These are sermons from RUF at UVa's Large Group meeting. RUF at UVa is a community of students seeking to learn how to love God, how to love others, and how to love this world. And yet, we are bound by the even deeper conviction that God actually loves us, that He loves our neighbors, and that He loves this world. This conviction is rooted in the person of Jesus Christ, who is the revelation of God's love and intentions for His creation. So, whether you are committed to, cynical toward, or curious about the Christian faith, RUF aspires to provide a place for every student to encounter and experience the love of Jesus.
