Uncommon Fellowship: Love One Another

Sunday we come to the end of our "Uncommon Fellowship" series and I pray that we have begun to grasp how deep, and wide and long God's love is and that our uncommon united hearts, are a living testimony to a broken world of this extraordinary love. Looking back this series has revealed two things; first of all, we really are not very good at these one-anothers. Secondly, who knew it was going to be so deeply personal to so many. The truth is that I think we were faced with the tension between the Christian we want to be and the Christian we really are. This is made more difficult when confronted with the Biblical expectation for being a disciple. The preaching team will tell you that this theme of "Love" appears 4-5 times a year, mostly because I believe we are still learning how to do it well. We live in the shadow of love definitions that are conditional and find them much more comfortable than God's expectation of unconditional love. So let me ask, what would it take for God or some one else to prove their love to you? What would it take to convince others that we really loved them? The reality is there is an intertwining of Gods love and our love for others, the second is dependent on the first. Otherwise, its only situational or circumstantial love.
Join us Sunday as we wrap up what it looks like to be
Uncommon in our extraordinary love for others.
