Message Notes:

As Americans, we have seen our world shift in the last few years. Christ followers used to make up the majority of the U.S. population, but now we find ourselves in the minority. What do we do? How do we live in a hostile world? This series will deal with how to counter the culture.
 
  • Countercultural love loves unconditionally, in proximity, and sacrificially.
 
1 Peter 1:22 (NLT) Peter tells us that once we are cleansed of our sins and believe the truth of Jesus, we must sincerely and deeply love each other.
 
John 13:35 (NLT) “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
 
Christ followers are called to love in these three countercultural ways:
  1. Unconditionally
                        1 Peter 4:8 (NLT)
                        Psalm 103:1-14 (NLT)
  1. In Proximity
                        Acts 10:24-28 (NLT)
                        1 Peter 3:8 (NLT)
  1. Sacrificially
                        Matthew 5:46-47 (NLT)
                        Matthew 5:48 (NLT)
