Limitless (Part 4) Limitless Love (1 John 4)
Theme: We serve a God who shows us limitless love, which should encourage us to show love to others
Introduction: We are concluding our sermon series I have entitled “Limitless,” where we have been learning to break off the limits we have placed on ourselves in the past and looking ahead at our great potential. We have seen in this new year, we can have limitless faith, wisdom, and grace. And today I want us to see how we can have limitless love in Christ.
Love-just think about that word. Do we really even know what it means? Did you know, there are hundreds of references to love in the Bible? It is certainly the most remarkable book of love in the world. It records the greatest love story ever written-God’s unconditional love for us that sent His Son to die on the cross (John 3:16; 1 John 4:10). In fact, the Bible is actually God’s love letter to man. The Apostle John (whose letter we are reading from today), is the expert on love in the Bible. He points out four things we need to know.
The Bible says there are these three: faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these The ois love. ne who is born of God and knows God, can know and show the limitless of love of God. Show me a church where there is love, and I will show you a church that is a power in the community. Jesus said, ”By this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love one for another.” Is that us this morning?

Limitless (Part 3) Limitless Grace (Ephesians 4:25-32)
Theme: We serve a God who shows us limitless gracew which should encourage us to be gracious people
Introduction: We are currently in a sermon series I have entitled “Limitless,” where we are learning to break off the limits, we have placed on ourselves in the past, and looking ahead at our great potential. We have seen in this new year; we can have limitless faith and wisdom. And today I want us to see how we can have limitless grace for living in Christ. Earlier in this chapter (v. 7) the Apostle expressed, “But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.” Since each believer receives “gifts of grace,” both clergy and laity – are to use and exercise that grace on the same level (each using their gifts and each practicing living in Christ “By grace”). Here in our text, Paul gives us Five exhortations about a believer’s conduct and those that practice these graces will experience limitless grace (we might even call it freedom) in their daily walk in Christ for themselves and towards others
Paul says clean those out of your life, then by God’s grace, replace them with these: Kindness, tenderheartedness, and a forgiving spirit so we don’t grieve the Spirit (v. 30)

Theme: We serve a limitless God which should encourage us to seek His wisdom
Introduction: We are currently in a sermon series I have entitled “Limitless,” where we are learning to break off the limits we have placed on ourselves in the past and looking ahead at our great potential.
Today, I want to talk to you about how we can all break the limits of wisdom have exercised in the past and instead, enjoy a life full of limitless wisdom! There are many smart people who are also very foolish. In the age of the internet, knowledge is abundant, but wisdom is rare. So, to understand the difference, the first thing we see is….
Conclusion: To break the restraints and have unlimited wisdom for daily living by seeking God’s unlimited wisdom, should be the business of every believer, everyday!

Limitless (Part 1) Limitless Faith (Hebrews 11:6)
Theme: We serve a limitless God which should encourage us to have great faith
Introduction: With all the sensationalism normally connected with teachings on faith, it is easy to think faith is limited to an elite group of God’s choicest saints. As we come to this great chapter of Hebrews, we are exposed to the great “Hall of Faith!” Impressive saints whose names are household names in Christian circles – famous for their feats of great faith if you will! We sit back and wonder, could I ever have and express faith like that? And the wonderful answer is, YES WE CAN! Every believer here today can choose to live a life of “limitless Faith” and today I want to show us how.
Let’s make this new year, a year committed to have limitless faith – the kind of faith that is pleasing to God!
