  1. Come morning. So there's still continue the same theme we had done beginner February,

  2. a greater Love, and this morning we are going to look at five

  3. areas of love. A sense that the Father wanted to have us sit down,

  4. like having a cup of tea or a cup of coffee in our living

  5. room and just have a one to one conversation with us about love. We

  6. can say, oh, yes, I know that God loves me, but

  7. I think he wants well, I don't think I know. He wants to

  8. explore that he wants us to refrain from about thinking about what that really means

  9. to us as individuals. And we say that, I know we read that,

  10. but a lot of sense, well it wasn't much of a preach.

  11. It was more of a chat him talking to us about love, and we

  12. all have our own perception of what that means. To go on to speak

  13. to all individually for what we've got to I've got to say this morning,

  14. So just let's pray. And then I wanted to be open to a hole

  15. point to say to you, colle We wanst to say to you, so

  16. you're getting most out of this time with God, you just want you want

  17. to reframe and change our thinking. I think is the best way sense I

  18. got with it. So do well? Can you this this morning invite to

  19. please speak to us about your love. Please reframe or we're just are thinking

  20. where it's not where it needs to be. Help us to see things from

  21. your perspective, not our own perspective. In Jesus name, mhm. So

  22. when I say God loves you, what do you see? What's your image

  23. of God loves you? Do you see us all as arms wrapping around you?

  24. What did you see? I see God's arms wrapping around me? So

  25. God's love is endless. I mean what you say, God is love?

  26. The Bible says in one John, God is love. She could say Love

  27. created the world. Love created us in his image, male and them,

  28. He created them. So love is everywhere God pervades his creation. We've brought

  29. God with us today. He's inside of us. So God's love is inside

  30. of us. But God is wanting to assure that we receive that love.

  31. We understand that love not just in here tapping my head for those people on

  32. the recording, But it's in our heart, isn't it. I can either

  33. mental assent to what I think God's love is and when I when I know.

  34. It's a difference, isn't there hm? And God wants to get us

  35. from here to here in every aspect of his love. Memory young guys saying

  36. to God, do you love me? And you just said, oh,

  37. I dive you didn't I. Oh yeah. It's interesting how where perceptions of

  38. what love is. And let's start the first point that God gave me.

  39. That God's love is unconditional. There are no conditions to God's love. He

  40. loves us all equally. He loves us all unconditionally. That's an end of

  41. our thirty seconds. But the revelation in that that love, God loves us

  42. unconditionally regards to who we are, what we've done, what we are going

  43. to do, is significant. John three point sixteen says, for God so

  44. loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him

  45. shall not perish, but asked in life. So God, to a giver,

  46. God is love and love gave us his son, He gives his Sensori

  47. had that relationship with him. And that's basic stuff. But God wants to

  48. start with the basics and build on something. When you build a foundation where

  49. you build a property. Sure they say, you don't start on the second

  50. floor without a foundation where things fall over, just simple stuff, but that

  51. we're going to start, So don't go shut off, shut off, I

  52. think about my dinner. Just listen what God's got to say, and then

  53. we'll go the rest of it. God loved us so much that he sent

  54. Jesus. His love has no boundaries. His love has no boundaries Romans five,

  55. eight to eleven. I'll just read the first part. Is it God

  56. demonstrated his own love towards us that while we have seen as Christ died for

  57. us, much more then, having been justified by his blood, we are

  58. saved through the wrath from wrath through him. But if when we were enemies

  59. we were reconciled to God through the death of his son, much more,

  60. having been reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And to tell

  61. that, but we also rejoice in God through the Lord Jesus Christ, whom

  62. we have now received. We have received a reconciliation. So John said in

  63. two lines. Paul said in about six post of Theologian, there's a fact,

  64. when we were enmity with God, he sent Jesus. Wherever you are,

  65. if you don't know God. He's listening to God. Now you don't

  66. know him. God loves you. If you're in prison, if you're in

  67. the car, wherever you listen to this message, or even listen to this

  68. message, God loves you. If you made a mistake, God loves you.

  69. If you're just a normal person in vert of commerce, does a normal

  70. job, God loves you. God's love is unconditional. That means there are

  71. no requirements to receiving that love. You got to jump through hoops. Doesn't

  72. matter where you are, who you are, where you've got any family,

  73. no family, but on your own, God loves you. Those aren't just

  74. words, those are facts. What should per say? It's a truth?

