What Is Love? God's Impossible Love
Generosity starts with a simple choice and aligns us with the faith of the early church. It's not just about what we give, but also about receiving and prioritizing worship. True generosity, the kind that makes you happy, is a sign of spiritual maturity. If you're giving out of obligation or fear, you're missing the point. Give from a place of joy and trust, not anxiety. Generosity should come from the heart, not worry.

Genesis 21 Pastor Matt Depp
Welcome to the first sermon of the "Love is a Verb" series reboot, where Pastor Logan embarks on a profound exploration of love's active nature during Black History Month at Prevail Church.

Through a biblical lens, he advocates for a gospel lived out loud, emphasizing shalom as the ultimate goal—a state of universal flourishing where love is not just felt but actively pursued and practiced. Join us as we journey through this transformative series, redefining love as the foundational action that drives genuine community engagement and spiritual growth.

When you weren't loved properly as a child, it's very, very common to become romantically involved in “complicated” relationships – where YOU'RE longing for something monogamous and committed and THEY'RE just jerking you around. With parents who were self-centered or who put you down, it's no wonder you developed the ability to see great potential in people who are basically broken. The brutal truth is that every day you spend pouring your energy and your love into someone who can't really DO a relationship with you, you're blocking the possibility of real love coming into your life. How can you tell if someone is worth “working with” through tough times, and when you're wasting your time? In this video I respond to a letter from a woman whose boyfriend is dragging her along through a lingering attachment to his ex.

There is so much happening in our world today. With the recent events in the Middle East so many of us have some type of emotional reaction to what is happening. But as Jesus followers how should we respond? Pastor Josiah walks us through several examples in scripture, and challenges us to maybe re-evaluate how we respond to tragic events in our world today.
Message preached at Grace Family Church, Caymanas Estate, Jamaica, by Mark Meynell on July 16, 2023.
"What is the cause of pain and what is the path to freedom from its physical manifestation?" a student asks. In his response, Shunyamurti explains that whatever dis-ease symptoms are appearing in the body or the mind are symbols of repressed heart-knowledge. Two questions can re-start the flow of Truth. Only Truth felt with deep love can set us free.
When the odds are impossible, love goes to work. Dr. Craig Keener, a respected scholar, was cautious after a broken relationship. Médine, a well-educated African woman, met Craig through a campus ministry and the two became friends. Long after they parted for their respective worlds, Craig realized his love for her and began the arduous--and often supernatural--journey to be reunited. Médine faced terror and disease as a refugee in the war-torn Congo. Their tender story of love beating the odds inspires others to believe that God's own great love for each of us will always overcome. Impossible Love https://www.amazon.com/Impossible-Love-African-Miracles-against/dp/0800797779 Dr. Keener did his Ph.D. work in New Testament and Christian Origins at Duke University and is known for his work as a New Testament scholar on Bible background (commentaries on the New Testament in its early Jewish and Greco-Roman settings). Well over a million of his thirty-plus books are in circulation and have won thirteen national and international awards.His award-winning, popular-level IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament (now in its second edition [2014], and available in a number of languages) has sold over half a million copies.The goal of this site is to reach a wide audience with selections from Dr. Keener's nontechnical writings and teaching videos to help anyone who studies the Bible to see the Scriptures in their historical context.Craig is married to Médine Moussounga Keener, who holds a Ph.D. from University of Paris 7. She was a refugee for 18 months in her nation of Congo, and together Craig and Médine work for ethnic reconciliation in the U.S. and Africa. Craig is ordained by the National Baptist Convention, an African-American denomination, and for roughly a decade was one of the associate ministers at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia. Craig and Médine's story together is Impossible Love: The True Story of an African Civil War, Miracles, and Hope Against All Odds (Chosen Books, 2016).

Episode 123: The Impossible Love The ways, works and words of Jesus are repeatedly revealed in Scripture in such a way that we feel compelled to both learn and emulate all that He says and does. Jesus' sermons were sometimes piercing because He went into the depths of the heart instead of just dealing with our external behaviors. He doesn't want us just to behave differently, He wants to transform our beliefs and our hearts so that, as we live like He did on earth, we do so with the same heart that He placed on display. One of His most challenging messages centered on how we love those who have wronged us. He challenged the way the normal culture taught people how to handle their enemies. He brings revelation about how God expects us to handle those who oppose us today. We are Kingdom Citizens, but we cannot claim to be like Jesus until we gain victory over this extremely challenging issue of becoming like Jesus when dealing with those who have treated us wrongly. In the end, the person who masters this teaching from Jesus enters a sustained maturity and victory that cannot otherwise be attained. Jesus does not budge on this expectation of drawing out the impossible love from His followers.

The central liturgical text in Judaism the “Shema” Deut 6….contains the command to “love Hashem with all your heart(s)”We explore the dual chambered heart and the Mishnaic exegesis of the good and evil desire brought into service of love.The Rambam seems to contradict himself as to the means to achieve this love and the Sifre (midrashic) doubts about loving something intangible.We try to resolve the difference between intellectual versus passionate love, with the hassidic masters.
Only the Holy Spirit can enable us to fulfill God's two greatest commandments.
Let us walk with assurance that as we demonstrate kindness patience and gentleness it is God's doing not ours. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timothy-kirk/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/timothy-kirk/support

Today I sit down with Dr. Craig Keener, the F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. I first encountered Craig's work in 2012 when I was about halfway through my Masters of Divinity. Our librarian was excitedly showing off the massive first volume of Keener's commentary on the book of Acts—his first volume of four! Little did I know I would later write my dissertation for Craig Keener on the a particular aspect of studying Jesus as a historical figure. Craig is an internationally respected expert on the #NewTestament in general, and on the #Gospels and #Acts in particular. He has authored several books for academic and general audiences, and has a fairly active YouTube channel as well. Find the links below to check out Craig's work.Craig's personal website includes links to his various publications, videos, and even his humorous cartoons about life in academia: https://craigkeener.com You can find several of Craig's academic books here: http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/authors/craig-s-keener/358 Craig has also published academic works here: https://www.eerdmans.com/AdvancedSearch/DefaultWFilter.aspx?SearchTerm=keener Craig and his wife Médine have co-authored a spiritual autobiography, Impossible Love: http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/authors/medine-moussounga-keener/2465 You can also find Craig's YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CraigKeenerPhD/videos

In this episode of the Curzon Film Podcast, we're lucky enough to be joined by Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who, The League of Gentleman) to talk about The Favourite, the new film from the director of The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.A triple threat of acting talent drives this acid period drama of courtly scheming. Olivia Colman is Queen Anne, a capricious and sickly ruler led by the nose by Rachel Weisz's courtier Lady Sarah. Abigail (Emma Stone) is a disenfranchised noblewoman who quickly sets about regaining her position by wheedling her way into the Queen's favours.Cue an equal parts hilarious and horrific love triangle-cum-battle royale, played out against the backdrop of the English Restoration. The fullest realisation of Yorgos Lanthimos's (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lobster) talents to date, The Favourite has the beauty of Barry Lyndon and the avant garde edge of Peter Greenaway. A fantastic start to the year of film.Discussing the film are Sam Howlett, Steven Ryder and Kelly PowellFollow the team on Social Media:@ks_powell - Kelly@jakehcunningham - Jake@SamHowlett_1 - Sam@hydra815 - StevenProduced and Edited by Jake CunninghamMusic from Incompetech.com Hosted on Acast.
