John 15:9-13 (New International Version) -
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
John 14:23-24 -
Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

Luke 8:4-15 -
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.”
When he said this, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
His disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that,
” ‘though seeing, they may not see;
though hearing, they may not understand.’“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Mark 8:14-21 (New International Version) -
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”
They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
“Twelve,” they replied.“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
They answered, “Seven.”He said to them, “Do you still not understand?

It’s funny how often we find ourselves living in yesterdays realities, our perspective of the world, Jesus’s words, examples and so much more are all lived out in our lives based on what reality we live in. Join us as we explore walking on the ceiling.

In a society that often condemns us, over looks us and seems to smother our love and dreams, we often feel the lack of example in what to do.
John gives us a gritty yet refreshing account of Jesus’s confrontation with people who defrauded what was true.

I find that through out our walk we are in need of some constant reminders in the core of our faith. Just as a Mother or Father can never say “I love you” to there kids to often or to many times, we cant be remind enough of the Love of God and our deep longing for it.
Our journey into the experience of the love of God can often be inhibited by our fear of Sin and how we think it effects Gods heart towards us. One of our greatest needs is to begin to put less focus on Sin and more focus on what it actually meant for Jesus to “take the sins of the world”.
“Perfect Love casts out fear”

Love…something we talk about all the time, we use it constantly to describe our feelings about every little thing we seem to like. Do we get it? Do we understand how much love effects our lives and how we can spread it.

Here we discuss how Jesus saw with transparency into the Laws of God and went straight to the source. Jesus gives us a new perspective on the source of living rightly before God and what it means. In the “Greatest Commandment” we begin to see what its all about and how the Love of God will radically begin to change our lives if we embrace it. Why has our culture added to the words of Jesus and complicated simple Love? This is the beginning of a Theology that is not focused on moral righteousness as the source of our relationship with God but on the very command of Love itself.
