Title: Do We Believe that God Loves Us and Has a Plan for Us (2)
Series: Do We Or Don't We

Text: 1 John 4:16-5:4, Jeremiah 29:11
Turn to 1 John. Our Sunday messages ask a simple question, "Do we or Don't we?" These center around our "CORE BELIEFS". Today, we ask about #2, Do we believe?
After preaching for at least 45 minutes about how to live life, Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount with the illustration about the foundation of life. He had preached to the multitudes about being blessed, who the people are to the world (salt and light), the traditions and the law (behavior), giving, praying, fasting, treasures, attitudes (Godly and ungodly), and much more, the list goes on and on. And then to cap it off, He pointed to the foundation of life and for life by telling the story of the men who built their lives on the rock and the sand. With His words, He called us to make sure our lives (yours and mine) are built on the rock so that we will not experience a collapse and a great crash.

He knew that Christ was the only solid foundation.
As a matter of a foundation for your life, do you believe that God LOVES YOU? And do you believe that HE has a PLAN for you? If you do, I pray that you leave today assured of His love and pla ...
