Do we love God?

Bishop Marcus Matthews preached for the opening worship service of the Conference this morning. He asked several important and inspiring questions.

Jesus sat on the beach and asked,"Peter, do you love me?" He asks us the same question. Do we love God? Do we believe God is here with us? Then we should act like it.

People hunger for change. They hunger for spiritual growth. How will we be a witness to the transformational changed God brings to our lives? How are we a ray of hope?

Do we love God? Then we should act like it.

Does the Light shine in our lives? Can others see the Light in us? Our challenge is to say yes to God, even when we do not feel equipped. Our challenge is to say yes to God, even when the path is hard, and we think the odds are stacked against us. Will we say yes? Will we let our light shine for God?

What does that mean for my life? What does it mean for your life? How does it translate to the work of the local church? These are critical questions that we must answer for the work of God to be done in our lives and in Christ's Church.

Do we love God? Then we should act like it!
