Real Gospel - Be Real - Steven Gibbs | Stonecreek Church

We all long for something deeper in our lives and relationships, and thankfully, there is Someone who satisfies that deep well of longing. This past Sunday, Pastor Steven Gibbs talked about what it means to have a real, living relationship with God Almighty. We learned about the real gospel, real Christianity, and what a real relationship with Jesus looks like. The invitation to know Him as our savior and friend is up to us – it just begins with us showing up.

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
