Last Sunday I had the opportunity to teach in all three of our main gatherings here at church.  I always appreciate the opportunity to teach.  For me part of the process is unlocking the creative imagery for whatever topic we are discussing…  This week we used the book by Maurice Sendak, “Where the Wild things are” to help illustrate the teaching time.  Here is the video that was seen in the morning gatherings and was supposed to be seen in the evening gathering.

This week we were talking about God’s Love.  Here are a couple thoughts and questions to think about…

• How often do you run to where the wild things are?
• How does it make you feel to be reminded of the truth found in Romas 5:8? “But God demonstrates His own love toward us that even when we were sinners Christ died for us.”
• You have never experienced a loveless day in your life!
• Which lie do you have the hardest time not believing?
  • I’m to dirty for God to love me
  • Everyone else is against me, my world is falling apart, God can’t love me in all this
  • If I’m good enough I can earn God’s love
• How does understanding the depth of God’s love for you motivate you to love others?  Should it?  Does it?
• 1 John 4:11 “If God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”

Just some good Wednesday morning thoughts…  What do you think?
