What does it mean to be Genuine? - Sunday Message Series: 4/19 - 5/17

Submitted by Rob on April 17, 2009 - 2:56pm.

“Godliness leads to love for other Christians, and finally you will grow to have genuine love for everyone.” 2 Peter 1:7

What does it mean to be genuine? Does it give us a free pass to trample on those around us while saying? “I’m just being who I am!”? There is a big difference between self-love and genuine love. Genuine love as Peter describes is a godly love for everyone. How do you know the difference?

April 19 - Self-love creates division. Genuine love lives in unity.
April 26 - Self-love establishes boundaries. Genuine love establishes peace.
May 3 - Self-love tolerates injustice of others. Genuine love seeks justice for all.
May 10 - Self-love holds power. Genuine love empowers others.
May 17 - Self-love lives for pleasure. Genuine love births joy.

Don’t settle for a counterfeit life. Come learn how to be Genuine.

Genuine Love requires birthing Joy!
Submitted by Rob on May 19, 2009 - 9:32am.

“I have committed myself to joy. I have come to realize that those who make space for joy, those who prefer nothing to joy, those who desire the utter reality, will most assuredly have it. We must not be afraid to announce it to refugees, slum dwellers, saddened prisoners, angry prophets. Now and then we must even announce it to ourselves. In this prison of now, in this cynical and sophisticated age, someone must believe in joy.”

May God bless us with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that we may reach out our hands to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.
