Built for This: Accepting — Loving Because God Loved Us
What kind of church are we called to be? A church where people encounter grace before judgment, where there is room for the messy and broken, and where people experience the love of Jesus through us.
In 1 John 4:7–12, we discover a simple but powerful truth: We love people well because God loves us. God didn’t wait for us to get everything together before loving us—He moved first. And because we have received that kind of love, we are called to extend it to others.
In this message from the Built for This series, Pastor Bryan explores Red Lodge Alliance Chapel’s core value of Accepting and four truths about biblical love: love comes from God, love initiates, love is sacrificial, and love reveals God to the world.
The challenge is practical: open the circle, learn a name, love first, show up, and pray in the moment. Let’s become a church where people know there is room for them—and where Red Lodge can see Jesus through the way we love one another.
Scripture: 1 John 4:7–12
