Crossroad Church Aspen G3 Gathering Friday Night Session February 1, 2019  PJ Smyth speaking on Community and Power. Luke 7:36-50

This week Steve started a new series and talked about the amazing truth that God desires to communicate with us and for us to enjoy being in His presence. For many of us, we have not learned “how” nor have we experienced these blessings.

This week Steve talked about how Saving Faith, Sanctifying Faith, and Empowering Faith all work together to build healthy community and how we pursue them.

This week Steve talked about the importance of pursuing God’s design for sex through the power of the Gospel for the cleansing and healing of our fractured identities, marriages, and communities.

This week Steve talked about the importance of developing the right attitude toward church and how it is an intimate part of experiencing community

This week Steve talked about how the Gospel integrates our Past, Present and Future with Faith, Love and Hope so we can be whole selves rather than a committee of selves and give encouragement to others.

This week Steve finished the four-week series, How Do We Love One Another? by talking about what it looks like to live in loving community with one another rather than continue in our independence and isolation.

This week Steve talked about the two main barriers that keep us from loving ourselves and keep us from loving our neighbor. They also are the main barriers that keep us from receiving God’s love.

This week Steve talked about four key areas in our lives that are major indicators of how we are loving God and obeying the great commandment.

This week Steve talked about the two primary ways that people pursue fulfillment by either religious duty or self-discovery and that Christianity is something altogether different where we actually experience the love of the Father.
