Why You Can Stop Hiding from God (The Power of Perfect Love)

Why do we spend so much of our lives hiding? From the bushes of Eden to the modern-day "rearview mirror" moments of shame, we often treat God like a judge we need to avoid rather than a Father we can trust. In this message, we explore 1 John 4:17–5:3 to see how the "Great Exchange" of the Gospel changes everything. When we realize that we are "as He is" before the Father, our fear is replaced by a radical confidence. We discover that following Jesus isn't a burdensome list of religious chores, but a "natural expression" of being born into His family. As we reprise themes from Matthew 11, we learn that the yoke of Jesus is easy—not because the world is easy, but because we are united to a gentle and lowly King whose love never fails, never gives up, and never runs out. In this sermon, we discuss: The "Great Exchange": Why you no longer have to hide in the bushes. How perfect love casts out the "stomach-churning" fear of judgment. Why God’s commandments are a "fence in the yard" rather than a heavy burden. The historical witness of joyful obedience in the lives of Polycarp and Augustine.
