Christianity has a brand problem outside the church and an identify problem inside the church
Choose to be followers of Jesus (a disciple)
Christians look for loopholes
Christina use God’s Word to avoid doing God’s Will
Christina use God’s Word to avoid doing God’s Will
What does love require of me?
The brilliance of Jesus’ statement found in our own personal experience
You are who you are today because of those who hurt you and those who loved you
Many people hurt by those who believed the right things
Our greatest leverage: Our behavior
Somewhere along the way, Jesus followers shifted focus from behave to believe
Lives changed by how we behave
Disciples not content with believing: Disciples seek to make a difference
What does love require of me?
LOVE REQUIRES: I don’t do anything that will hurt me
If you hurt you - then you hurt your Heavenly Father
I belong to God.
LOVE REQUIRES: I don’t do anything that will hurt others
THEY belong to God
LOVE REQUIRES: I will not be mastered by anything
Whatever it takes
When we leverage anything other than love, we lose our leverage
Decide to LEVERAGE LOVE: To love one another above all else
