131 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.160 Awareness. 132 00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:50.760 I think this is why Paul prayed 133 00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:53.080 that the eyes of our heart would be open, 134 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:54.840 that they would be flooded with light, 135 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.120 that they would be enlightened 136 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.120 because it's our awareness of God 137 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.360 and our awareness of God in us 138 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.200 and our awareness of the love he's placed in us 139 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.160 and our awareness of the power he's placed in us 140 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:12.920 that opens everything. 141 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:19.200 And so today, let's get some awareness together. 142 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.160 I'm gonna look over at the comments 143 00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:24.960 and say hello to those of you over on Facebook 144 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.840 and good morning. 145 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:28.880 Love it. 146 00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:30.000 Welcome, welcome. 147 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:30.920 So excited. 148 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.000 Say good morning. 149 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.680 Say where you're from. 150 00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:39.280 All right, let's dig in and look at this study. 151 00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:42.400 I'm so excited to share all of this with you 152 00:09:42.400 --> 00:09:47.400 as we are talking about the power of love, 153 00:09:49.640 --> 00:09:53.080 the power of love. 154 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.440 So I wanna open with a couple of verses 155 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.320 and this is an awesome one right here. 156 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.000 here.

202 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.160 And I have to tell you that it was 20 years 203 00:13:19.160 --> 00:13:22.120 in my Christian walk before I really got this. 204 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.400 I'd read the Bible cover to cover many times. 205 00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:27.160 I'd been a missionary, a teacher of the word of God, 206 00:13:27.160 --> 00:13:29.560 directing a language school 207 00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:32.440 where I taught Bible and English. 208 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:33.960 So I was so trained. 209 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.440 I'd gone to a Christian college. 210 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.520 I was so trained in the word. 211 00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:42.520 And yet one day, one 4th of July weekend, 212 00:13:43.520 --> 00:13:45.960 it was freedom weekend for me, for sure. 213 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.440 And God told me to pull down my Bible. 214 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.180 Now you see, I'd gone to the office to prepare a talk 215 00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:54.540 that I was gonna be doing in San Francisco. 216 00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:58.840 And instead God said, no, you're not gonna write that yet. 217 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.940 I want you to pull down the word 218 00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:04.120 and I want you to read these chapters. 219 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.520 And something changed. 220 00:14:05.520 --> 00:14:08.360 Remember I said at the beginning of this, that awareness, 221 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.240 it's like a light switch that flips on. 222 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:12.880 That's why we call it enlightenment. 223 00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:14.720 It's why Paul prayed the eyes of your heart 224 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.880 would be flooded with light 225 00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:18.600 because all of a sudden it's like 226 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.560 you go from darkness to light, 227 00:14:20.560 --> 00:14:22.520 from not seeing to seeing. 228 00:14:22.520 --> 00:14:24.680 And that's what happened to me 229 00:14:24.680 --> 00:14:27.440 because I looked at these gifts 230 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:31.120 and I said, that's not what I was taught 231 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.520 because it was about signs and wonders and miracles 232 00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:35.120 and things that we could do. 233 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.040 And I had never seen that in church 234 00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:39.400 and I had not been taught that. 235 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.320 It ended and I said, that's not what I was taught. 236 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.040 And the Holy Spirit said, read it again. 237 00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:47.000 And I read it again. 238 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.560 And I said, but that's not what I was taught. 239 00:14:49.560 --> 00:14:51.080 He said, read it again. 240 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.280 And the third time I said, okay, God, I desire that. 241 00:14:55.280 --> 00:14:56.920 I want that. 242 00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:59.120 And that's the day my life changed. 243 00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.960 So that's it. 244 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.700 That's 1st Corinthians 12. 245 00:15:02.700 --> 00:15:05.280 Then it's like there's this, it's a bookends. 246 00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:09.080 It picks up again in 1st Corinthians 14. 