Piercing the Darkness - Our Love: How God Works Through Us, Part 2
We live in a very me-centered world. It’s all about what I want when I want it and what everyone else can do for me. In this program, Chip talks about the appeal and benefits of a Jesus-centered life. Learn why the counterintuitive path that Christ leads us down actually delivers the joy, peace, and love that we all long for. Main Points
Introduction:
When Jesus speaks of love the issues is not emotions, intentions, or feelings; it’s a question of loyalty. - 1 John 2:15-17
The Principle:
God must work deeply “in” you before He works significantly “through” you.
First, let God work deeply “in” you. -- Hebrews 12:1-3
Second, let God work powerfully “through” you. -- Nehemiah 1-6
Summary:
We are “the Nehemiah’s” of our day. Our sacrifices and tribulations to pierce the darkness will seem so small when we look back from eternity.
