Title - A Ministry of Love
The Main Point
Our ministry is to be an extension and a continuation of the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And if there is anything that distincly sets His ministry apart, it is love.
Christ’s ministry glowed with love, for God and people.
He demonstrated how it is to love God above everything, and how to love others as oneself.
It is my desire that this ministry become identified with the same passion as Christ’s.
