God’s Unconditional Love
God's love is a central theme throughout the Bible, defined by His depth, faithfulness, and unconditional nature. One of the most well-known verses, John 3:16, states, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This act of sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for humanity's sins is the ultimate expression of divine love. Despite our imperfections and failures, God's love is not dependent on our actions or worthiness. As Romans 5:8 affirms, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." His love reaches us at our lowest point, offering redemption and grace.
Moreover, God's love is everlasting and unchanging. Jeremiah 31:3 declares, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Unlike human love, which can be fragile or conditional, God's love is steadfast and enduring. Nothing can separate us from it. Romans 8:38-39 emphasizes this truth: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” God's love is a constant source of hope and security for us, assuring us that we are never alone or beyond His reach.

Pastor Appreciation
Pastor appreciation month is a time to take a moment and appreciate the pastors and leaders who serve, love, give, help, and walk alongside you. Sometimes pastors are privy to the bright days and the hardest days. They don’t usually hear the much of in-between. Take a moment to write a note of appreciation or encouragement. If you would like you could send cards, gifts, make cookies, and speak prayers on their behalf. Tell them you love them, ask them how you can help, or even bless them with your eyes and ears. They are often the ones on the looking and listening end. Thank you Pastor Chad, Pastor Lindsay, Pastor Starla, Pastor Deb, Pastor Tim, and Pastor AJ. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful pastors here at Springs.
