"A Whole New Game"
Psalm 22: 25-31 and 1 John 4: 7-21
1 John 4: 9
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4: 18-21
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
The "pitching clock" has changed baseball.
It has made the game more thrilling, more enjoyable.
Christ's life, death, and resurrection
have changed the game for believers.
The new game is played without fear.
Jesus was the sacrifice
that removed fear of punishment.
He changed the game.
BE A GAME CHANGER.
SACRIFICE SELF and LIVE LIKE JESUS.
Focus on relationships.
HELP OTHERS EXPERIENCE
ACCEPTANCE, PEACE, INSPIRATION, JOY.
Put a face on love.
Let others see the love of Jesus in your face,
in the little things you do every single day.
WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.
BUT, UNITED (FOLLOWING JESUS),
WE ARE THE POWER OF GOD.
