I have a tendency, as of late, to over-prepare, over-script, and over-note messages.

The last couple of weeks I’ve tried to remove the over-script, over-note component and deliver a message from the overflow of the over-prepare component.

If that makes any sense at all to you give yourself 5 bonus points.

The result has been shorter message notes.

• Faith in Jesus Christ always PRODUCES the gift of love in us.

1 John 3:11-18 teaches us to . . .

• You cannot really TRUST (or follow) Jesus Christ without loving his people.
• Love is the foundation of our fellowship TOGETHER and our ministry to this WORLD.

Romans 12:9-13 teaches us to . . .

   Amen. For some reason in the past at hopefully not too many places, our fellowship fostered the idea that in the name of doctrinal purity, its O.K. to be nasty as long as you love God.
