In Episode 111 of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 7:12 — the Golden Rule. In one sentence, Jesus distills the entire ethical teaching of the law and the prophets: treat others the way you want to be treated. It sounds simple. But let it become specific and it becomes one of the most demanding things Jesus ever said.

First Corinthians 8 - Christian Love and Liberty

In the early 20th century, families of the Aran Islands off the coast of Ireland, started a sweater making tradition. These sweaters are known for their unique, distinguishing patterns. In fact, no two families share the same pattern. As Believers, our love should be unique & distinguished from the world. The pattern of "Christian Love" should not only serve others, but also represent the glory of God through Christ. Join us, as we are encouraged in these truths from 1 Peter 4:7-11.

30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.” 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love…

In this episode of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 5:43–48 — perhaps the most radical teaching in the entire Sermon on the Mount. Love your enemies. Pray for those who persecute you. Not tolerate them. Not ignore them. Love them.

We live in a world of many gods, but there is only one true and living God. Our God is the true God. He says of Himself, "I am God, and there is none else." He has told us that we can have assurance of eternal life. He is the true God who hears and answers prayer. Let us love Him, serve Him, and give Him His rightful place in life.

We have arrived! This episode explores the final and highest rung of the Apostle Peter's “virtue ladder”- agape, the selfless, God‑shaped love that defines the true purpose of Christian character. We walk through how each previous rung—faith, moral excellence, knowledge, self‑control, perseverance, godliness and brotherly kindness—builds the capacity to reach this culminating form of love. While Strong's Concordance’s Greek definition of agape may sound simple or even underwhelming, Scripture masterfully fills the word with depth, weight and divine intention. This eight and final rung powerfully reveals the height what our Christian characters aspire to! The love of God Himself Agape is the love God demonstrates in giving His only begotten son. It is the love Jesus lived by laying down his life, and the love the apostles taught as the unmistakable evidence of spiritual maturity. This love is “disinterested” in the classical sense—free from selfish motive, seeking no advantage and offered even when it is not reciprocated. It is critical to remember that while this kind of love grows out of brotherly kindness, it surpasses it by embracing even the hardest expressions of love: loving enemies, blessing those who persecute us and caring for those we don't naturally like. A powerful illustration of this is the story of Maximilian Kolbe, who voluntarily took another man's place in a starvation bunker at Auschwitz—an act that embodied Christlike, sacrificial agape. The first few verses of 1 Corinthians 13, show us how this kind of love must shape what we as Christians say, know and do; without it, eloquence becomes noise, knowledge becomes pride, and even great acts of sacrifice lose their spiritual value. Finally, we observe how the Scriptures remind us that perfect love casts out fear, and that agape matures in us as we continually practice the earlier virtues. When brotherly love is strong and relationships are aligned with God's will, agape becomes the defining purpose of a disciple's life, shining as the highest expression of Christlikeness. Key Takeaways Agape is the highest rung of Christian character, built on the foundation of the previous seven virtues. Strong's definition is insufficient—Scripture reveals agape as God's own selfless, sacrificial love. Jesus models agape through his willingness to lay down his life. Agape includes loving enemies and those we don't naturally like. Without agape, words, knowledge and actions lose spiritual value (1 Corinthians 13). Perfect love casts out fear, revealing maturity and alignment with God's purpose.

"Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee."How important to Jesus was “ministry in interruption”? Doesn't it seem like Jesus went out and expected to be interrupted, almost more than he went out with a specific target? In what ways do we struggle to be interruptible? What's happened to our margins? What would you have to do in order to be ready for God-sent interruptions?

We see sin as sin because God's word makes it plain. But if we have no interest in our brothers and sisters in Christ, is that not sin, too? Jesus came to purify us not only so that we would personally know the joy of feeling clean and pure, but also to love His body, the church. Pastor Mollenkopf opens up Peter's first epistle describing God's demand for us to love one another.

In verses 9 and 10 of chapter 4, Paul gets back to his emphasis on loving one another. The Thessalonians were known for their love toward other beilevers, and Paul wants them to keep growing in this.

Send us a textIn this special release episode, Bishop Rob Wright speaks with Bishop Craig Loya of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota about the immigration crisis unfolding in Minnesota and beyond. Recorded as a resource for clergy and lay leaders, the conversation moves beyond headlines to the lived realities facing immigrant communities.“On the one hand, we're seeing a campaign of cruelty and intimidation and violence. On the other hand, we're seeing the faith community mobilizing for love.” — Bishop Craig Loya“The central question for followers of Jesus is always the same: What does Christian love require of us now?” — Bishop Rob WrightBishop Loya shares how Episcopal congregations are responding with care—delivering food to families afraid to leave their homes, expanding food pantries, caring for children, and standing vigil outside daycares—while also naming the fear and trauma communities are experiencing.These themes echo a recent letter signed by 154 bishops across The Episcopal Church, including Bishop Wright. Addressed to the American people, the letter calls for accountability, restraint, and renewed commitment to human dignity, asking a simple and urgent question: Whose dignity matters Together, the podcast and the bishops' letter offer a clear call to prayer, moral courage, and faithful action in a time of fear.Give to the Episcopal Church in Minnesota.Give to Casa Maria. Support the show Follow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright.

 In this message from Making Room, we reflect on 1 John 4 and the promise that perfect love casts out fear. Learn how hospitality becomes courageous, wise, and faithful when rooted in God's love. 

For most of us, being humble is easier in theory than it is in practice. Reaching out in Christian Love and kindness often means being a peacekeeper and letting go of the need to be right or to win an argument. God wants us to walk with humility at work, on social media, and at home. When we're frustrated with someone across the table or online, considering the words and deeds of others through the lens of Jesus' sacrificial love for us can bring clarity. Our scripture for today is Ephesians 4:1–3, which says, “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”Let's pray. Lord, we live in a world that praises getting the last word. Being the loudest voice, or the winner of every argument is not your will for us. Bless us with the spirit of humility and guide us in being peacekeepers online and in person. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

1 Corinthians 131 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

As we conclude our Tenth Season we have tried to find, yet again, a New Year's Eve movie...and what we continue to find are movies that are not very good! However, this movie caused Michael and Jeffrey to take a good hard look at culture and the intersecting point of faith for Christians. How does a Christian "live and interact" with "Samaria?" How do we demonstrate Christian Love and Care while also not affirming the sin that surrounds us? Join us for the conclusion of season 10 and don't worry if you haven't seen the movie...we don't recommend you watch it!

The Practical Christian Life1st Thess 4:9-12Paul turns from teaching on chastity to teaching on charity. Teaching about LOVE. His words are extremely practical. He deals with three areas in which we must abound in love:The OBJECTS of our Christian Love.The OUTLINE of a Christian Lifestyle.The OBLIGATIONS of a Christian Testimony. A Christian is someone who knows and has experienced the love of God, and shows that love in his attitude to other believers, in our own lifestyle, and in our witness to our neighbours.Read the Notes HERE.
