Because of His Great Love

God brings dead people to life

September 15, 2024 • Matthew Allen • Ephesians 2:4–10

Give

During September, we have been looking at God’s Great Love. Today, we’ll be in Ephesians 2:4-10 - and primarily verses 4-7. In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul details our salvation and how God made it happen. He tells us how God took the initiative to save us, why He saved us, and the result of the salvation He provides. Your salvation is all in and through Jesus. There is no such thing as salvation without Christ in the middle of it.

Perfect Love

September 29, 2024 • Matthew Allen • 1 John 4:7–12

From the beginning, we were created in an exalted fashion… to be like God. This means we have been created for relationships. Just as the Trinity by nature exists in fellowship and relationship … so we have been created with the capacity for relationship. We can love others and love God. And within that is fellowship, care, sharing thoughts, attitudes, and experiences that make love the richest of all human experiences. In John 4:7-21 John presents us with the theme of perfect love.

What Shall Separate Us from His Love?

September 8, 2024 • Matthew Allen • Romans 8:35–39

Romans 8:35-39 contains the promise of God’s everlasting love. This is the climax of Paul’s greatest writing — and one of the most important doctrinal sections in Scripture — salvation is by grace through faith and not by human works. And the gist of it all is that through salvation, God has brought you into a relationship with Him. He is so powerful and loving that He will do everything possible to protect, sustain, and provide for that relationship. This allows us to stand in our salvation with great confidence.

For God So Loved

September 1, 2024 • Matthew Allen • John 3:16–17

Today, we’ll be covering one of the most familiar passages in the Bible: John 3:16. One of the reasons this verse is so widely memorized and deeply loved is that it is a remarkably full summary of the gospel. In it, we learn of danger, design, duty, and destiny.
