07 | Awestruck by the Ocean of God's Love | John 15 | Mike Bickle

In session 7, Mike Bickle focuses on John 15:9-11 and being awestruck by the love of God. The greatest pleasures available to the human spirit are the spiritual pleasures that come to us as God reveals God to us - empowering us to love Him. We are freed from the inferior pleasures of sin by experiencing the superior pleasures of the gospel. He contends for our liberty and greatness. We were created by love - so we thrive as God reveals His love to us and imparts it in us.
