We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4.21

We are learning what it means to Love First in this current series. Christians ought to be the first responders of God’s love. We strive to love in difficulties, distress and even the ugliness that sin and wrong can bring. As first responders we accept the responsibility to love others and to take God’s love everywhere we go.

Love is not always going to be the easy thing to do. It is the right thing to do. Love takes risks and accepts the possibility of rejection. Love never quits, It never lets up. It never let’s go or stops believing. Love responds.

Some of the books that have influenced our series are:

EP67: Bonus Midweek Conversation With Cole and Kaitlen Rhoades by First Baptist Church Sweetwater

Tique and Jerry sit down for this week’s conversation to talk about the upcoming series, Love First. The series begins Sunday, September 23 at First Baptist Church, 213 East 3rd Street. Worship is at 10:30 AM and Bible Classes are at 9:15.

In this series we will learn to navigate in the tension of loving first rather than criticizing or judging. Loving first is not the easiest thing to do.

It’s just the right thing to do.

What if you continue the journey?

There is no conclusion to the “What if….?” journey. It is a journey that is deeply personal and rewarding beyond belief. When we start to imagine the possibilities of a relationship with God we start to see ourselves and others differently. Our life view changes.

Maybe we would be enabled to look past our doubts, obstacles and fears and passionately pursue God in ways that were unknown to us previously. Over the last few weeks I have repeated often, “if you aren’t happy where you are, then why do you stay there.” What if you moved on? What if you experienced God’s future as a part of his Kingdom plan. Full participation in all that God has created.

What if you started now focusing on a renewed future with God?
