Summary

As we wrap up our week on loving people, we look today at how we can love the Church as God does. Jesus says we will be known by the way we love each other. Would people know you’re a Christian by the way you love your brothers and sisters? People are messy, it’s true. We all are. And yet Jesus saw our worth and loved us in the midst of our messiness. How can you mimic that same love today as you seek to love his Church? Today we’ll look at the perspective and affections of Jesus for his people. May our hearts and minds be transformed as a result.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 13:35. Today's worship is King of my Heart by Steffany Gretzinger.

Thank you for listening to today’s podcast, the last in our week-long series titled, Love Does.

I hope this week has been empowering and fruitful, and that another life has been impacted

because of this time you’re investing, seeking after God’s heart.

Tomorrow we’re beginning a brand new series, simply seeking to stir up our affections for God.

I pray that the simplicity of God’s goodness draws you even closer to him.

Make sure to subscribe to the podcast so you won’t miss any of these daily guides to God’s presence. And if it’s been a while, rate and review the podcast so someone else can find this

space we’re making for God’s presence.

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
