's hard to say it, but when you be in the difficult,
-
you don't have no choice.
-
When you be in the valley, you don't have no choice.
-
When somebody give you bad news for your healthiness, you don't
-
have control.
-
You know what's the problem with Christians Feeling the control
-
of the situation.
-
But when they're feeling the love, they leave in hand taker, not
-
leaving the devil stolen your life and your happiness.
-
Because they love you that much.
-
God loves you a lot.
-
And look at this, we almost finished.
-
The love of Christ is unshakable, unchanging.
-
Nothing in all creation separates us from his love.
-
It's not deep in our circumstances or our success or our
-
failures.
-
Christ's love is not fitting.
-
It is eternal.
-
It's the foundation we teach our lives.
-
Are we built in times of hardship?
-
We feel alone on our overwhelming life.
-
His love is constantly in times of joy, when we are celebrating
-
life blessings.
-
His love reminds us wherever we are in the mountaintop to the
-
mountain when the valley.
-
Christ's love never fell.
-
It is an anchor of our soul, a sort of comfort and strength that
-
will carry us through every storm.
-
The love of Christ that carries you in the middle to the
-
storm.
-
He's there with you.
-
Just only you have to feel him when you close you.
-
Now we come in with invitation, okay?
-
The last time I invite people say, why don't you invite me to pray
-
on the front?
-
Now I won't invite you to come and pray on the front.
-
Okay?
-
Dear friends, we saw the conclusion.
-
Right now the love of Christ is immeasurable, sacrificial, transformer
-
and eternal.
-
I will reflect on the depth of his love today.
-
Might we allow it to penetrate our heart and mind?
-
Let us never take his love for granted, but as instant.
-
Let the be the driving, the force begin all that we do.
-
The love of Christ has to be present in every decision in our
-
life.
-
Christ love you that much.
-
That changed everything.
-
It called us to live differently, to love others as he
-
loves us, to share his love with words that separately need.
-
And may we leave testimonies of the incredible love.
-
And may it overflow from our life, to touch the life of those
-
around you.
-
You know, the love of Christ, you're able to share with other people.
-
Even the people feeling the love of Christ, remember, it's different
-
feeling sorry for somebody.
-
They're feeling what what Jesus feeling for us.
-
Very good.
-
Remember, the love of Christ is not a sorry love.
-
It's leftover.
-
No, his compassion.
-
He died on the cross for each of us.
-
Now we up, we close our eyes, we pray and make this invitation
-
for the person they hear tonight, Father.