247 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.160 But in between 12 and 14, in between all the gifts, 248 00:15:13.160 --> 00:15:15.260 all the miracles, all the signs, all the wonders, 249 00:15:15.260 --> 00:15:18.000 all the healing, all the prophesying, 250 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.440 all the speaking in tongues, 251 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.080 all the understanding of the gifts, 252 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:27.080 in between there is a whole chapter dedicated to love. 253 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:29.760 1st Corinthians 13. 254 00:15:30.760 --> 00:15:35.240 And it's so fascinating that it says, you know what? 255 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.760 There's three things on this earth 256 00:15:38.760 --> 00:15:42.280 that are going to remain. 257 00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:45.360 There's three things that aren't going away. 258 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:50.360 Faith, hope, and love. 259 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.200 There's three things that remain. 260 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.940 Faith, hope, and love. 261 00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:59.940 And he says, yet love surpasses them all. 262 00:16:01.300 --> 00:16:06.300 So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize 263 00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:10.180 for which you run. 264 00:16:12.020 --> 00:16:16.260 And here's what that little B that was the note, 265 00:16:16.260 --> 00:16:17.380 the footnote says. 266 00:16:17.380 --> 00:16:21.380 It says, faith and hope both spring from love. 267 00:16:21.380 --> 00:16:22.740 Did you know that? 268 00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:25.620 Faith and hope both spring from love, 269 00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:29.580 which makes love the greatest virtue of all. 270 00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:34.580 Faith and hope are temporary, but love is eternal. 271 00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:39.780 So the one thing that is going to remain 272 00:16:39.780 --> 00:16:44.280 is the most important, the highest choice is grace. 273 00:16:44.280 --> 00:16:48.060 So shouldn't we really have an understanding of love? 274 00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:49.760 Shouldn't we study love? 275 00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:53.000 Shouldn't we make love a practice? 276 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.880 So the Jews were, at the time of Jesus, 277 00:16:57.880 --> 00:17:02.880 were very, very, very detailed in recording. 278 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.000 They had the scribes, they had the Pharisees, you know, 279 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.440 and they had a lot of argument and all of that. 280 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.839 And they would kind of, you know, 281 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.920 just argue about how the T's were crossed 282 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:17.440 and the I's were dotted. 283 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:22.440 And so they approached Jesus and they say, teacher, rabbi, 284 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.800 which kind of commandment is great and important? 285 00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:30.120 The principal kind in the law. 286 00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:31.520 And it goes on to explain, you know, 287 00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:34.680 there's some commandments that are light, 288 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.080 but which are heavy. 289 00:17:37.080 --> 00:17:39.160 So they're really trying to get in with Jesus 290 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.960 and say, hey, what commandment is important? 291 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.160 And Jesus said, love the Lord your God 292 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.760 with every passion of your heart, 293 00:17:49.760 --> 00:17:52.920 with all the energy of your being, 294 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.680 with every thought that is within you. 295 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.840 And that word love also means worship, right? 296 00:18:00.840 --> 00:18:03.320 And so what's most important? 297 00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:05.640 If you were gonna like bottom line it, 298 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.480 Jesus just bottom line what matters, what's important?

Sticky glue forever. 486 00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:02.560 He chases you. 487 00:29:02.560 --> 00:29:07.600 Do you remember in the Garden of Eden when when when Adam and Eve had sinned? 488 00:29:08.600 --> 00:29:13.160 And do you remember that they were afraid and they were ashamed? 489 00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:15.320 Two of the things most crippling things, right? 490 00:29:15.320 --> 00:29:16.240 They had shame. 491 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:21.640 They they covered their nakedness with their big leaf and and they were afraid. 492 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.760 They tried to hide behind the. 493 00:29:23.760 --> 00:29:26.560 So here they are hiding like we do from God. 494 00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:31.960 Hiding fear, shame, guilt, remorse, hiding. 495 00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:33.560 I just don't want to see God. 496 00:29:33.560 --> 00:29:37.200 I'm hiding because I don't feel good about myself. 497 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:39.920 And what did Jesus do? 498 00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.320 He chased them down. 499 00:29:42.320 --> 00:29:44.360 Adam, my son, where are you? 500 00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.880 Where are you? 501 00:29:46.800 --> 00:29:48.640 I love you. Where are you? 502 00:29:48.840 --> 00:29:52.160 Do you think that he, God, didn't know where they were? 503 00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:54.240 He's omnipresent. 504 00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:55.240 He's omniscient. 