LIVING WATERS
For the proclamation of the Gospel and the edification of the Body of Christ

Towards the Fullness of God
In this edition, we have the pleasure of presenting the second series of the sermons and teachings given last January in the Rucacura Camp (Chile). Their message is the same as their purpose and their center: "Christ is all and is in all" (Col. 3:11).
This time, however, the emphasis is placed on love, the ingredient and foundation of the life of a believer and in the life of the Church. Love is the concrete that unites living stones within the temple; it is the complete expression of the Character of God. Love is what will allow us to be "filled with the fullness of God." The supremacy and preeminence of Christ will only be possible in a church filled with the love of Christ.
We hope that these messages help us all to take steps towards the love of Christ in the heart of the church and to demolish all that impedes its full expression.
