God is love, love fulfills the law, and it is the love of God that we are invited to abide or live in daily. Apostle Paul describes what love is and what it is not. In this message, Matt goes through the "love chapter" of 1 Corinthians 13, highlighting the magnificent characteristics of love that are expressed through us as we choose to live the way of love.

Love is an unfailing power, and we as followers of Jesus and hosts of the Holy Spirit have the ability to choose to love people in various ways. One of those ways is to celebrate and rejoice in and with others, particularly those in the household of faith.

In this fourth part of The Way of Love series, Matt reads the Apostle John's beautiful understanding of the essence of God and the motivation and action of God all being love. The love that supersedes feeling, emotion where He has chosen to love and demonstrate that love to us. In turn, we are invited to live in His love and share it with others. This is the way of love, choosing to love others from the overflow of the love that has filled us.

Guest Speakers Lori and Barry Byrne from Nothing Hidden Ministries share on taking spiritual authority as sons and daughters of God.

We have been loved by God with a magnificent love. A love beyond feeling from God, that set in motion the coming of Jesus and His actions of love and sacrifice. Love is an action word. It is not a passive emotion, but action and motion. Loving others demonstrates that we abide in God, and God abides inside of us.

As children of God, made in the image of God and filled with His Spirit, we have love to give. Today, Matt highlights the Apostle John's instruction to not direct our love toward things in the world, but rather toward one another. This is the "new" commandment that Jesus established, to find ways to love one another, fulfilling all of the law. GIVE HERE - https://awake.church/give

The closest disciple to Jesus and the one who received the greatest revelation from Jesus is the Apostle John.

In this sermon series, explore this way of love that Jesus lived and invited us into with Him. GIVE HERE - https://awake.church/give

When others offer us mercy, it is easy to give it back in return. What measure of mercy do we naturally have to give for those who are judgmental? Mercy that triumphs over judgment is a supernatural Kingdom offering that we give to others by receiving it from God first. In this message, Debbie Peterson dives into how we receive mercy that we can freely receive and give away. GIVE HERE - https://awake.church/give

Christmas is about the revealing of the Savior. A supernatural love and presence of God gave mankind a supernatural Savior - both fully man and fully God, born as a baby. He was prophesied and awaited for a thousand years and when He arrived, He came in the middle of the night, laid in a manger as the bread from heaven, the lamb of God and the light of the world that would give life to the world.

In part two, we are continuing our focus on the person of Jesus, His roles, His love and His action. Jesus is the King of all Kings, and the one with all authority in heaven and earth, who came as King and redeemer of our lives. He has redeemed us and purchased us from slavery out of love for us, so that we would welcome Him as King of our hearts and lives. GIVE HERE - https://awake.church/give

The creator of the heavens and the earth is also the savior of the world. Jesus, the highest name of all, means Salvation. He is the Savior of the world. He is the Light of the world and He is Resurrection and Life. He is above all and through Him all things are held together. The greatest mystery of all is that we can be united with Him - living in union with the Lord of all.
