It’s such an ambiguous thing, is it not? And yet, most would agree it’s the most important thing in life. We all long to be loved. We all know we need to love. The people, animals, interests, and experiences we love are the most cherished aspects of our lives. Oh, and we love God, too, right? But do we ever stop to measure our love? Do we ever check in on how well we are loving? Do we even know how to measure it?...

Do you ever feel like the things that you muster the boldest faith for are the things that seem to go completely unanswered? Do you ever feel like you know you have prayed properly, prayed hard, dug deep to muster up your faith, and stood on the scriptures… only to find deafening silence in return? Do you ever feel like your prayers have simply failed?...

We learned last Sunday that Jesus called his disciples to engage a heart of unlimited generosity regardless of how depleted and under-resourced they felt. We faced the “So what?” decision of whether a life of intentional generosity could compel us to trust God for strength, resource, and provision even when it seems impossible.
When we develop a heart of unlimited and unfettered generosity, we step into a fuller aspect of our discipleship in Jesus. The scripture challenges us to discover this: “But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving” (2 Corinthians 8:7).

When we think too highly of ourselves, we put chains on God. He is limited by us. We think we can manage whatever challenges we face. And so... we do. We grab the reins, take control of our circumstances, and work in our own strength for the best outcome we can achieve. We’ve just boxed God out. He can do little with our circumstances because we told Him to butt out.

But the other hand can even be worse. When we underestimate both ourselves and God, that’s a toxic mix that will stop both of us in our tracks. This poisonous idea suggests that not only are we weak, but so is God. We see our own weaknesses and inabilities with crystal clarity. And then we assume God can’t do anything with them. When we think like this, we are blind to the scriptural revelation that our weaknesses are the specific condition in which God’s supernatural power is most poised to do something huge...

Hey Friends…
Let’s be honest. Faith can seem quite silly, especially to those looking in from the outside. I don’t blame them. Do you? It’s not hard to see how our supernatural Jesus might look more like an imaginary friend than an actual, natural, physical reality. So, they laugh at us. But let me ask you (and be honest!): Do we sometimes secretly laugh at Jesus too? Let’s talk in Deeper Thoughts... https://www.mthopeloudoun.org/blog

Can I tell you a love story? I’ll warn you, though: it has a break-up in the middle of it like many relationships do. Some of you might have to think back to a younger time in life to recall the ups and downs of early love and those giddy feelings when you finally met “the right one.” Others may recall the heartache of being dumped. Or of the doubt that crept in that this could ever work out. You up for thinking about love? I’ll tell you more—and especially how this relates to you and Jesus—in Deeper Thoughts ...

Are you good and crazy? I mean this in the most positive light. Are you nuts? Crazy? Out of your mind? Oh, you’ve been trying to avoid that outcome, have you? I suppose such a moniker isn’t typically at the top of our desired life achievements. But maybe it should be. At least if we want to be like Jesus. I’ll tell you more in Deeper Thoughts...(see the link to Chris's message below)

We have a problem. It can be solved, but only if we recognize how deep it is. If we keep seeing it as “normal,” we won’t want Jesus to fix it. We won’t even recognize that he could. Instead, we’ll only look for Jesus to fix a few shallower aspects of our lives. While a shallow healing is certainly enjoyable, most of us are oblivious to the far greater life we could experience if Jesus healed our deeper issue. What to know what it is? More importantly, do you want it to be healed?
...Let’s ask Jesus for what we really need… There's a profound miracle waiting for us if we’ll recognize we really need it.
Much love… See you Sunday at 10 am--in person (stay tuned for the status of our live service) or online!!

For many people, they can’t say that God has ever spoken anything to them. They’re not even sure what that would be like, so their visualization of it can often quickly pivot to something more grandiose than it really is. Or they could—and perhaps should—have a serious case of skepticism whenever someone says, “God told me this for you.”

So, those caveats acknowledged, would you allow me to tell you that “God told me something for you?”

It was about four weeks ago. The impression was distinct. It was not audible, but it was a clear gut impression deep in my spirit. I wrote it down. Here it is:

Oh… wait… let me set one important stage, and then I’ll tell you what He said.
