What does it really mean when the Bible says, “God is love”? In 1 John 4, we're invited to see love not as a vague feeling or cultural slogan, but as something rooted in the very being of God. God's love is revealed most clearly in Jesus Christ, who came near, gave Himself for us, and calls us to love one another. This message explores: • Why “God is love” is such a powerful claim • How Jesus reveals the true meaning of love • Why Christian love is sacrificial, present, and purposeful • What it means for God's love to be perfected in the church • How perfect love drives out fear • Why loving God cannot be separated from loving His people Love is not just something we talk about. It is something God forms in us as we abide in Him and learn to love one another.

Who is God? The good news about an overwhelming question. A sermon for Trinity Sunday by Rev. Justin Morgan.

Read OnlineGod so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:16–18Saint John the Apostle is identified in his Gospel as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” a title that appears multiple times and has been consistently understood in the Church's tradition to refer to John himself (cf. John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7; 21:20). By calling himself the beloved disciple, John was revealing his interior experience of the perfect love he encountered in Jesus. Certainly, Jesus loved everyone—equally and without limit. Yet John includes this personal designation not to claim favoritism, but to offer a personal testimony to the divine love made manifest in Christ's humanity—love he experienced firsthand and which changed his life.Love plays a central role in John's writings—not only in his Gospel but also in his letters and the Book of Revelation. In his First Letter, likely written to the Christian communities he helped convert and shepherd, John declares: “God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 John 4:16). This is both a personal sentiment and a profound theological affirmation. John speaks from both divine inspiration and lived experience; he had walked with Love Incarnate. To say “God is love” is to profess that love is not something God merely does—it is who God is. God's love is not a feeling, not sentimentality, but the pure, self-giving, eternal communion of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a love that precedes and surpasses all creation.That mystery lies at the very heart of today's Solemnity. Because God is Love in His very essence, love naturally flows from His divine nature in superabundance. God loves because He is Love. Today's Gospel reveals the most perfect expression of that divine essence: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” This eternal, Trinitarian love is made visible in time when the Father sends the Son, conceived by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.Why does God give His Son? So that we might not perish but have eternal life. That is, so we may be drawn into the very life of God—into the Trinitarian communion of love. God desires to rescue us from condemnation and to share with us His Divine Existence.This is the essence of Divine Love. This is the Trinity. And this is the astonishing invitation extended to every soul: To believe in the Son is to begin participating in the eternal love that flows ceaselessly between the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit—a love that never ends. We are invited to be caught up by the love of God into Love Himself: the eternal communion of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Trinity Sunday is set apart on the Church's calendar to renew our awe, deepen our understanding, and intensify our worship of the central mystery of our faith: that God is One in essence and Three in Persons. While every liturgy honors the Trinity—through prayers to the Father, in the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit—this solemnity invites us to pause and gaze more intentionally into the inner life of God as it has been revealed to us. We do not celebrate a theological abstraction but a divine Personhood: the eternal exchange of love between the Father and the Son, perfectly expressed and eternally proceeding in the Holy Spirit.Reflect today on the Most Holy Trinity. We were made to share in Their Life and Love. Though the fullness of the Trinity remains a mystery beyond human grasp, it is not beyond human encounter. Through grace, revelation, and contemplative union, God draws us to Himself—not to explain Himself, but to be consumed by Him. Celebrate this day by repeatedly praying one of the most ancient and simple prayers in the Church:Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen! Most Holy Trinity, I love You and trust in You!  Image: Leandro Bassano, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the love of God and Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation.  Understanding how God loves, including Jesus and the Holy Spirit as part of the Trinity, helps Christians know God more intimately.  May more Christians understand that God is love by understanding His love from the Word of God.  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.  

What does it truly mean that God is love? In week two of the GOD IS series, we explore the biblical reality of God's holy, sacrificial, and transformative love revealed through Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Johnathan as he unpacks how God's love changes our identity, restores our relationship with Him, and transforms the way we live. NEXT STEPS: I will be reminded of the awe of God's love. I am going to join a CONNECT GROUP or serve on a DREAM TEAM.

