There is a Scripture reading (9:01-9:41). Referring to a passage from Genesis and a passage from Revelation, Spencer speaks about the various types of passages which speak to different situations and different aspects of God, as there are direct words from God (9:42-11:17). He says the greatest word for the world comes from John 3:16, which is a “risk of God, giving us a word to man through man” that has probably transformed more lives than any other word (11:18-13:41). Spencer speaks on how the verse is so straightforward and plain yet deeply profound, as it mentions God’s initiative, the nature of God, the width of God’s love, the depth of God’s love, the way to abundant life, and the truth of life (13:42-31:17). Spencer closes the service in a word of prayer (31:18-32:02).
