Concerning Love – By Pastor Roy Esposito

Psalms 32 (Passion)

1 John 1:9

Acts 17:28-29 (Passion)

Psalms 89:14 (Passion)

Throne – God’s Authority

Righteousness – God’s standard for being

Justice  – the application of that standard

Foundationally  – God’s authority draws it’s strength from the purity and holiness of His ways, not just in “idea” form but through their application.

Revelation 2:2-5

John 13:35  – Our first Love

Sin – Self-focused : When we sin we are focused on ourselves  –  not God or others

Anthony of Padua – “Of what value is learning that does not lead to love?”

Brennan Manning  – “The truth of faith has little value when it is not also the life of the heart.”

Matthew 24:10-12  – “Cold Lovers”  – don’t desire Jesus any longer so they don’t pray for restoration and healing.

Micah 7:19

Drawing from the deep well of the Holy Spirit within : “Our Present Risenness” – B. Manning

Our Prayer: “God, please awaken me to be conscience of Your Presence.”

Mark 9:23  – “All things are possible to him that believes”

Sin – keeps us in hiding and from seeing our “True Selves”

“We don’t see things as they are . We see them as we are.” – PR

Sin – is the fuel that feeds the “Imposter”

Confession – removes condemnation which sets our spirits free

Freedom  – allows us to draw from the well of “living water” which brims over to whomever God puts around us so that they become free and delivered from enslavement to their own personal Imposter.

“When we are free to love, love sets those loved free.” – PR

Hebrews 10:24-25 (Passion)

1 Peter 4:8 (NKJV)  — Love: the antidote for sin.

1 Corinthians 13

1 Peter 4:7-8 (Passion)

YHVH – God: more than a concept – Our breath
