Sermon Series: The Beauty of Loving People

Here at Chesapeake, our three core values are: All People Matter To God, Full Devotion To Jesus Christ Is Normal, and Excellence Honors God. 

Excellence tends to display itself in all kinds of ways. And Full Devotion is more easily recognizable, too. But the value of All People Matter To God – this can be a bit harder to see at times.

It shouldn’t be this way.

So what if we did something about that? What if we made loving people visible? What if we so clearly displayed excellence and our devotion to Christ in the way we love people? And not just those who are easy to love – but even loving the unlovely. Imagine the community we would be if together we made our God known through the beauty of loving people.

Because if All People Matter To God, shouldn’t all people matter to us?

The Crucifixion

Crucifixion – quite possibly the cruelest, most gruesome form of execution ever devised and practiced by humans. And yet even in Jesus’ final moments of excruciating pain and agony, there are still glimmers of beauty. The cross was not the end but rather the beginning – the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s promise of redemption of His people. Men sought to put an end to something at The Crucifixion. But What Jesus Did was something else entirely.
