Ambassadors Are Compelled By Love
Big Truth:
Ambassadors Are Compelled By Love
1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Corinthians 13:13
Bible Verse:
For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised.
Big Ideas:
- The cross demonstrates God’s love for us.
- This love captures and compels Jesus followers.
- God’s love for us creates in us a love for the lost.
Bible Passage:
2 Corinthians 5:14-15Identity:
FOCUS – I AM AN AMBASSADOR
SERIES: GOD IS THE KING – I AM HIS AMBASSADOR
The Kneel Year is an exploration of what it means to worship God with our all (Luke 10:26-28). Worship is not something that is limited to a service once a week, but instead occurs every day, in all of life. We are unceasing worshipers. Worship never stops, it only changes directions. In order to worship God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we must embrace our identity as image bearers. It is out of that identity that we can begin to live for God’s glory in all of life (Colossians 3:17).
