July 13th, 2025 | The Love of God | 1 John 3:1-10
In this powerful message, we continue our journey through 1 John in our series The Love of God. Pastor Daniel Norris reflects on the birth of his first son—an unforgettable moment that revealed the depths of love a father has for his child—and uses that lens to help us grasp an even greater truth: the radical, undeserved, life-changing love God has for His children.
“What kind of love is this?” John asks. It’s a love that doesn’t make sense—a foreign, otherworldly love that redefines who we are, shapes who we’re becoming, and transforms how we live.
We dive into 1 John 3:1–10 and explore three key truths:
The love of the Father defines you
The love of the Father shapes your future
The love of the Father transforms your life
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. It’s not about earning God's love—it’s about living from the security of already having it. Whether you’re struggling with your identity, wrestling with sin, or simply needing to be reminded that you are deeply loved and fully adopted—this message is for you.
"You’re not a slave. You’re a son. And sons live differently."
