DIFFERENT: Chapter 2

Aug 2, 2026    Pastor Abe Brown

Most people spend their lives searching for someone to complete them.

Jesus offers something completely different.


In Chapter 2 of our DIFFERENT series, Pastor Abe Brown walks through Colossians 3:12 and reveals God's incredible progression for every believer:

Identity → Love → Transformation


"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." (Colossians 3:12)

This message explores why healthy relationships don't begin by trying harder—they begin by receiving the love of God.


You'll discover:

Why "Dearly Loved" is one of the most powerful identity statements in Scripture

Why you cannot give away a love you have never fully received

The difference between the world's view of love and Jesus' invitation to remain in His love

How Jeremiah 2, John 4, John 15, Romans 5, 1 John 3, and Ephesians 2 all point to God's extravagant, life-changing love.


Practical ways God's love transforms marriages, friendships, families, and everyday relationships

The invitation is simple:

Receive first. Give second.

Because we love best from overflow.
