OPENING PRAYER

Almighty Creator of all that there is, thank You for gathering Your creation with us in Worship and fellowship in the name above all names, Jesus the Christ. We pray, open our eyes, our hearts and souls to Your Holy Word on this Sabbath and Lord's Day, in HIS NAME, AMEN

MESSAGE

Through the wondrous and awesome power of prayer and of the Holy Spirit, we gather to worship our Lord, not only here in Florida, but around the world. Welcome to our first publication of the SABBATH & SUNDAY WORSHIP MESSAGE. We have gone through some forced changes in the ministry; no longer delivering multiple in-person Worship services to as many as six individual facilities on the weekends. We have had a good run of  10-years but time (read that AGE) travels with great speed. So, we will publish this form of Worship Service every Friday evening at 6 p.m. central time. To receive this written worship service each week is as simple as bookmarking the following link:

Instantly, the worship service text will appear on your computer, i-pad, or smart phone globally.     GOD IS GOOD!

So, by God's grace let us begin: "HIS LOVE" is our topic. The love of Jesus, of God the Father, is so deep yet so simple. It is endless, deeper than the outer reaches of the universe. 

 I snickered when I read the Anchor verse from Song of Solomon    Son 1:9 KJV  "I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots."

Although a very high compliment at the time of Solomon's writing; {circa: 953 b.c.}, as horses were powerful, majestic, fearless, and often very beautiful!  Without an upbringing on a ranch or perhaps out West in cowboy country, today's ladies might walk away, or take offense at such descriptive comparison. 

 The LOVE from our Lord and Savior is multi-faceted, deep, complex, endless, and born of many attributes. For instance, the Love of Jesus the Christ is:

UNCHANGEABLE - Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. {Joh 13:1 NASB}

As the only "begotten" of the Father, the Love of Jesus is:

DIVINE- "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. { Joh 15:9 NASB};

SELF-SACRIFICING- "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. {Joh 15:13 NASB};

INSEPARABLE- Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. {Rom 8:35, 37 NASB}

The sheer weight of His endless love demands of us to discipline away from the worldly, giving ourselves to Him completely and forever to the very one who made us!;

CONSTRAINING- For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. { 2Co 5:14-15 NKJV}

WHO among us would even consider, even for a second, giving ourselves up to death for perfect strangers to whom we have never met? WHO?

SACRIFICIAL- "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." {Gal 2:20 KJV}

Not only SHOWING us, and GROWING us, Jesus TEACHES and REACHES us;

ABOUNDING- May the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. {1Th 3:12-13 NASB}

SUMMARY/APPLICATION

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. {1Jn 3:16 NKJV, 14:16-17 NKJV}

Share HIM with others as you go this week. Instead of saying God Bless You, Smile broadly and tell them that JESUS LOVES YOU! It is the LOVE of others that marks us as belonging to Jesus!

CLOSING PRAYER Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank-You for the love You give us. Grant us the unfettered desire to share every drop of the love that You give us with others. Lord, we know that when we give away all the love that we have, we are immediately refilled to over flowing. Enable each of us to strive and give our love completely, even to strangers, but especially to brothers and sisters in Christ.  This we pray in the name above all names, Jesus the Christ, AMEN.

DOXOLOGY

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, Ye heav'n-ly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Amen

BENEDICTION: Num 6:24-26  May The LORD bless you, and keep you;  May The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;  May The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace. 'AMEN

Christ go with you now...until we meet again

Christ go with you now...keep praying on till then

It really doesn't matter what the weather...

Just as long as we all are TOGETHER...

Christ go with you now...Till we meet again!
