In his sermon, Rev. Jake Medcalf delved into the transformative and foundational nature of God's love based on 1 John 3:1-3. He began by emphasizing the incomparable greatness of God's love, describing it as life-changing and chain-breaking. Through recaps of previous sermons exploring themes of confession and truly knowing the living God, Jake prepared the congregation for the profound message that God's love is unconditional and cannot be earned. He shared personal anecdotes and theological insights to illustrate the struggle of feeling unworthy of love and the freedom that comes with understanding God's love deeply. The sermon's crescendo focused on the concept of believers being adopted into God's family, with all the rights and love that come with it. Rev. Medcalf urged the congregation to move beyond an intellectual grasp of God's love and to let it saturate their hearts, leading to genuine transformation and abundant life.
