For God So Loved the World...

Series: Coffee Cup Christianity

Summary

In the second series of "Coffee Cup Christianity" David McQueen explores the misunderstood concept of God's love using John 3:16 as a central theme “For God so loved the world…” In looking at this scripture outside of context, one can interpret God's love in ways that align with personal desires, rather than its true meaning. Pastor David emphasizes the need to surrender to Jesus' leadership to receive God's love. He draws parallels between natural birth and spiritual rebirth, highlighting the importance of a fresh start and being forgiven. God's love is received through embracing the reality of being condemned and perishing due to sin. The cross's significance is explained as a symbol of God's love, paying the price for humanity's sins. Listen to understand more about God's love and its transformative power for your life!

But God in His love paid the price our sins deserved. He made Himself a   for us - paid the debt of out sin. That is why His death on the cross in love.

His love made a way for us to be     to start over in right relationship with Him.
