If You Love Me Spirit Talk Collection, Book 4

22 messages on loving God, growing in faith, and finding freedom in Christ

“If you love me, keep my commands.” Jesus’ words call us to a faith that changes how we live. Preached to a real congregation, these messages explore what that love looks like day to day: in worship, in friendship with Jesus, in generosity, and in the courage to let go of what holds us back.

Each message opens with the full Scripture reading and a story that draws you in. There’s the five-year-old who said the Kansas plains were so flat “you can look farther than you can see,” and the world’s shortest sermon, one word: “Love.”

Two series inside:

Living as a Fruitful Church, inspired by the Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations:

  • Radical Hospitality Imitates Christ: welcoming others the way Jesus did
  • Learning to Soar: a faith that makes a real difference
  • Risky Business: stepping out in mission
  • A Faithful Way of Living: the joy of extravagant generosity

Finding Freedom from Hurts, Habits, and Hang-ups, a recovery series inspired by Celebrate Recovery:

  • Peace Be with You and Resurrection Reality: Easter hope
  • A Book Like No Other: why the Bible cannot be matched
Includes a Scripture index, so you can easily find a message on the passage you’re studying or preaching.

Perfect for:

  • small groups, especially Celebrate Recovery groups and those working through church renewal
  • pastors and lay speakers looking for ready-made sermon series and illustrations
Available in paperback and Kindle.
