Advent E4 — We're ending our short Advent series with a reflection on love. In the Hebrew Bible, the word “ahavah” involves faithfulness to God and living by his wisdom, but it also means showing practical care to others—especially the vulnerable. Jesus views this love for God and neighbor as the greatest command, and he expands it to be indiscriminate, radical kindness and generosity even toward our enemies. The New Testament authors were so blown away by this kind of love that they adopted an obscure Greek word for love, “agape,” and redefined it to be a self-giving, sacrificial love that Jesus demonstrates in his life, teaching, death, and resurrection. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the main biblical words for love, showing how the story of Advent characterizes agape as God's own essence and our calling. FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Hebrew Bible's Understanding of Love (0:00–13:17)Agape and Jesus' Redefinition of Love (13:17–21:25)God Is Love (21:25–31:10)Reflections on Love With JoDee (31:10-36:12)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology by Nijay GuptaAhavah / Love: Though not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word ahavah.Agape / Love: Also not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word, agape.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Clouds ft. ahmo” by Lofi Sunday“Warm Hugs” by Lofi Sunday & Cassidy Godwin“Snowflakes” by AvesBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

Advent is about waiting for God's love to break into our world, just as generations before Christ's birth waited for the promised Messiah. The prophets spoke hope into darkness, promising a child who would be called Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace. Elizabeth waited her whole life for a child and experienced overwhelming joy when God fulfilled His promise. Mary, despite her youth and uncertainty, said yes to carrying God's son, trusting that love was on the way. Joseph chose trust over fear, protecting Mary and standing by God's plan. The shepherds, ordinary people doing their jobs, became the first to hear the good news and couldn't contain their joy. Today, we continue this waiting, looking for God to move in our lives while sharing the hope we've found with others.

God demonstrates his love for the world by sending his (willing) Son to bring salvation to humanity - more than that, to the ends of the earth!  It began with God's Son taking on humanity (fully human and fully God), becoming incarnate in the flesh.  Why would God do this, become this?

What do you hear when thinking stops?When wanting stops? Ask yourself that question and linger in the silence behind the question. Who am I when I want nothing? ...Before I went to India,I was told in a very Divine way by someone sent to me,to come there with an empty heart,and an empty mind,not wanting anything,not desiring anything,not craving anything,not seeking solutions or answers,not seeking anything,not expecting anything at all.And I felt it.I heard that message so clearly.And of course, the mind came up and I said, "Well, how do I do that? How do I go about doing that?"And he said, "just Love God."The Loving replaces the wanting.It eclipses it.You just keep quiet.You go where there are not words, and you find the Love (t)here, and you place your attention (t)here.The wanting may still be (t)here,but your attention is on the Loving,it's on the having. He said, "You come like that,you come empty and open, and you'll get everything you want.Everything you wanted. That's the secret.I love younikSupport the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings"Give me grace to see beyond this moment here. to believe that there is nothing left to fear. that You alone are high above it all." - @proverbs_31life"I am where thereare no words." -Ramana Maharshi"Examine everything in life & say THIS IS NOTHING,, & what remains is love,,& that is everything..." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "The great void is subject to destruction, the AJAPA ([mantra repeated mentally] Simran without tongue, Name remembrance which goes on automatically) is also subject to destruction. The region of Unstuck Melody is similarly subject to destruction. Kabir says only those who are lovers of Ram [God] shall not die. They have become forever immortal." - KabirPassages from the Radiance Sutras "Desiring and knowing, Knowing and desiring.Just for a breath,Forget what you want.Forget what you know.Receive the real teaching.""Radiant One, inquire:Before desire arises in me, who am I?Before I know anything, who am I?Seek always the intimate joy Of your original Self,And move through this world in freedom."

Heart For The House is more than a moment — it's a posture of the heart. Loving God means loving what He loves, and Scripture is clear: Jesus loves His Church.In this Heart For The House message, we're challenged to examine how we love the Church and whether our commitment is rooted in convenience or sacrifice. Through the example of David, we see what it looks like to give with no strings attached — investing in a house of worship he would never personally benefit from, simply because he loved God and loved His house.In this message, you'll discover:- How generosity reveals what we truly love- The danger of neglecting the Bride of Christ- How your giving builds something that will outlive youScriptures Referenced:- 1 Chronicles 29:1–5- Ephesians 5:25- Acts 9:4Heart For The House isn't about equal gifts — it's about equal sacrifice. When we give because we love Jesus and His Church, we become part of what God is building for generations to come.

Presented by Julie Busteed I've been reflecting on John 15—on what Jesus told his disciples during his final moments with them before everything in their world changed. Before the crucifixion. Before the resurrection. They had walked with him for three years, watching his ministry unfold. It must have been an intense, exciting, and bewildering time for them. They believed he was the Messiah, yet so much was happening in ways they did not expect. Jesus understood this. And in these last hours, he offered them words of encouragement and life—words meant for us as well. He spoke about abiding in him, remaining with him through every up and down, through every season. Relationship with him isn't passive; like any meaningful relationship, it requires time, attention, and intention. But it is also our source of life, and he promises so much to those who stay close to him. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you (John 15:9–12). To abide is to remain in his love. Jesus followed his Father's will—even to the cross—and he invites us to follow him by obeying his commandments: to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, and to love others as he has loved us. When we live in that kind of love, our desires become aligned with his, and Scripture says we can ask for anything, and it will be done. I love the way St. Augustine puts it: “Love God and do whatever you please.”[1] When we truly love God, obedience flows naturally and our hearts become aligned with his. December is here, and the holiday hustle is already competing for our time and attention. My prayer is that during this busy season, you and I will still find ways to make our relationship with Christ our highest priority. It's so easy to be pulled in a hundred directions—gifts, food, shopping, gatherings, events—all good things. But the best thing we can do is spend time with the one who laid down his life for us, the one who humbled himself and came as a baby so he could bring us salvation. As you reflect on this truth, may your love for him deepen and your heart overflow—so much so that your family, friends, and coworkers experience his love through you. — [1] “What is the scriptural basis for ‘Love God and do whatever you please'?” Christianity StackExchange, 2013, https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/15242/what-is-the-scriptural-basis-for-love-god-and-do-whatever-you-please.

