"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
1 John 4:10
Yesterday, we kicked off a new series at The Rock entitled, Beyond Measure. Many people have a distorted view of God's love. We tend to have a very us-focused view of God's love, like he is some genie in a bottle waiting to make us as happy as possible - and when he doesn't, we are disappointed. Or, we can't imagine a God that is personal and instead picture him to be an angry God, out for vengeance and punishment, waiting for us to mess up so that he can inflict his wrath on us.
1 John shows us what the true nature of God's love is and that is what we are hoping to share with our students over the next four weeks. Please be praying that God will reveal his true love to us in this series.
