In this talk, Jeff explores the transforming power of Christ's love poured out for us upon the cross. He explains how the cross is the full expression of love. We often want to live in the ideal world of comfort and predictability, where our needs are met, but most of life is full of things that don't go our way and are painful.
Jeff defines the difference between the ideal life and real life, showing that if we understand suffering, we can incorporate it into loving those around us and our life can take on new meaning. The trials of life should not be impediments to real living. Instead we should see them as ways of really living.
Jeff will explain how to transform those things that we don't like into the holiness of God. By showing us how the cross is the perfect expression of love, Jeff will help us see that real life is the opportunity to love in the sacrificial manner in which Christ loved us.
