CRUCIFORM LOVE

-real love is when it is difficult to love 
-the cross shows not just Jesus' suffering for us but also His love for us
-Jesus gave Himself
-our life is built on God's love... Not our achievements
1. Love is the heart of the christian life 
-
-
2. The cross is the ultimate expression of love 
-Jesus love us on the cross
   -sacrifically
   -unconditionally
   -selflessly
   -forgivingly, forgiving even those who crucify Him
   -faithfully even when suffering is unbearable
3. True love is self-giving and self-seeking 
-genuie love actively seeks the good for someone else 
-
4. Jesus' love is humble and self emptying 
-Jesus emptied Himself from heaven, and humbly become slave
-
-we must think like Jesus, pattern our life like Jesus 
-humality is not weakness
5. Cruciform love must become our way of life
-we can remain loving in life
-what we received from God, we extend to others 

-loving when it's hard to love, forgiving when it's hard to forgive, surrendering pride in the face of pain

Love means 
-it's not about winning every argument
-better to listen then to speak

STEWARDING POWER GOD'S WAY

-
-
-for Bezalel, power is skill, creativity 
-
-all powerful... Powerful is part of God's nature 
-
-
-empowered for success.. we will succeed 
God uses power to
1. Create life
-not discourage or weaken people
-speak life 
-
-words of discourage, fear... It's a abuse of power 
-Jesus speaks words of love, hope
-
-
-
-Jesus encouraged Peter after Peter denied Jesus 
-
2. Love and do good
-
-
-
3. empower others
-Jesus shares power generously abundance
-the one who empower is is the Lord God almighty and He never runs out of power 
-
-the more we share, the more we grow
-likr Esther, we must know that God puts us in a position and empower us at such a time like this