505 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.560 He knew exactly why did he ask that? 506 00:29:57.560 --> 00:29:59.240 Why did he speak that? 507 00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.400 So they would know that there's no place you can go 508 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:04.440 that God's love is in, 509 00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:05.920 that no matter what you've done, 510 00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.080 he's still chasing you down. 511 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.520 Relentless lover will not let go. 512 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:20.000 And this love covers a multitude of sins. 513 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.640 Look at this verse. 514 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:26.280 This is an amazing verse. 515 00:30:26.280 --> 00:30:31.280 It says, above all, constantly echo 516 00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:35.000 God's intense love for one another. 517 00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.920 For love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins. 518 00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:43.880 That's 1 Peter 4, 8 in the Passion Translation. 519 00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:48.160 I love that idea that we echo God's intense love 520 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:50.000 for one another, right? 521 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.620 It's like, it just, you know how an echo goes? 522 00:30:52.620 --> 00:30:55.240 It starts, let's just say God starts it. 523 00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.740 I love you, right? 524 00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:59.620 But the echo, I love you, love you, love you, 525 00:30:59.620 --> 00:31:02.460 love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you. 526 00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:03.540 Right? 527 00:31:03.540 --> 00:31:08.540 Like what a cool metaphor that we echo God's love. 528 00:31:11.300 --> 00:31:15.620 And the footnote there says the Greek verb echo 529 00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:18.900 can also mean maintain, possess, keep, 530 00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:21.300 or to be so closely joined to something 531 00:31:21.300 --> 00:31:23.300 that you become its echo. 532 00:31:24.280 --> 00:31:27.320 You know, we've seen another metaphor is reflection. 533 00:31:27.320 --> 00:31:29.320 We're a reflection of God. 534 00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:31.520 We're an echo of God. 535 00:31:31.520 --> 00:31:34.840 We're an extension of God. 536 00:31:34.840 --> 00:31:39.840 We are God living out in flesh. 537 00:31:40.280 --> 00:31:44.360 And so we join ourselves so closely to God's love 538 00:31:44.360 --> 00:31:47.580 that we echo his forgiving. 539 00:31:47.580 --> 00:31:52.580 We echo his fervent love toward one another. 540 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:58.960 How beautiful, how beautiful. 541 00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:02.060 This is agape love. 542 00:32:02.060 --> 00:32:04.720 This is agape love. 543 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.080 And we're gonna pick up with this next Tuesday. 544 00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:10.360 This is agape love. 545 00:32:10.360 --> 00:32:15.360 This is a term that is defining unconditional love. 546 00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:21.360 It's the highest form of love, of charity, 547 00:32:26.580 --> 00:32:29.100 of love of God. 548 00:32:29.100 --> 00:32:33.100 So as you go forth today, 549 00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:38.020 I love for you to think about those two metaphors. 550 00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:41.180 The metaphor of the waterfall, 551 00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:43.860 that at the top of the waterfall is God. 552 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.760 He's our source. 553 00:32:45.760 --> 00:32:49.160 He's a never failing, never ending source. 554 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.400 And he is love. 555 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.640 He can be nothing else but love. 556 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:54.620 So in the top of this waterfall, 557 00:32:54.620 --> 00:32:57.680 this cascade is love. 558 00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.600 And the second part of the waterfall is us. 559 00:33:01.600 --> 00:33:03.520 And it says in scripture 560 00:33:03.520 --> 00:33:07.280 that he has poured his love into our heart. 561 00:33:07.280 --> 00:33:10.760 So this never ending source of unconditional love, 562 00:33:10.760 --> 00:33:13.320 you can't make him love you any less. 563 00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:14.500 It's unfailing. 564 00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:15.520 He never leaves you. 565 00:33:15.520 --> 00:33:17.220 He never forsakes you. 566 00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:20.460 You cannot separate yourself from his love. 567 00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:23.340 Nothing can separate you from his love. 568 00:33:23.340 --> 00:33:27.380 So this source of love is being poured into your heart. 569 00:33:28.500 --> 00:33:31.300 And as we open our heart to receive it, 570 00:33:31.300 --> 00:33:34.500 it just keeps pouring and pouring and pouring. 571 00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:37.600 And it spills right through us 572 00:33:37.600 --> 00:33:40.720 into the third cascade of the waterfall, 573 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:43.660 which is to our neighbor. 574 00:33:43.660 --> 00:33:48.280 What scripture defines as anyone that God has brought close, 575 00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:51.600 both emotionally or in proximity. 576 00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:56.000 Everybody he brings into your sphere 577 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:58.720 is a divine appointment to allow God's love 578 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:03.720 to pour from the source through you and to that person. 579 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.640 Think about that cascade of waterfall, 580 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.239 that beautiful waterfall. 581 00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.239 And think about the metaphor we just saw with the echo. 582 00:34:16.620 --> 00:34:17.960 God has poured love. 583 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:19.719 He has spoken love. 584 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:21.960 He is love. 585 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:25.440 And he's saying, I love you. 586 00:34:26.540 --> 00:34:31.440 And I want you just to hear God's voice saying, I love you.
