This message continues the series Life in the Kingdom: the Sermon on the Mount, "Costly Love." October 29, 2023. Pastor Joe Kappel. Auditorium.

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.

This morning, I am continuing in the sermon series “The power of one life,” looking at minor Biblical characters and what we learn from them about God and our relationship with Him. Today I want to look at a woman named Gomer, who is found in the book of Hosea. Hosea was a prophet, the last prophet to prophesy to the northern kingdom of Israel before it fell to the Assyrian Empire in 722 BC. The role of a prophet was to be a covenant mediator. At Mt. Sinai, God had made a covenant with Moses and Israel – I will be your God, and this is what it means to be my people. Whenever the people of God were breaking the covenant and were in danger of bringing upon themselves the curses found in the covenant, God would raise up a prophet who would speak His words of warning to the people. Chief among God's expectations was not to have any gods before Him, and not to make or worship any idols. In Hosea's time, as was the case throughout much of Israel's history, they were guilty of worshiping foreign gods, most notably Ba'al, the Canaanite fertility god, who the Canaanites believed lived with his consort Anath. The Canaanites believed that Ba'al was responsible for giving the water and fertility to their crops. Their method of “prayer” and worship was to stimulate him to acts of fertility by having sex with the sacred shrine prostitutes. Naturally, many Israelites came to believe that they needed to honor the local god, Ba'al, in order to have a rich crop. Perhaps you can understand why God commanded them to drive the Canaanites out of the land, lest they be a stumbling block to them. So that is the setting. God's people are falling into idolatry and worshiping other gods, compromising their sexual purity in the process. They are violating their covenant with God and are in danger of bringing upon themselves the curses. And into this scene, God raises up a prophet named Hosea, and gives him a unique calling.

When you give to God, what does it cost you? If you were to give like God, it would cost you everything. But God isn't asking for everything—Jesus already took care of our debts. Our gifts are in response to His sacrifice, and sometimes we are called to give above and beyond. Learn from Pastor Chuck why willingly giving generously of "our" treasures can have such a profound effect on our faith.

What does it mean to return to first love and truly delight in Jesus, no matter the cost? In this final episode of season four, Jenna and Danielle continuing discussing how following Jesus is costly, but so worth it all.  As this duo unpacks and speaks scripture, hear about Gods great love that provokes a response in His disciples. I will go to the mountaintop with you—the mountain of suffering love and the hill of burning incense. Yes, I will be your bride. - Song of Solomon 4:6 TPT Discipleship Begins with Beholding, Samuel Whitefield

Today Pastor Ryan continues his look at Bob Goff's Live in Grace, Walk in Love. Today's scripture is Romans 5:7-8 and 1 John 3:17-18.

When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.” 3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, 4 and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”Jesus Anointed at Bethany 6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. 8 And when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? 9 For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

The Fruit of Love. Sermon notes & questions

The Fruit of Love. Sermon notes & questions

This week we ask what can be a great diagnostic question for how closely we're following Jesus: where is our love costing us? Is our love simply for our own gain -- love that flows to friends and family? Or does our love flow outward in a way where we lose something for a greater gain? This Sunday, Josh shares more about how Jesus models this costly love by staying close to God, providing a way for us to go and do likewise.

Boaz redeems Ruth and Naomi. Happy ending and beginning!

God loves us with a costly love, a love that went to the cross for us. He calls us to love in the same way: to take up our cross and limitlessly love Him and other people. This is the first core value of August Gate Church, the ultimate reason for why we do all that we do.

Passage: John 13:34-35 Speaker: Michael Tso Series: We Are A Faith Family Living The Costly Love Of Jesus

Welcome to Village Church. We're a community that's all about loving Jesus and loving one another. To find out more, head to vc.org.au, we'd love to hear from you. This...

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. 

This Resurrection Sunday, Ps Aaron wraps up our ‘Costly Love’ series, revealing the resurrection as a life- altering, world-changing moment from which we are called to live out our lives. What does it mean to see life through the resurrection?

The post Costly Love appeared first on Redeemer Church of South Hills.

by Deborah Leighton

Jo Robertson examines the costly nature of love, and how we need to take the time to see people as they really are in order to love them as they really are - just like the woman who anointed Jesus' head with perfume did.

Love is shown through our actions, not just our words.

The disciples endure imprisonment and torture for loving their city. To be a church for the city, we must count the cost...and choose to love anyway.
