Podcasts about costly love

Paul's closing words to Philemon aren't just polite goodbyes—they're a living picture of the gospel. He steps into the gap between Philemon and Onesimus, saying, “If he's wronged you in any way, charge it to me,” embodying the costly love of Jesus who cancels our debts and calls us family. This passage invites us to live the same way—to move from closed circles to open tables where grace is practiced, debts are released, and reconciliation becomes visible to the world.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

This morning, we explored the deep connection between ourselves and the cross of Christ, focusing on the doctrine of atonement—how Jesus' sacrifice covers and removes our sins. We began by recognizing our total dependence on God every moment of every day, and how easily we drift into self-dependence when we lose sight of that. The story from John 7 and 8, particularly the woman caught in adultery, reveals not just a lesson in mercy, but a living illustration of atonement. The Pharisees, intent on upholding the law, brought the woman before Jesus to trap Him, but Jesus' response exposed both the hypocrisy of the accusers and the heart of God's redemptive plan. Jesus, by writing in the dirt and challenging anyone without sin to cast the first stone, upheld the law's standard while simultaneously revealing that none are qualified to judge except Himself. He did not dismiss the seriousness of sin, but neither did He condemn the woman. Instead, He removed her penalty and called her to a new life: “Go and sin no more.” This is the costly love of Christ—He accepts the code, but He takes the penalty upon Himself. The story is not just about the woman; it's about all of us. We are all like sheep who have gone astray, deserving of judgment, but Jesus steps in as both our judge and justifier. The cross is not a distant event; it is a personal connection. Jesus' atonement is not just a theological concept, but a lived reality for every believer. He sets us free from the law of sin and death, not so we can continue in our old ways, but so we can walk in the freedom and victory He has purchased for us. The call is not just to receive forgiveness, but to live differently—to “stop it,” to rebuke the old patterns, and to honor the price that was paid. We are not condemned; we are free, and that freedom is meant to be lived out daily, in gratitude and obedience.

Preached with fire and conviction, “Whatever It Takes” challenges the laziness, compromise, and lukewarmness that infect modern Christianity.Drawing from Acts 21 and Paul's willingness to suffer and die for the Gospel, Pastor Mitchell confronts the casual believer and compels every listener to re-evaluate their priorities. Whether it's choosing God over football, holiness over entertainment, or mission over comfort, this sermon is a prophetic word to a generation in spiritual decline.

Our first love is Christ, and we must remember the costly discipline of communicating with him. Subscribe to daily devotions e-mails: https://wcm.link/ddsub

A comparison of the Rich Young Ruler with Zacchaeus reveals the transforming power of Jesus' love over the power of money in our lives.

The relationship of parent to child is one that Paul uses in this passage and is helpful in understanding the relationship between those who proclaim the gospel and those who receive it. Children do not always appreciate their parents' sacrifices and sometimes even rebel against their parents. What motivates all that parents do for their children is love.In this passage, the Bible teaches how believers should respond to the gospel, the cost of ministry, and what motivates the preaching of the gospel.

God's costly love for us isn't simply our example to follow—it's what saves us and empowers us to show costly love to one another. Pastor Jonathan Fitzgerald preaches a sermon from 2 Corinthians 12:11-21 on the power of costly love.

In this well-known and beloved parable, Jesus describes two types of people: those who flee from God in a misguided quest for personal freedom and those whose attempts to obey God result in self-righteous resentment. Between them stands a father who loves them both with reckless abandon and who joyfully welcomes them home.

The Gospel of John pt 4John 13:31-38“Costly Love" // Dr. Gary Nebeker

God's love for us is costly. It cost Him His only Son, Jesus Christ. Tumigil ka sandali at pag-isipan ang katotohanang ito.Support the show (https://www.cbnasia.net/give)

Three parts to this encounter with Jesus: the beginning and end are illustrated with money. The middle two focus on the reality of eternal life, and the warning against those who seek earthy recognition as opposed to the rule of God in life..The spies and their craftiness to catch Jesus with an impossible situati  Jesus response is astonishing, creating a direct confrontation with  Their hypocrisy in using money while wanting the removal of a god  Their misunderstanding of the Kingdom of God  The Kingdom of God: Psalm 24: The earth is the Lord's and all it contained, the world and all who dwell in it.The bigger issue here is the understanding of what the Kingdom of God is about and why Jesus is about to fulfill all the prophecies. But the expectations of the religious leaders is vastly different.For them the Kingdom of God is linked with political aspirationsThe king is to bring secure borders, prosperity to all the Jewish peopleIt is like the Kingdom of David, and thus bringing freedom from the political oppression of a bloodthirsty nation that suppresses them.To this end, the encounter with the Sadducee is critical.  Their belief in no eternity, and no angels was from the time of Zadok the priest, who was an advisor to King David, was the more orthodox position in the philosophical gatherings of messianic understandings.  Yet their concepts blinded them to the reality of who Jesus really was and still is:The focus on the resurrection and eternal life is critical to knowing the real purposes of God! So Jesus confronts them while all the people are listening, and not only uses Exodus 3 and the burning bush with their tendency for exact interpretation of words, but also focuses on the prophecy of the son of David being greater than earthly kings!The final bit is, Jesus lifting his eyes and showing that the one who gives all for others has greater understanding of the Kingdom and more faith in the activity of the King than others do.
