Point 2: Gods love is a level up – Eph. 3:17-21 - “so that Christ

may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being

rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all

the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and

deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses

knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the

fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more

than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work

within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus

throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen
