People and the Cross Pt. 4: People who love God

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the true essence of loving God. It's not just about saying we love Him, but about demonstrating that love through our actions and desires. The sermon takes us through Mark 14:12-16, where Jesus' disciples prepare for the Passover. This seemingly simple account reveals profound truths about our relationship with God. We're challenged to examine whether we genuinely want to please and honor the Lord in all aspects of our lives. Do we approach God's commandments as burdensome, or do we see them as opportunities to express our love? The message emphasizes that true love for God manifests in a desire to obey Him, even when it doesn't make sense to us. We're encouraged to trust God's specific instructions and step out in faith, just as the disciples did when looking for the Passover room. This sermon invites us to reflect on our own faith journey and ask ourselves: Are we truly living as overcomers in Christ, or are we merely going through religious motions?
