Outline
Hook: When the heat gets turned up, what comes out of you?
I. EARNEST LOVE
"We Christians have given atheists less and less in which to believe.” – Alasdair MacIntyre
II. EDIFYING LOVE
"The experience of Christian togetherness is not simply for the benefit of those who choose to participate in Christian community. A community of love rooted in the redemptive reign of God can never be an in-house enterprise.” – Inagrace Dietterich
III. ETERNAL LOVE
“Christian love is the love of grace. For such love to appear the pride and selfishness of our alienation from God must be swept away. They must be replaced by a heart made new with the motives of grace.” – Edmund Clowney.
Take-away: Make Jesus your treasure!
