Jesus Christ: An Ambassador of God’s Love
Jesus Christ’s Example Love New Life Island (Upper Black Eddy, PA) Gilmore, Tim 08/16/2024
This teaching looks at the characteristics of the love of God in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13 and then goes to examples in the Gospel of John where Jesus Christ loved people and exemplified these characteristics in his manifesting that love to people. As ambassadors, we get people to know God and His love by living it ourselves. The teacher warns that we will face criticism for practicing the love of God because it is counter to culture but to continue to decide to love anyway. We can encourage each other to keep loving and build a culture of love.

At the beginning of the fellowship, Jerry Carr gives an introduction to the song, and then Christina Armstrong, Kristy Nafey, and Eric Rosa play “What Can I Do for You Today?”.
In this teaching, we learn two reasons why we can speak the Word with boldness and confidence. First, we speak boldly because of our love and compassion for people. We have what people need, and they need help. Give them the chance to get out of the hopelessness of the world. Second, we can be be bold because we have a sure thing, something to rely on. God works in us as we go out to speak, and the truth always comes out victorious.

This teaching reveals the proper order of a believer’s priorities from God’s Word. The Bible declares that the most important aspect of our lives is to seek God first. When our efforts are put into a real relationship with God, we will not be disappointed. Our next priority should be to help others. We determine that others’ needs are important, starting with the people in our vicinity. The teacher goes through the parable of the Good Samaritan as an illustration of helping others. Finally, we are willing to put our own needs last.
