Paul Young   "Redemption’s Work: Unshackled at the Shack"   THEME VERSE:   1 John 4:9-10     NIV  --  This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.   The Message Bible  --  This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.     March 1  A God Beyond Our Wildest Imaginations - No Audio message available Theme: God breaks through our stereotypes and limitations to reveal himself to us.  His character is always the same, even though he approaches us in many ways.
