This Week | April 26 – May 2, 2024
April 28 | Romans – Grasping The Gospel, Romans 5:6-11, Part 14: God Really Loves Us – Pastor Mark Pospisil
Synopsis:It is hard for our mind to understand the depth of God’s love. Some of us wonder if God really does love us and how we can know that. We do not have to guess if God loves us. First, He tells us repeatedly that He loves us and His love endures forever. Second, the Lord has proven and showed us the intensity of His love through the death of Jesus. While we were His enemies, Christ died for us. There is nothing like the love of God. His love is better than life. As we continue on our series through Romans, we are going to see that God really loves us and what that means for our lives.
Fighter Verse: Romans 5:8 – “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ”
