THE POINT EXISTS TO WELCOME THE UNCHURCHED TO BECOME FULLY DEVOTED FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.

FOLLOWING JESUS IS MORE ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR YOU…THAN YOUR LOVE FOR HIM.  

John 11:1-5, “Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.  It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.  

Therefore the sisters sent a message to him (Jesus), saying, ‘Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.’  When Jesus heard that, he said, ‘This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’ 

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.”

“Lord, behold, the one YOU love is sick.”  

John 3:16, “For God SOOO LOVED the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”  

“world” means “sinful system.”  

Luke 5:8, “Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m such a sinful man.”  

1 John 4:10, This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
