TALKS

GOD’S WORD TRANSFORMS LIVES

Talk 1: What does God’s love look like?

Nancy Guthrie

Throughout the Old Testament, God often spoke of himself as a husband to his people, the Israelites. So what kind of husband is he? What does his love for his bride, Israel, reveal to us about how we can expect to experience his love? The prophet Hosea helps us to answer that question. Hosea was called to make his life a living drama or demonstration of God’s unfailing love for an unfaithful bride. In his book we see a picture of how our divine husband chooses us, how he woos us to himself, how he loves us in the way we need most to be loved.

Talk 2: Do you love me?

Kathleen Nielson

The question rings in our ears, as we hear Jesus ask it of Peter three times in John 21: “Do you love me?” We do well to listen in on Peter’s after-breakfast conversation with the risen Christ, for those words sent Peter out to grow the church we’re part of today. What does it mean to be the people who love Jesus…women who love Jesus? We’ll ask ourselves what this means for us now, as we take in that seaside scene where our Lord Jesus asked Peter his searching question: “Do you love me?”

Talk 3: Just Mary: An Expression of Christ’s Love for the Vulnerable

Bryan Chapell

In this talk, Bryan will demonstrate how Christ’s ascension to his Father – and our Father – enables us to deal with the shame of frailties and failures in our lives through the promises of his unrelenting grace.

The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Zephaniah 3:17
