Furious Love Listen Download Bible verses
Listen to 'Furious' track:
Andy & Lina bring a challenge about our response to the fact that God's Word is not a set of mere guidelines but something that can be seen, heard and touched.
Nothing can tear us from the grip of His mighty love. We’ve only glimpsed His vast affection, heard whispers of His heart and passion: it’s pouring down
His love is deep, His love is wide and it covers us. His love is fierce, His love is strong - it is furious. His love is sweet, His love is wild and it's waking hearts to life
The Father loves and sends His Son; The Son lays down His life for all. He lavishes His love upon us, He calls us now, His sons and daughters: He’s reaching out
