June 25 Evening Service (Johnny Fisher)

Sermon Recording: God Loves US as much as he loves Himself (Eph 2:1-9)
Powerpoint Slides: here

Summary:
God's internal, Trinitarian love extends to humanity.
Humanity responded by self-glorification rather than God glorification so the presence of God's Trinitarian love becomes destruction rather than glorifying.
Christ became human God-glorifying ... example, but more than just that.

God views us as totally forgiven, alive in Christ, raised with Christ ... deed done.
But we see ourselves behaving contrary to identity when we sin ...
  • sometimes as unhealthy guilt ... God must be angry with us again
  • sometimes as healthy ... we are not as we should be, God, in your love change us.
This is receiving forgiveness that has already been completely given.

Leads to ... how do we see others? ... as God does, forgiven, or as we see ourselves ...
behaving contrary to our identity.
