The importance of Loving King Jesus with all of our
heart, in seasons of rest and in seasons of trials.
The Word of God is replete with verses on loving our
God supremely. We might speak of loving our God, but
do we demonstrate that love? This is what I want you
to concentrate on as I preach this message. God is
not interested in lip service, but in heart (love)
service, loving Him with our hearts! Not in saying
that we love Him, but in demonstrating that love to
Him. Not in talking about love but walking in love.
If we grasp anything from this message, it's how deep
is my love for my Savior, who loved me and gave
Himself for me? May our love and devotion to Him be
kindled, or if you wish, let us put a log of love in
our hearts in order to keep the fire burning in our
souls for Him! Let us take the words of the Apostle
Paul and apply it to our hearts. Eph.3:17-19, “That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to
comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height; And to know the love
of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fulness of God.” May God grace us
to love Him above all things and above all persons.
Let now look at the trials and triumphs of
Mephibosheth, so that perhaps we can learn something
about how to LOVE the King!
I have 3 things I want to set before you this
morning:
I. Loving the King with a Fixed Affection.
(Passion – Devotion)
II. Loving the King with a Fixed Allegiance
(Pledge – Dedication)
III. Loving the King with a Fixed Adoration
