“A
certain medieval monk announced he would be preaching next Sunday evening on
‘The Love of God.’ As the shadows fell and the light ceased to come in through
the cathedral windows, the congregation gathered. In the darkness of the altar,
the monk lighted a candle and carried it to the crucifix. First of all, he
illumined the crown of thorns, next, the two wounded hands, then the marks of
the spear wound. In the hush that fell, he blew out the candle and left the
chancel. There was nothing else to say.” (Source

This week at ElmCreek Community Church we
will be looking at what the Apostle John has to say about the love of God for
the world. Who is the world? Why did God send Jesus to die upon a
cross? What happens to those who believe
in Jesus as the Savior of the world?
Join us as we struggle together to understand
this great love of God. May we all be
prayerfully prepared to hear the truth of the gospel message, the reality of
our sinful world, and the love God has for that same world.
Striving to know Christ and make Him known,
Mark
