I'm so excited for you to meet my friend Jenny Marrs in this episode, she is the real deal: generous, grounded, and hilariously honest about what it's like to parent a big, beautiful, complicated family. Jenny's new book, Trust God, Love People (out October 7 — grab it wherever you buy books), is a collection of short, bite-sized stories of God's faithfulness written especially for busy parents who don't have time to read a memoir cover-to-cover. We talk adoption, spiritual warfare, and the he middle of the mess, yes, including Jenny's delightful obsession with “heart rocks” (you'll want to start collecting them on your next walk). If you're in a waiting season — adoption, infertility, loss, or any long “not yet” — Jenny's honesty about how waiting reshaped her faith will land like a warm hand on your shoulder. She shares the ways her family marks God's faithfulness (photos, rocks, kitchen bowls full of memory) and how those markers bring perspective when grief or chaos arrives. We also get real about life in the public eye: filming a family show, the hard comments online, and protecting kids while being authentic. Jenny's practical tiny tweaks are gold for busy moms: bring meals, send a quick “thinking of you” text, call people by name, and keep a giant handwritten calendar where everyone can see it — simple, doable, meaningful. Before we go, Jenny answers rapid-fire (including what she's clinging to in hard times — a New Year's trip countdown on her airline app — and one filming secret: outfit changes for days). Tiny tweak reminder from us both this week: if someone comes to mind, bring them a meal or send a quick note, loving people well is usually small, and it matters more than we know. Mentioned in This Episode:
Polygamy. Genocide. Slavery. The hardening of Pharaoh's heart. Loving Jacob but hating Esau. Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament? The Bible contains some difficult topics to understand. In this series, we will do our best to face these challenges head-on.#bibleclass #jesus #bible #faith #understandingthebible
By calling God "Love" are we misunderstanding a spiritual principle and using it as an excuse to spiritually bypass? Rev Kelly and Rev Ogun discuss how the spiritual principle of LOVE is too often conflated with the comfort of emotional love, and why it leads to silence and inaction. ________ ** SAVE THE DATES ** Our final book club selection of the year SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE by John Fugelsang will take place via Zoom on Thursdays, Nov 6, 13, 20 at 7:30-9:00pm ET. Registration coming soon.

God loves because it is His nature to love. But His love never operates at odds with or in opposition to his other attributes. God's love is eternal, just, sovereign, immutable, and righteous. The post The Attributes of God: Love appeared first on Reston Bible Church.

"People don't have a sin problem, they have a love problem."—Rev. Brett Barriger
In this message, Minister Mark Ashton explores 1 John 3 and the radical call to love one another—not just in words, but with our lives, actions, and truth. Through a humorous yet powerful metaphor comparing two very different dogs, Sugar and Dakota, he challenges us to examine how we reflect the love of God in everyday relationships.John, now an elder apostle writing to all kinds of people, urges believers to embrace sacrificial love, avoid jealousy and hate like Cain, and live as people who belong to the truth. With three piercing questions—How do we know what love is? How do we know we belong to truth? How do we know God lives in us?—this message invites you to a deeper, Spirit-led life of obedience and transformation.Whether you're feeling like the "good dog," the “challenging,” or somewhere in between, God's grace is enough. At CCC, everyone is welcome—from single moms to CEOs, from the faithful to the struggling. Because in Christ, we are all being changed from the inside out.
Pastor Seth S. Kim spoke on Revelation 4:1-5:14 during Part 10 of the Love God Love My City sermon series, where we learned when the Church puts Jesus at the center, we allow His glory to enter.

In today's powerful episode, we discuss the transformational truth behind one of the most important questions we can ever ask: How much does God love you?Join us as we explore:· Studying the Bible to Understand God's Love:Discover how diving into Scripture helps reveal the depth and nature of God's unconditional love. Understanding His Word is the foundation for knowing Him more intimately.· God's Love Is Unconditional: Unlike the world's love, God's love is not based on performance, achievements, or worthiness. His love is constant, everlasting, and freely given.· Overcoming Fear and Insecurity: When we have a revelation of God's love, fear loses its grip. Insecurity fades when we know we are fully known and fully loved by our Creator.· The More We Know God, the More We ExperienceHis Love: God's love is not just a concept—it's an experience. As we grow in our relationship with Him, our hearts are transformed and peace takes root.“We love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19 NKJV) Watch or listen now and elevate your faith!Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share this episode withsomeone who needs to be reminded of God's perfect love.
1 John is the basis of this episode. Krissy Bakke the hippie Christian recorded not just once but twice, cause when you love your listeners you try to shout them out and she forgot the first time. Listen and hear how we love cause God loves. It's short and while it is one perspective, no doubt you will come away with something good.
And Another One…. Please, welcome Esteban Hernandez, he is a former boss of mine. The reason why I wanted to bring Esteban and share his story is because he impressed me with his confidence and hard work. He's not scared to start a new venture… and my first question was… why isn't he scared God? So I stared asking Esteban deep questions to investigate, find out, to try and understand… and I discovered that our past traumas and social environment are huge factors to our development. Now, this doesn't mean we have the excuses to fail because our environment and traumas predefined us for failure… NO! We must convert the pain and hurt to motivation and fuel to propel our goals and dreams (We just needed someones help, mom, dad, brother, sister, and even if no one help… we always had God in our corner without even knowing it). But… Esteban had both his mom and dad at home growing up, he never heard mom and dad fight, was demonstrated love and support thru out his childhood. Esteban was supported, taught, and given values constantly by both parents. So this really got my attention, so I started asking God more questions… how much more confidence does this give him? How does this shape his confidence? His decision making? His fear or flight pattern?? Well… take a listen to watch the episode to see how powerful a mom and dad truly are for themselves but for their children, Thank you Esteban for coming on the podcast, sharing your story and giving us an understanding of the power of true pure… LOVE!! Please connect with us, via comments, your stories, what relates and / or what helps you… as we understand we are not alone or the only ones. Help is here for you too. Family and friends I ask for a favor, please feel free to comment, share, like, subscribe and turn on notifications! My email is Themaceffect19@gmail.com for all questions and inquiries. I promise you this will bless you. How do I know, because my God word is never void. My (our) prayer for this season 5, Dear God, gives us the wisdom to hear and listen with attention, patience and the will to accept what is for me (us). I ask that you develop and grow me (us) as individuals, so that I (we) can be of a blessings to those around us, family, friends and all relationships in between. I have faith and strongly believe this season 5 will be of impact and create memorable moments. Bring… change, challenge, and healing. The MAC Effect is in your hands, grow it, use it, this is yours. I pray for the mission statement to be: “Helping / Leading hurt people, to hope. In heart, mind, body and spirit” but open to change if you please to do so. I pray all this in Jesus Christ name, Amen' I want to thank all my guest in advance for the love and time gifted to this podcast, as all is a direct blessing and healing to my inner child, and others.

