Love is . . . How would you finish that sentence? Or better yet, in how many different ways might you finish that sentence? Such an activity would be interesting, but even more interesting is how God himself defines love. We’re glad you’re with us today to seek a biblical definition of love, appreciate God’s love for us, and to ask his help in extending his love to others.

Airlines now proudly announce a "temporary change" to their food and beverage service. Some consultant advised them not to say, "We've canceled our food and beverage service," or, "We're not giving you anything." Why? Because our words matter. Nowhere is that truer than in the Bible. In the section of 1 John before us this weekend, John tells Christ-followers to test the spirits. How? In the first four verses of 1 John 4 he teaches us four words to help us do that. We’re so glad you’re with the people of God seeking the Holy Spirit's gift of faith through the words of God. If we can serve you in any other way, please let us know. May God bless your worship.

In a time of reason and relative morality, our hearts can sometimes lead us astray. Sometimes our hearts lead us into guilt and regret or the converse pride and arrogance. The one thing we can trust and believe with all our heart is the gospel. This week God reminds us through the apostle John that we are his and he is much greater than our understanding of him.

30,000 people were crucified the year Jesus was crucified. The heart of each person crucified stopped beating. Jesus’ heart stopped too. But there’s a difference. Three days after Jesus’ heart stopped, his heart began to beat again. That’s a difference you can live with. Join us to worship him on Good Friday and on Easter Sunday. Celebrate his heart for you.