This sermon addresses one of the most fundamental yet difficult truths for many believers to embrace—that God genuinely loves them. The pastor vulnerably shares his own struggle with believing in God's love, tracing it back to his relationship with an abusive, alcoholic father who made him feel he had to earn love through achievement. While many Christians readily accept God's omniscience, omnipresence, and holiness, they struggle to internalize His personal love for them. The message emphasizes that what we believe about God determines how we live, making it critical to embrace the truth of His love. The sermon explores four foundational truths: God IS love (not just that He has or does love), His love is revealed in creation, His love is communicated through Scripture, and His love is demonstrated ultimately in Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The pastor challenges listeners to consider how their lives would transform if they never had to question whether God loves them, arguing that this assurance would bring unprecedented confidence, faith, peace, and trust.

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the love of God that brings up His children.  Without this type of love in one's life, a person is not His child.  May all Christians understand this love of God and allow it to have a place in their lives.  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

[ 1 John 4: 7-16 ] Part 16 of "1-3 John: Letters of Gospel Assurance"

In this message, Pastor Caleb begins a series of looking at love biblically, but more importantly, understanding what it means that "God is love".  Understanding the definitions, context, and other scriptures builds the doctrine of maturing in biblical love and allows knowledge of who God is.  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

Why does justice matter in the Gospel? || The Truth Simply Put with PAV [As Broadcast on Radio]   In Episode 6 of The Truth Simply Put with PAV, Alexander Victor opens up a vital truth many people miss: God's love does not cancel His holiness, and His mercy does not require the compromise of His justice. God is perfectly holy, perfectly righteous, and utterly without corruption. That means He does not bend His standards, dilute His nature, or overlook wrongdoing in order to appear compassionate.   This episode explores the great tension at the heart of the human story: if God is just, righteous, and holy, how can He also show mercy to those He loves? How can He uphold justice without destroying the people He came to save?   The answer is found at the cross.   At the cross, God did not compromise His righteousness. He did not suspend justice. He satisfied it. The cross is where the holy justice of God and the loving mercy of God meet without contradiction. In Jesus CHRiSt, God judged what had to be judged, yet made a way for the one who believes to be justified and saved.   This episode shows: why God's holiness matters, why justice is essential to the Gospel, why mercy is not corruption, and why the cross shines most brightly when we see that God remained just while justifying the one who believes in Jesus.   _____   If you have just believed in and received the Lord Jesus during the course of this broadcast, we would love to hear from you—as well as if you'd like to partner with PAV through the PAV AIRFORCE LEAGUE initiative, or to invite PAV to speak at your event.

