As we continue under quarantine here is the link to the message I delivered to our congregation via video yesterday, March 22. The message begins at 19:20 of the video.

“For all that is in the world– the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life– is not from the Father but is from the world.” (1 John 2:16)
“… every glory that is not glory to God is vain glory …” (Watchman Nee, The Joyful Heart, September 8)
“We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)
Being loved precedes and enables being loving.
Thus we love best not when we try harder, but when we rest more deeply.
