H2O Church
This is part 2 of this series, as we look at God. Not religion, not rules, but God Himself. In this talk, we'll look at the love of God.
Ephesians 3:16-21 ESV
This shows us…
the priority of love
the power of love
the foundation of love
the effect of love
the glory of love
Oswald Chambers; When we preach the love of God there is the danger of forgetting that the Bibles not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.”
