Sermon February 2 2025 "The Love of Christ"

Last week I said we use the word “church” in a lot of different ways. “Love” is another word like that – it means a lot of different things to everybody! Who knows where they come up with those meanings, sometimes? But in the Bible, there really is only one basic meaning of “love,” and one basic picture that all the other pictures of “love” in the Bible build on – Jesus, dying on the cross so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
