Love That Surpasses Knowledge

From 7/13/2006 Church Summer Conference (More Love To Thee)

Walking RESOLUTELY with Jesus

- Luke 9:60 burier vs. bearer: Let the dead [spiritually] bury their own dead, but you do and proclaim the kingdom of God

- Don't look back
Gen 19:26 Lot's wife
Ex 16:3 Israel left Egypt, looked back
1 Kings 19:19 Elisha wants to say bye
Phil 3:7-14 forget what is behind, strain toward what's ahead

Walking in love

- Info overload --> learn to internalize what we already know
- Don't substitute thoughts about God for an experience w/ God
- You can know all about someone but not have a personal reln (celebs, God)
- He sends you flowers every spring, a sunrise every morning; everytime you want to talk, He listens; He could live anywhere in the universe yet chooese your heart
- Just as she takes joy in watching son play music, so Father is thrilled to watch me in every venue of my life.

EPHESIANS 3:17-19 Knowing love that surpasses knowledge: "I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge."

Ps. 42:1-2 "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."

Psalm 63

Isaiah 49:14-16
