I Have Loved You with an Everlasting Love
Jeremiah 31:3; Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 86:1-13; John 3:16-17
This sermon surrounds the church with the language of everlasting love. By weaving together Jeremiah, the Psalms, and John 3, the message likely reminds believers that God's love is not temporary, thin, or reactionary. It is covenantal, personal, and revealed most clearly in Christ. The hope in the sermon is that believers are not loved reluctantly. They are known, called, pursued, and held within a love that reaches before their beginning and extends beyond their failure. Receive the love of God as something more durable than your feelings, failures, or fears. Let his everlasting love reshape the way you see your past, your present, and your place in his story. Lord, let your everlasting love sink deeply into us. Heal the places that doubt your affection, anchor us in your mercy, and remind us that we are known and loved by you.
