Getting To Know God
THE CREATOR CLOCK
Pastor Rory Clark Barah Ministries www.barahministires.com
Hi there!
Welcome to Barah Ministries…a Christian Church based in Mesa, AZ…my name is Pastor Rory Clark.
I have a question for you…
What Do You Know About God?
These ten-minute lessons introduce you to God and they make you aware of the things that are unique and special about your CREATOR…and we use The Creator Clock to help you remember the Lord’s essence. Tick Tock…what time is it on the Creator Clock?
CREATOR CLOCK SLIDE
Right at the center of the Creator Clock, we see the title of today’s lesson…
TODAY’S BIBLE LESSON God IS Love
There is nothing that I know of that does a better job of communicating about God’s love than a song written, produced and sung by our very own June Murphy…one of the best songs that has ever been written by anyone, at any time…and it is written from God’s perspective…here’s June Murphy to sing…
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU June Murphy
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
I am the Lord your God and I love you So much that I laid down My life My love, you will always be precious to Me I will never put you away or push you aside
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
There is nothing good or bad about you That would make a difference in what I have to say My death has made a way for you to be perfect in My eyes So no matter what, I’m gonna love you anyway
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
When I say, “I love you” I’m not giving you hoops to jump through When I say, “I love you” I’m not telling you, “When you blow it, we’re through”
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
When I say, “I love you” I know at times you will be untrue But I won’t take My love from you ‘Cause when I say, “I love you,” I do When I say, “I love you”
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
I love you with a love unconditional It will last for an eternity My love for you is not emotional It’s part of who I am, and it flows from My integrity
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
I can teach you to love unconditionally With the power of the Spirit working in you So when you’ve been betrayed, and even lied to You can still love others as I do, if you want to…
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
‘Cause when I say, “I love you” I’m not giving you hoops to jump through When I say, “I love you” I’m not telling you, “When you blow it, we’re through”
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
When I say, “I love you” I know at times you will be untrue But I won’t take My love from you ‘Cause when I say, “I love you,” I do When I say, “I love you”
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
When I say, “I love you” I’m not giving you hoops to jump through When I say, “I love you” I’m not telling you, “When you blow it, we’re through”
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
When I say, “I love you” I know at times you will be untrue But I won’t take My love from you ‘Cause when I say, “I love you,” I do When I say, “I love you”
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
Love is patient and kind It does not act unbecomingly It does not envy or boast Love forgets a wrong suffered It is not provoked And it does not seek its own
WHEN I SAY I LOVE YOU
Love rejoices in Truth Not in unrighteousness It bears and hopes all things It believes, it endures, it prevails This kind of love never fails This is what I say, when I say, “I love you” When I say, “I love you”
Love says it all…the Beatles had it right…“All you need is love.” And when you think about all of the attributes of God’s essence…love… unconditional love for all creatures…angelic and human…is the one attribute that colors all of the others attributes…if we’re looking…we see God’s love in all of them…
