Summary
As we end our week on Jesus’ High Priestly prayer, today we’ll dive into his desire for us to know the Father’s great love. Knowing the love of God for us is essential to healthy Christian living. God’s love is fundamental to our identity as his children and the sacrifice of Jesus. If we aren’t rooted and grounded in the unconditional love of God, we will be like untethered buoys being tossed about in the sea. It may seem elementary that God loves you, but I’d encourage you to open your heart afresh to this reality, that God could reveal his love to you in a real and new way today.
Our Scripture for today comes from 1 John 4:16, and today's worship is Met By Love by United Pursuit featuring Brandon Hampton and Michael Ketterer.