On this Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Ruthie Seiders delivers a heartfelt and Spirit-filled message titled “Just Love and Live in God,” rooted in 1 John 4:7–21. Through personal stories—including her wedding 42 years ago in a seminary chapel—and deep biblical insight, Pastor Ruthie unpacks what it means to live in agape love: a love that originates with God, is revealed through Christ, and is made real in us by the Holy Spirit.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about God's Love. Does God love every individual equally? Obviously, John 3:16 would indicate that He loves all people, but are there degrees to His love for different people? Does He love the righteous more than the wicked?

AMENPODCAST.COMMatthew 22:34-40 Bible StudyFrom the Amen Podcast with Alex and LokalaniScripture ReadingBut when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."— Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV)ContextIn this passage, Jesus faces the third and final question from religious leaders trying to trap him during Holy Week. The Pharisees had already tried to entrap him with a question about taxes. The Sadducees had attempted to trick him with a theological puzzle about resurrection. Now, a lawyer from the Pharisees tests Jesus about which of the 613 commandments in the law is greatest.Christ's answer is brilliant and silences his critics. He doesn't simply pick one law over the others—he summarizes the entire law by combining two passages:* Deuteronomy 6:5 — "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."* Leviticus 19:18 — "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."Key Points1. The Command Is Also an InvitationWhen Jesus answers with "love God and love your neighbor," he's not just giving a command; he's offering an invitation to freedom. God's commandments were never meant to be oppressive rules but a pathway to life, joy, and communion with Him and others.2. Love God, Love PeopleThis "greatest commandment" is comprehensive and binary:* Vertical relationship: Love God with your whole being* Horizontal relationship: Love your neighbors as yourselfEvery other commandment flows from these two principles. If we love God truly, we will keep His commandments. If we love our neighbors, we will not harm them but seek their good.3. The Example of Onan: Breaking the Greatest CommandmentIn Genesis 38:8-10, we see Onan refusing to fulfill his duty to his deceased brother's wife, Tamar. By selfishly seeking his own gratification without responsibility, Onan:* Failed to love God by disrespecting His plan for the family lineage* Failed to love his neighbor (Tamar) by denying her security and protectionThis story illustrates how we become selfish when we break the greatest commandment. We choose gratification over responsibility, personal desires over the needs of others.4. Christ Perfectly Fulfilled the CommandmentJesus is the only one who perfectly loved God and others:* He loved God so much that he was obedient to death on a cross* He loved his neighbors (us) so much that he laid down his life for us while we were still sinnersJesus didn't just teach the greatest commandment—he demonstrated it through his sacrifice.Application Questions* How can you love God more fully this week? Consider practical ways to express your love through obedience, worship, and time with Him.* Who is your "neighbor" that needs your love right now? Think about family members, coworkers, church members, and actual neighbors who might need encouragement, forgiveness, or practical help.* In what areas of your life are you being selfish like Onan? Where are you choosing gratification over responsibility?* How has your perspective on God's commands changed? Do you see them as restrictive rules or as invitations to freedom and love?* What gifts has God given you that you can use to love others in your church community?Closing ThoughtsWhen we shift our mindset from "I have to love God and others" to "I get to love God and others," everything changes. This isn't just a duty—it's a privilege and the pathway to true joy.The more we walk in obedience, the more natural loving God and loving others becomes. As we grow in Christ, we find that loving others flows more easily from us because God's own love fills our hearts.Remember: To love God is to obey Him. To love others is to serve them. And in doing both, we experience the life Jesus intended for us."How can you love God and love others?" Share your answers in the comments below!PrayerFather, thank you for your leadership and for teaching us in ways we never expected. Help us to remember that loving you and loving others is not merely a command but an invitation to experience life as you designed it. Guide us to love you through our obedience and to love others through service and sacrifice. In Jesus' name, amen.amen podcast website This is a public episode.
