WELCOME :)

Today we conclude our Simply Jesus series by looking at John 11, the story of the raising of Lazarus. This miracle reveals the heart of Jesus, the heart of Jesus who loves us. Outside of the resurrection of Jesus, this is the greatest miracle Jesus ever did. It demonstrates clearly that Jesus is our loving Savior.

In this episode, we discuss the wonder church value, "Heart for His House."  Jesus loves His church, and so do we!

DATE: December 13, 2020 TOPIC: God Loves the Underdog SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:26-56 Luke shows us God's heart that He loves the underdog. Each story in Luke highlights this, especially in the account of the foretelling of the birth of Jesus. God loves using the nobody's from nowhere through the power of His Holy Spirit, so that what is impossible with humans is possible with God.

He loves me, He loves me, He really loves me! What a beautiful night diving deep into the Lord’s relentless pursuit of us through Jesus and His unwavering love for us. It’s the miracle of knowing that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That our old heart of stone has been replaced with a new heart of flesh that beats wildly for Jesus. Knowing Jesus is far more than intellectual knowledge, it’s experiential. To know Him is intimacy, it’s freedom, it’s the fullness of joy, it’s more than we can ask to think or imagine. He thinks we are worth paying the highest price, to make us His - what a precious gift. May we continually learn to treasure this gift, not striving to “do” and “earn” it, but just “be” and “receive” it. Let the sacrifice of Jesus laying down His life on the cross for our sake be enough for us to come to Him and rest.
