Phyllis O'Bott | Agape Love by Hope Community Church, Willow Grove

In this sermon, Pastor Carolyn Wilson presents the Bible as a sweeping love story—a narrative of God relentlessly pursuing a relationship with humanity despite our frequent distractions and failures. She recaps how, through scripture, God seeks more than religious rituals or mere outward acts; what He truly desires is our wholehearted love and devotion. Carolyn centers her message on Jesus' affirmation of the Shema: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. She explains that: The heart represents our deepest affections and priorities; The soul encompasses our identity and life's essence; The mind involves our thoughts and understanding, which are to be shaped by God's truth; And our strength is lived out through obedient, sacrificial action. This kind of all-in love, Carolyn notes, is intensely practical, showing up in daily habits, decisions, and a consistent priority of God above all else. She acknowledges we can't love God perfectly on our own, but the Holy Spirit helps us grow in love and faithfulness. The sermon concludes with encouragement to not just recite God's Greatest Commandment but to truly live it, discovering our deepest fulfillment in a devoted relationship with Him.

As we enter Holy Week, we're reminded of the profound lessons Jesus imparted in His final days. The central themes of love, forgiveness, and justice intertwine, forming the core of our Christian faith. Pastor Beth Burton reminds us that we're called to love deeply, forgive generously, and seek justice relentlessly - not as mere actions, but as a way of life. These principles, embodied by Christ on the cross, challenge us to examine our own lives. How can we love like Jesus, crossing boundaries and risking rejection? In what ways can we offer forgiveness as radical as Christ's 'Father, forgive them'? Where is God calling us to confront injustice in our world? As we reflect on these questions, we're invited to see ourselves through Christ's eyes, ransomed from fear and hatred, and given back to God.

Pastor Tim joins us for the "Path of Victory" series, guiding us through the final week of Jesus' life and the extraordinary love He displayed on the way to the cross. From Palm Sunday to the Last Supper, the cleansing of the temple to the crucifixion, every moment pointed to a Savior who loved fully and faithfully. Jesus' love wasn't just shown in words, but in every step He took to secure our salvation. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

Biblical Agape Love - 1 JOHN 3:11-3:24 (3/16/25) by Faith Community Church Plymouth, MA

In this heartfelt episode, CJMiller shares a personal story about teaching his son to drive—and the spiritual metaphor that unfolded along the way. While navigating Central Expressway, a car sped by, weaving in and out of traffic. Instead of reacting, CJ pulled aside and let it pass. It became the perfect teaching moment: when someone operates from chaotic or aggressive energy, you don't have to match it. Let them meet their own energy. This story expands into a larger reflection on life. As CJ explains to his son, everything operates on a spiritual level. The consciousness of a reckless driver will eventually attract a similar consciousness. Our job is to hold steady—to stay centered in love. When we react, retaliate, or try to “win,” we step away from our love base. Drawing inspiration from Abraham-Hicks and the concept of staying in the “vortex,” CJ explores the challenge of maintaining spiritual alignment in a world that constantly pulls us toward fear, outrage, and distraction. Whether it's doomscrolling on social media, toxic conversations, or drama-driven entertainment, we're being called to a higher practice: holding the vibration of Love. Be the broader Love. This isn't romantic love—it's the universal Love that ancient cultures and spiritual traditions have named again and again. The Greeks called it Agape. In Buddhism, it's Mettā—loving-kindness. In Hinduism, Bhakti. In Catholic mysticism, Caritas. In New Thought, it is the Creative Intelligence behind all form—Love as a force that moves through everything and asks for nothing in return. CJ shares how he's begun pulling back from negative media and limiting his exposure to people who feed off fear and anger—not out of judgment, but to protect and nurture his own vibration. He encourages you to do the same: gently guide conversations back toward light, or walk away when necessary. We're often taught that we have to fix the problems we see. But sometimes, the highest form of action is demonstration. Be the lighthouse. Engage in passive resistance. Send money to organizations you believe in. Set intentions, offer prayers, donate to the disadvantaged. Staying in Love Consciousness is enough. Don't push against—go toward Agape Love. This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder: we don't fix the world by sinking to its level. We change it by holding our ground in Love, and letting others rise to meet us there—when they're ready.

On this MegaPod, Rich talks about Grace, Friendship and the Woman at the Well

Love is the essence of God. We know that.At the same time, we can say that there are different kinds of love; we're talking about that this week. Love for family. Love for our fellow humans. Love for nature.But we can think of what is called agape love as “big-tent love.” Agape is an ancient Greek word meaning “Love of God for people, and of people for God.”1 Corinthians 13:1–3 says, “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.”Get out of your bitterness toward someone. Stop looking at others as less than you.Our world is a great big old tent, and everyone inside is a beloved one of God's children.Your neighbor is you, and you are your neighbor.Let's pray.Lord, thank you for making us diverse. Help us to love all people, all the time. In Jesus' name, amen.Change your shirt, and you can change the world!
