Elder David Hunter’s message centers on the immeasurable importance of knowing and cultivating God’s love in one’s life. Elder Hunter explains that this isn’t just a passive awareness but an active, intentional lifestyle that leads to:

• A cultivated spirit

• An intentional lifestyle

• A deep, unshakable awareness of God’s love

Using the metaphor of cultivation, he compares it to breaking up soil—preparing our hearts for growth, pruning unfruitful parts of our lives, and making space for God’s love to flourish. This requires effort, attentiveness, and discipline.

Referencing Titus 3:4-5 and John 15:1-8, Elder Hunter emphasizes the need to abide in Christ, who is the true vine. Without Him, we cannot bear fruit. Abiding requires prayer, obedience, and dependence on God—not just in theory, but in every decision, action, and response. God’s love covers, corrects, and defends.

Ultimately, Elder Hunter calls for boldness—bold love, bold faith, bold obedience—rooted in the certainty that God loves us beyond a reasonable doubt. Cultivating that love not only changes us, but aligns us with God’s purpose and empowers us to live fruitful, faithful lives.