  75. Saying it is a truth. God loves you and suddenly listen to this take

  76. needs to know that that God loves them. He allowed us so much that

  77. were adopted into his family. Romas eight fifteen says, for you did not

  78. receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you receive the spirit of

  79. adoption by whom we cry abba Father. So did God love us? He

  80. took us into his family like he loves Jesus. He doesn't go I love

  81. you more. I love you more. I love you more. He loves

  82. us, and sometimes that can be half for people to receive that God loves

  83. them unconditionally, regardless of who they are, where they came from, what

  84. they do. Knowing that it's excluded, everybody is welcome. His love is

  85. unconditional to us, unconditional. Second point we want to touch on this morning

  86. is we cannot be separated from God's love. We cannot be separated from God's

  87. love. We can ignore God, which is not a nice thing to do,

  88. but we cannot be separated from God's love. When you were born again,

  89. you receive the Holy Spirit and hot bit dwells within us. Soever you

  90. go, he goes. We had that daily communion union, communion with God

  91. through the Holy Spirit. When you wake up this mins good morning, Holy

  92. space, isn't it? What come morning God? And now you want to

  93. play? And God is there. He's dwelling within us. But sometimes lies

  94. get propagated, like God doesn't love me. I've made a mistake. God

  95. doesn't love me. I said the wrong thing. God doesn't love me.

  96. That's not true. God loves us and we cannot be separated from that love.

  97. We cannot be separated from God's love m m hm. He knows us

  98. intimately and wants to have that relationship with us intimately as a loving father has

  99. a relationship with their children. And someone who need to reframe our thinking on

  100. that on that point that we cannot be separated from God love, that they

  101. think they can be separated from God because they cannot be separated from Gods love.

  102. H Third point I've got to share with you is is a carker.

  103. God's love covers God's love covers Gods. Gods comes all our sin. Remember

  104. a preacher I know, not me, someday, I know we were just

  105. started noting his in his his preaching ministry and he made a mistake, said

  106. something shouldn't have said, and he was beating stuff up about it. He

  107. was, you know, having a going about this, have about it,

  108. and just speaking in the evening, spoken, speaking the evenings of Sunday evening,

  109. Sunday morning business. And he wasn't really connecting with God. And God

  110. said, what's the problem. He said, well, I did so,

  111. and so I said so and so He said, yeah, did you not

  112. repent of that? He said yeah. He said, well, why you

  113. bring it up again? Then I'm not bringing it up. It's going to

  114. see if forget one. So far as I'm concerned, So what's your problem?

  115. He said, I've got a problem. He said, well, then

  116. you go there. Sometimes our perception it's not how God see things. Proverbs

  117. ten and verse twelve says, hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all

  118. sins. Hatred stays up strife, but love covers all sins. That's the

  119. I see the Old Testament. The New Testament is one to one nine.

  120. If we confess our sins, He's faithful and just to forgive us our sins

  121. and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. See, God's love is the fact.

  122. This is what God wants to get over today. It seems a bit simple,

  123. this thing that God with God's love is a fact. Nothing is too

  124. big and cannot be covered with God's love. There's no sin too big,

  125. there's no sin too small. There's no demeanor too big. There's no demeanor

  126. too small that cannot be covered by God's love. And God wants to see

  127. things from his perspective. So I do make a mistake? Do does and

  128. we shouldn't have done. Well, we're not in the right place. I

  129. think we should be we just need to make a course correction and a reconnection.

  130. The people in the Kingdom of God are walking around the limb so that

  131. them somebody sets up into them. They're taking the battom bore home. They're

  132. feeling sorry for themself, and they walking with a limb. When you stub

  133. your toe, it hurts. I stub my toe on the doorjamed from my

  134. kitchen into a living room, and it went black, so as I coun't

  135. wear my normal shoes, and I was walking with walking a bit of a

  136. limb around the house, jumping up and down, and it your pain went.

  137. I had to put my foot down to start walking again. And you

  138. hurt, but you persy, beere and you walk through it. After three

  139. weeks there it went from black down to purple down to red disappeared. Nothing

  140. was broken, but it didn't have hurt. Sometimes when somebody hurts us,

  141. we draw back, but they know from the person, but also from God.

  142. When as the child hurts themselves, used to run to mummy or daddy

  143. and we get the kiss it better than me, the routine, kiss it

  144. better and it's okay now, isn't it? And then at the tears stop

  145. and the gold playing again. God wants us to run to Daddy, but

  146. when things don't go quite right, not to draw back. When the world

  147. for other people, everyone's different. Some people are nicer without grace, and

  148. some people are with grace. So when we knock along with people, something's

  149. happened, don't it. It's just it's the fact for life. But God

  150. wants us to run to him, not to run from him when those things

  151. happen. Nothing is too big for God. Nothing is too big for his

  152. love. Where God says, behold on the Lord of God, love,

  153. less's anything too hard for me? And the guy gets eyes list and goes

  154. apart from this, this, this, this, this, no, no,

  155. nothing is to be for God. That should be no list. It

  156. should just be take it to abba. Hmmah. When Peter four eight says

  157. love will cover and multitude of things. Love will cover the multitude of things,

