Revolutions are usually ignited by one person or by a very small group of people who are dissatisfied with things the way they are and are unwilling to tow the line for the sake of tradition. They believe something can and must change and they keep promoting their ideas until a groundswell begins and ultimately changes the situation, often in radical ways.
Jesus was seen as a revolutionary, a radical teacher, even a madman. But his love towards people turned the world upside down. In John 13 v 34-35, Jesus is recorded as saying this to his disciples:
"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
The question is - How did Jesus love His disciples?
During this teaching series, we will be looking at what it means to love one another Jesus' way and how to put it into practice in every day life. Our aim is that we learn to receive God's love in greater measure and become infectious through the way we relate to those around us. It all starts with us, our homes and with the family life of the church. It presents a challenge to us to live in the opposite spirit - opposite to negativity, selfishness, rejection, despair and such destructive forces that are so often prevalent in our world. God's love opposes these things bringing hope and a sense of welcome, wellbeing and belonging into people's lives. His love is faithful, unconditional, practical, and so much more.
Our aim is to see this church full of people that allow the love of God to run rampant in their own lives such that it spills out and infects every person we meet.
We want to see a Love Revolution!
