Well, hey, Upper Room. Happy New Year. Kevin Tips here, and I am pumped that you are about to listen to this podcast.

This message is from my friend Joshua David, Joshua and May David, pastor, the Upper Room community in India, and he is such a remarkable man, preacher, father, husband, leader.

And in this message, he shares on growing in love what it means to position ourselves,

to grow in receiving love from God and expressing our love back to him,

but even deeper what it looks like to grow in our love for one another

and ultimately to love the world, to love sinners.

And so I bless you as you listen just to be encouraged and edified, built up, maybe a little

convicted and exhorted, to step up and into greater love.

May the love of God be multiplied for you, in you, and through you as you receive from the Lord through this message. So I bless you.

You know, I want you to understand that when Jesus said that I will build my church, he had a plan in his mind.

The blueprint of church is not something that you and I get to participate into.

In the making of it. He made the blueprint. He remains the head of the body.

And we have the privilege and honor to be the co-laborers with jesus christ amen we don't spearhead a

movement it is jesus who moves who does it all we do is we run along with him and we obey his instructions

we follow his instructions and great results happen

and people say man you are greatly anointed no no no I am just following Jesus amen I believe that

today what Lord is going to do in our midst is going to set our hearts in alignment

with the purpose of God

that God wants to establish this house into.

Isn't it amazing that out of all the words

that universe has,

God decided to choose one word