  158. and God will do that for us. So I can encourage you to

  159. see things from God's perspective, there's a very fundamental foundational scriptures that God has

  160. to reframe our thinking. Mm hmmmmmmmmm. The foe point I've got is God's

  161. love makes us home. God's love makes us home. I like watching a

  162. lot of car programs. My wife will say about that, the fella watching

  163. car programs and the house programs. That's where I will watch on TV in

  164. our days. And a lot of car problems. I want to get to

  165. get an old car, something wrong with it. They fix the engine,

  166. they fix the breaks, they fix the suspension, they fix the transmission to

  167. bring it back to life. I just alerted it too earlier, since I've

  168. had the walking within in life where people walk with them him. People have

  169. a hard heart because something's happened in life, because life can be tough.

  170. And then there's a time where there's a transition from the kingdom of down as

  171. to the kingdom of light, and that person comes into God's workshop, as

  172. we say, and then that's when God has to work on the engine,

  173. work on the transmission, work on the suspension, work on the heart,

  174. and make us hope. God's love is all consuming. God's love is powerful,

  175. and through God's love we can't be made home. That's mind, body,

  176. soul, spirit. I'll talk about them, tell them I'll kick take

  177. as the doors right, I mean, mind, borday, soul spirit,

  178. physically, financially, socially, emotionally. God does the whole thing. Mh.

  179. This is my bible to averts on the phone. But this is the

  180. bible here, it's the is, the is the manual. When as a

  181. kid down out of car and we have just had the hay His manual for

  182. the car. So the Haynes manuer gives you all how tord to fix the

  183. car. I don't know going for carnology and plan this sin of minding.

  184. You're looking the manual to do with the various bit to fix the car hard,

  185. to strip down the head. Wherever you're doing, you fall the manual

  186. chet the talking of the nut or the spoos of the belts. You check

  187. the manual. This is our manual. M. So when we're coming to

  188. God's workshop, that's when he starts working and fixing and tweaking and repairing,

  189. of replacing. God can replace as new in the twinkling of an eye.

  190. You can heal our hearts. You do open heart scursion and make things new.

  191. Or as I did, as if it did not happen, as if

  192. it did not happen. Words of truth, words are truth, God's words.

  193. A lion full of power, doesn't it return to him? Void?

  194. You shall accompass that which you pleases and possible thing that we're warn to invent

  195. it. But those of people don't know God to speak words outoul and hurt

  196. people not deliberately. Let some people shoot from the hip and then engage a

  197. brain afterwards, which can hurt. God's words bring healing. God's words bring

  198. homeness. So we need to run to God, not from God. And

  199. God's goal is that we walk in homeness mind, body, so spirit,

  200. physically. So they financially and go say all that sort of stuff the whole

  201. thing. So it's let you roll in your car out on a fixed car

  202. onto a forecast comes to buy and go, oh look at that, How

  203. that's nice and shiny. I think wordy. I think worked is good?

  204. Mate, How which you want for it? We do a deal off?

  205. They go godnger say, look at my son, Look at my daughter.

  206. They were dead, but now they were alive, they were you know,

  207. live that I can see Look what I've done through my daughter. Look for

  208. do for my son. Look at the difference. God's in the restoration business.

  209. It restores hearts and restores souls, He restores bodies. He does that

  210. through his love that's why Jesus came. O God soul loved the world that

  211. Jesus came. Jesus came, and he had to die. The nails that

  212. went through his hands were about twenty five to thirty mili. Behold his hand

  213. up. You see a big hole in it. It wasn't like a sixty

  214. is nail from the hardware store. It was a big old nail. He

  215. knew he had to do. He do that for you, Do that for

  216. me, Do that for you. Listening on the on the live stream on

  217. recording, nothing is too difficult for God. Nothing is too difficult for God's

  218. love. Matthew fifteen thirty to thirty one says. Then great multitude came to

  219. him, having with them the lane blind, mute, maimed and many others,

  220. and laid them down at Jesus' feet, and he healed them. So

  221. the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking the name made whole the lay

  222. in walking, the blid seeing, and they glorified the God of Israel.

  223. Jesus Christ was saying, yesterday, today and forever, he hasn't changed.

  224. He's still doing this stuff. He wants to make us home. So if

  225. you've got an area which isn't at home. You've got the area God's been

  226. prodding you about. Maybe it's time to deal with the area with all the

  227. issues. We're all people, were all with all people. We just know

  228. the people. Stuff happens. God wants us home. When your whole,

  229. you can give out to those who are not home. Isn't it interesting when

  230. you've gone through a situation, a circumstance, then God has to go and

  231. pray for someonody's beat us going through that circumstance, you have empathy. You

  232. have the ability to pray with understanding of that person's situations right where not even

  233. understanding what's going before you don't have that same connection. God takes our brokenness,

  234. he makes us home, and he uses that situation for somebody else is

  235. good or like I like I tend to prey God, please turn the situation

  236. around for good. Sometimes things in life don't go as we had the thought

  237. they would have gone. But God, so I can say, God,

  238. pad, He's turned the situation around for good. And I cannot think at

  239. one time when he hasn't done that. He's done miraculous in turn things around

  240. for good. What was the potential braid, problematic situation just went away.

