Show Notes
Pastor Erwin McManus brings us a deeply moving message on the power of love. From the streets of Mexico City, he unpacks a passage in Philippians 3:7-9. Pastor Erwin asks us: Is there something in our lives that we love more than everything else? He states that this is how Paul, the author of Philippians, explains the love he’s found in God.
When we are young, we go from loving things to loving experiences, and then eventually – with maturity – we love relationships. Paralleling the idea that you cannot learn the streets of a city unless you walk them yourself, Pastor Erwin instructs us that we won’t get to know God and his love unless we know take time to know Him personally.
In Philippians, Paul states two different ways he knows God: cognitively and intimately. Pastor Erwin explains that we will never know a love worth everything until we move from having the knowledge of God to having intimacy with God. This kind of love moves toward a life of sacrifice. The beauty of love is that it is willing to love without guarantee of return. Pastor Erwin emphasizes that this is the love God had called us to live in.
If you are searching for God’s love and the pathway to truly living, this message is for you!
