Created by, with and to be loved pt 1

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Jason Miller

Key Scripture

1 John 4:7-12, 1 John 4:16-17

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

16 God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

Prayer

Father, thank you for today. Holy Spirit, help me to hear what you have for my life, help me discover Jesus’ love for me.

Help me to set aside the distractions of today so I can be fully present with you.

Speak Lord, I want to listen.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Believing you are loved

Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/luk.22.14-20 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Prayer Dear Lord, as we approach this table, we come humbly before You, recognizing the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Sanctify this bread and wine, and let them be for us the body and blood of Christ. May this communion strengthen our faith, deepen our love for You and for one another, and renew our spirits. Help us to remember the great cost of our salvation and to live in gratitude for Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

Key Scripture https://www.bible.com/bible/111/mat.12.46-50.niv 46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” https://www.bible.com/bible/111/mrk.2.3-5.niv 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Prayer Father, thank you for the incredible gift of love. Thank you most of all for the greatest gift of love - Jesus! Holy Spirit, help me learn to be loved by ou and help me learn to love others as you have loved me. Help me set aside distractions and to be present this morning. Speak through your word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
