We are all Called to Love

Many who have accepted Jesus have experienced hurt at the hands of fellow believers. But is true freedom possible? Can we truly live unoffendable lives? Can we genuinely love our enemies? And can we be a people so marked by love that the world recognizes us by how we care for one another?

It's about Relationship
This is the only way His love will flow through you and into others. There is nowhere else to get it. You can't get it from going to church, paying a tithe, or doing great works. Nothing can replace intimacy with the Father.

Jesus Did Not Act In His Own Strength Or Will

He Was Absolutely Dependent On Holy Spirit! Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River... At that very moment, something incredible happened. Holy Spirit came on Him like a dove. He was filled with Holy Spirit. That was the beginning of His ministry. He performed no miracles before that time. After being led into the wilderness by Holy Spirit, He was tempted for 40 days. He came back completely under the influence of and controlled by Holy Spirit. If it was good for Jesus to be filled, under the influence, and completely controlled by Holy Spirit, then it is good for you to be as well. This gift was not just for Jesus, but for all who believe in Jesus.
