Love is a powerful word we throw around daringly. We tend to think it describes a feeling or sensation but in the Christian life, love is the heartbeat of a life of sacrifice and a lifelong training of our will. This sermon opens up a season of reflection at Grassroots on Christian love. We begin simply by looking and listening to the love of the Master as He moves away from patterns of self-protection, self exaltation and self-righteousness. By looking more closely at the story of the feeding of the 5,000 in the Gospel of Matthew, we see the extent Jesus was willing to go to tell a broken world that God is love.
