1-God’s Love is meant to be experienced in very personal ways, and we are to express it to others.

A. A Love Surpasses Knowledge

B. How Wide Is God’s Love?

C. How Deep Is God’s Love?

D. How Long Is God’s Love? His love endures FOREVER!

2-We Are To Be Rooted In God’s Selfless Love.

Most things try to get us rooted in what pulls us away from God and keeps us from loving like God loves. Tradition, Ritual, Doctrine, Theology, Programs, Activities, Leadership, Authority, Moralism, Legalism, Political Activism, Fear, Control, 

If We Lack the Love of God, We Gain Nothing!

3-If I Am Rooted In Love Then Love Is What I Draw Upon. Our strength and endurance comes from the Love Of God! 

A-When we are rooted in love our first response is to act in love.

B-God Does Immeasurably More Than We Could Ever Ask or Imagine.

God delights in over-delivering for His people!

A Good Measure: This means giving more than the bare minimum. Showing abundance and generosity.

Pressed Down: This means the grain was not loosely poured into the container. Without gaps, symbolizing fullness and completeness.

Shaken Together: Shaking the grain allowed the grain to settle, making room for more. That’s our God!

Running Over: An overflowing of abundance, more than what the container could hold.

This is how God loves to give. He loves to give us immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.
