Message for June 7, 2026 from Pastor Shirley

For God so ‘loved’ the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16                                                                                     

SPIRIT FILLED LIFE BIBLE – WORD WEALTH LOVED “agapo” Unconditional love love by choice and by an act of the will. The word denotes unconquerable benevolence and undeatable good will but the highest good for fellow mankind. agapao(the verb and agape (the noun) are the words for God’s unconditional love. It does not need chemistry, an affinity or a feeling. Agapao is a word that exclusively belongs to the Christian community. It is a love virtually unknown to writers outside the New Testament.

NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD!  Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?  Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.  Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors [a]and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.  For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,  Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
