Yes & Amen: Trusting the Love of God

Many Christians intellectually understand that God loves them, but struggle to trust that love in the deepest places of their hearts. Past wounds, disappointment, shame, and insecurity often create barriers that make God’s love feel conditional or distant. In this message, we learn that God’s love is not earned through performance, but rather received through faith. Jesus invites us to abide in Him, remain in His love, and trust what His Word says even when our feelings say otherwise. When we stop striving to prove ourselves worthy and simply rest in Christ, we begin to experience the fullness of His unfailing love. 1. “Abide in the Vine” (John 15:1–5) * Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches * Fruit is produced through connection, not striving * Abiding means remaining connected to Christ as our source 2. “Trust the Love You Already Have” (John 15:9) * Jesus loves us with the same love the Father has for Him * God’s love is not watered down or conditional * The invitation is to remain in His love without doubting it 3. “Bring Your Scared Amen” (1 John 4:16) * Trusting God’s love often requires vulnerability * Faith means saying yes to what God says even when it feels risky * The promise of God’s love is experienced when we trust it 4. “Stop Agreeing with the Accuser” (Romans 8:1; Revelation 12:10–11) * Shame and condemnation are not the voice of God * Jesus’ blood speaks a better word over our lives * We must stop partnering with lies that say we are unworthy 5. “God’s Love Is a Gift, Not a Reward” (1 John 4:9–10) * God loved us before we ever loved Him * His love is not earned through performance or perfection * Jesus makes us presentable before the Father 6. “Nothing Can Separate You From His Love” (Romans 8:35–39) * Circumstances cannot override God’s love * Failure does not cancel His faithfulness * His love remains constant through every season 7. “Receive Fresh Mercies Daily” (Lamentations 3:22–23) * God offers fresh mercy every morning * Abiding happens through daily dependence on Him * We experience His love most deeply when we intentionally seek Him