Sunday, May 10, 2026 Standalone Sermon Passage: 1 John

It's easy to treat faith like an aquarium: you can see it “over there,” but it doesn't touch real life on your side of the glass. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks push back hard on that. In this episode, they connect Easter-season love to a daily-life obstacle that quietly blocks evangelization and honest relationships: the fear of **manipulating people** or being manipulated. Joe explains why uncomfortable conversations (including talking about Jesus) often trigger something old in us—early childhood experiences of seeing adults lie to salespeople, learning “salesperson = being used,” and then carrying that resistance into adulthood. Father widens it: we often avoid speaking about Jesus because we fear offending people or being rejected, but sincere witness isn't “selling a bill of goods.” It's relationship. Truth has to be offered according to the “mode of the receiver,” with humility and respect, not as abrasive broadcasting. They also contrast modern comfort with the apostles' willingness to suffer for the truth—and emphasize that we're called to share the faith anyway, even when it feels socially risky. The episode lands in a practical place: treat people as persons, not tools. Father names what John Paul II called the **personalistic norm**—a person is an end in themselves and must not be used. Even in everyday transactions (restaurants, stores), the heart matters: are we cooperating toward shared goods, or dehumanizing the other? Joe closes with a simple “this week” practice to rebuild the habit of gratitude and humanization: write a thank-you note—short, specific, real. **Key Ideas*** Faith can't stay behind glass; integrated faith changes how we live, work, and relate. * Fear of “selling” or manipulating often comes from childhood patterns and makes hard conversations feel unsafe. * Witness is relational: give truth with humility, timing, and respect for what someone can receive. * The personalistic norm: people are not tools; treat every interaction as cooperation toward shared goods. * Practice for the week: write a short, specific **thank-you note** to humanize and strengthen relationships. **Links & References (official/source only)**```text id="qr0v9r"None explicitly referenced with clear official/source URLs in this transcript.```**CTA:** If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Heaven is hard to picture because everything in us is trained to see life through “today.” In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks try to imagine what eternal life in God's love would actually be like—and why that vision matters right now. Father shares how funerals naturally force the question: where are we headed, what are we made for, and why do we settle for compromised relationships that stay “safe” but never become truly trusting, vulnerable, or healed?Using a strong image, Father compares heaven to the picture on the front of a puzzle box: you place the pieces better when you know what the finished product looks like. Joe extends it with real puzzle experience—the piece you've stared at 15 times finally fits when you turn it the right way. The same is true in love: we can't fully “see the box cover” of perfect love, but we can get glimpses through our best relationships—and through the promises of Scripture.Father then describes a startling aspect of heaven: the glorified body—totally subject to the will, no longer hiding the interior. That means total vulnerability without terror, because everyone is fully reverenced, protected, and purified in love. Joe connects it to modern life: AI can feel like relational “Doritos”—tasty convenience that ultimately weakens real human connection. The episode closes with a practical path forward: if we want to love better, we need self-knowledge about the defenses we built (often pre-cognitively) from real wounds—and then the courage to take wise, measured risks toward trust and repair.Key IdeasHeaven's perfect love “blows dust off” what we settle for: guarded, minimized, conflict-avoiding relationships.A vision of heaven is like the puzzle-box picture: it motivates and guides how we place the pieces of daily love.The glorified body suggests total integration: body fully subject to will, interior fully expressed—total vulnerability without fear.Healing isn't “try harder”; it's letting ourselves be loved in places of shame, usually practiced first in trusted relationships.Growth path: increase self-knowledge about where we guard, why we don't trust, and whether repair/apology/confrontation is needed.Scripture Mentioned (no links)“Eye has not seen, ear has not heard…” (St. Paul quote referenced)“We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (St. John quote referenced)“Love one another as I have loved you” (Jesus' command referenced)Links & References (official/source only)None explicitly referenced with clear official/source URLs in this transcript.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

What does God's love truly look like in a world that constantly redefines it? In Episode 23 of God's Image in Man, Duane Sheriff teaches that love is not an emotion or feeling that comes and goes. True love originates from God alone, and unless we're born of Him and know Him, we cannot truly comprehend or express authentic love.God revealed true love at the cross, where He proved His love through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Love is not just something God says—it is what He did. When God's image is restored in us through Christ, we become empowered to love as He loves and to serve as His representatives to a confused world seeking love.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

The guys confess their most egregious romance fails from forgotten birthdays, last-minute Valentine's plans, and bookstore traditions gone stale to wildly different philosophies on “setting the bar” in marriage. Al uses the pain of romance to highlight another truth: there's pain that hurts, and pain that alters. That distinction becomes personal as Zach opens up about his mother's long battle with early-onset dementia and the complicated grief that followed her passing. The conversation turns to one of Christianity's hardest realities: if God is good and all-powerful, why does so much suffering continue in the world?  In this episode: Ecclesiastes 3, verse 11; Psalm 90, verse 12; Hebrews 12, verse 2; Colossians 2, verses 20–23; Romans 1, verses 24–25; Romans 8, verses 20–23; 1 John 2, verses 15–16; 1 John 4, verses 8–10 Today's conversation is about Lesson 6 of C.S.
