The most popular verse in the Bible:  John 3:16.  The pitfall of looking at a verse that is so popular is that we can easily shut down with the idea that "we already know that".  In this message we take a closer look at this famous verse and the verses that come after it, looking for fresh insights into what God is saying through them.  The main them is that God loves.  We will never really understand the fullness and significance of God's love this side of heaven, but we will work at gaining a better understanding of his love in this message.  We will also see that God's love for us moved Him to action, an action that forever changes the lives of men and women throughout the world.  We will also see that God's love requires a choice from us.  So, listen in to be both encouraged and challenged.