  241. It's a bit like the David and Glass And isn't it Disraelites? So a

  242. gliad for what seven eight foot told it was the big bruiser David Salmon's uncircumcised

  243. philistine. So for that's doing that sling and through it hitting ravity in them

  244. and on the time template, doesn't it knocked him down and dropped his head

  245. off? Does it? Hard? Move? Doesn't matter how big the jart

  246. may look. God is for us. Who can be against us. God's

  247. love works for his children in every situation of his circumstance. But we've got

  248. to walk in that level. We can't expect that, expect God's love to

  249. work for us, but we're not walking in it. That's just how it

  250. works, you know. One Classonians five twenty three, very familiar scripture.

  251. Now made the God of Peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit,

  252. soul, and body we preserve blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus

  253. Christ. That's one first Earlians five twenty three. May your whole spirits,

  254. old body preserved blameless. Just a reference to the homeless that God wants having

  255. our life, not just one part of us, it's all our every part

  256. of us, not your little tell, a little fingers, the whole person.

  257. So the last point, my favorite say, my favorite to the last.

  258. God's love never fails. God's love never fails. People may fail you,

  259. but God's love never fails. When Crintain's thirteen, I think it's verse

  260. eight pram Scriptureliac says love never fails in challenging times, He's always there.

  261. Hebrews thirteen and verse five says that he will never leave us or for sakers.

  262. That's a covenant term. We've got to go to covenant today. But

  263. he will never leave us or for sakus. When you're in the family,

  264. you're in the family. You know what I mean by that. When you're

  265. in the family, you're in the family, in God's family, You're in

  266. God's family. We're talking mafioso family, talk about God's family. When in

  267. God's family or in God's family, he will take care of He will look

  268. after us, with you to walk in his love, and he will never

  269. let us down. I God chance to remind us this morning, HM,

  270. doesn't matter what situation or circumstance that we are facing it doesn't matter. God's

  271. love will never fail. If you walk in faith, don't worry, trust

  272. God, rest in his love. He will turn that situation around. For

  273. God. Sometimes it's not pleasant when you have to walk through a situation or

  274. a circumstance. We've got to deal with the feelings. You've got what I

  275. do with the circumstance. But God's love will never fail, and God's love

  276. will get us through. It might be easy at the time, after you

  277. can turn back and reflect and see what God has done. Sometimes in the

  278. midst of the serpent as you cannot see the full picture, or after God

  279. can turn him turn like a light on it and shure you other serpents to

  280. go, look at this, Look what I did. That there you go,

  281. Oh yeah, so this morning, just share five points very quickly.

  282. God's love is unconditional. You cannot be separated from God's Love, God's Lord.

  283. God's God Love covers God's love. God's love makes us and God's love

  284. will never ever fail. H So throughout the day what's left of it anyway,

  285. allowed the Holy Spirit to the speech it about these five points plime to

  286. give you a a further revelation. Further understanding or work with you on some

  287. things WHI need to be addressed. Oh, we're all on the journey.

  288. And sometimes you need to go in for a bit of a service. And

  289. sometimes service is a difference as I'll deal with different things. Allows a bit

  290. to speak to you. You shouldn't have a couple of day afterwards. All

  291. this afternoon a line to speak to you. Don't shot off. Listen,

  292. let to speak to you. You want to talk to you, want to

  293. have a chat with you. I want to take you from where you are

  294. to where I want you to be. So I pray h m hm m

  295. hm. Although you're saying that your work, it will not return to your

  296. void, but it will accomplish that which you please, and it will prost

  297. been a thing, won't your scented? No prayer that the word this mo

  298. in the Lord, they will accompass what you please. You have touched people

  299. in this room, people watching a live stream, the people that said to

  300. it later. But they will receive from you, They receive a greater understanding

  301. and reframing their thinking of your Lord. So they can run and not weary,

  302. they can walk and not faint and become tired. They can fulfill their

  303. purpose in the Kingdom of God without walking with the room and be the people

  304. you want them to be. Are the people who they are, are the

  305. people you want them to be. Think God sends some people stretch to it.

  306. Stretch to it. Don't say you can't stretch to it. Whether that

  307. says that all things are possible, all things are possible to talk of with

  308. everything really, so stretch to it. Cheer's name
