Why Bold Love Unleashed? Acts 3-4
- Bold suggests and implies courage
- Love is the very nature of God
- Unleashed means to allow something, especially something “previously held in check” to have full effect.
“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” Romans 5:20
The law (the Word/ truth) shows the lawlessness of humanity… God is exposing the wickedness of men so He can demonstrated His love through the Church of Jesus Christ! But love comes to cover and take away the lawlessness of humanity. This is our time to demonstrate the “bold love” of the grace of God in a society filled with lawlessness!
There is a love that God is about to unleash that we didn’t know we had in us or we didn’t believe we could walk in. Our faith or boldness will unleash what God wants to do in and through us. It’s been held in check for such a time as this. This is the due season. This is the appointed time.
As leaders, we will guide our churches, organizations, families into this BOLD LOVE.
What does this look like during Catalyst Week and beyond?
Love God BOLDLY: not just commune with Him, worship Him, obey Him, but love Him to the point of STANDING FOR HIM and DECIDING NOT TO COMPROMISE or water down the truth regardless of inside or outside persecution.
Love People BOLDY to the point of leading them into reconciliation with family members, neighbors, brothers and sister in Christ because of past offenses. We also love by praying for those who are in authority and who are opposing the work and will of God.