Tuesday December 9, 2025II Week of AdventToday's Advent Reading:Amos 7:10–17Revelation 1:9–16Matthew 22:34–46In Amos 7:10–17, the prophet faces rejection from Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, who tries to silence his message. But Amos stands firm—not because he sought the role, but because God called him. Advent reminds us that God often uses ordinary people with ordinary beginnings to speak extraordinary truth.In Revelation 1:9–16, John encounters the risen Christ in blazing glory—eyes like fire, voice like rushing waters, face shining like the sun. This is not the baby in the manger… this is the King who reigns now and forever. Advent lifts our eyes to both His humility and His majesty.In Matthew 22:34–46, Jesus brings all of Scripture into focus with two commands: Love God with everything. Love your neighbor as yourself. Then He reveals that the Messiah is not merely David's son, but David's Lord. Advent calls us deeper into love and higher in worship.As we wait for Christ, these passages remind us: Stand firm in your calling. Fix your eyes on His glory. Live in His love.

In her message, Kay Ellison asked the question how did Jesus handle living under a regime? And can I learn something from what Jesus did?

This Sunday, the second Sunday of Advent, we focus on the Love God revealed in Jesus.

In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I expose a truth many avoid: you can't build lasting success with a fractured soul. If you're hitting your revenue goals but still feeling anxious, disconnected, or empty—it's not burnout. It's brokenness masquerading as progress.This isn't your typical talk about balance or self-care. Together, we dive into what biblical wholeness really means—and what it doesn't. I get raw about my own struggles juggling motherhood, marriage, and business while battling the temptation to perform publicly and fragment privately.You'll learn:Why wholeness has nothing to do with perfection and everything to do with alignmentThe five dimensions of wholeness—spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, and purpose—and how to assess where you're leaking powerHow success exposes wounds, and why healing them is not optional if you want to finish wellWhy your private life must be stronger than your public platform if you're serious about building Kingdom influenceYou'll walk away with a practical self-audit to identify your weakest area—and the clarity to finally confront it. Plus, I'll show you how to invite God back into the rooms of your life and business you've kept separate. The world doesn't need more high-achieving, image-obsessed entrepreneurs. It needs whole leaders—rooted, real, and Spirit-led.If you're ready to stop pretending and start integrating—this episode is for you! If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step. Join my Business Unlimited Group Mentoring Program—a Christ-centered community where we fast, pray, plan, and build together with prophetic precision and practical strategies.

Your worship team isn't just playing music. You're teaching theology and shaping hearts. So why are we settling for cover versions of songs when the church should be leading the world in creativity?  For centuries, the church birthed the world's greatest art: Bach's masterpieces, Handel's Messiah, hymns that shaped nations. But somewhere along the way, we stopped creating and started copying. Steele Croswhite, who toured with Foo Fighters and Maroon 5 before Jesus transformed his life, believes it's time to reclaim our creative calling.  After 20 years of ministry, Steele has built something revolutionary: a church where worship teams don't just play songs, they craft theological experiences that connect hearts to truth.   In this episode, discover:  Why worship leaders are actually theology teachers (and how your arrangements matter)  How the church went from creative pioneer to cultural follower and how to reverse it  The "Love God, Bless Saints, Win Lost" framework that transforms both music and hearts  The practical steps to help your musicians find their God-given voice  Listen now to hear what happens when creativity meets theology.   "The best bands in the world should come from the local church, because we're not just making music. We're making disciples." - Steele Croswhite  Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week.

I'm fascinated with the idea that we are to love God with all of our minds. The Bible sees the mind as a place of our thoughts, judgment, and intention.  Our minds allow us to be rational, weigh evidence, make decisions about right and wrong, and to develop opinions.  Our minds allow us to worship, praise God, love, repent, and trust.Main Points:1. Why is it important to consider loving God with our minds?  Because during a typical day, we constantly use our minds to make decisions.  How many thoughts pass through your mind every day?  Several studies have shown that we think around 6,000 thoughts per day. Our mind is a huge part of who we are. 2. Loving God with our minds is critical because our minds are connected to our emotions and our actions.3. God gives us the power to change how we think, so through even our thoughts, we are loving and honoring God. Today's Scripture Verses:Mark 12:29-30 - “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'”2 Corinthians 10:5 – “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Colossians 3:2 - “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”Romans 12:2  - “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”Colossians 1:9 - “So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

I often hear people say that the reason they've started coming to our Sunday services is because they want their kids to "grow up in church.” While I appreciate the idea, I often want to say something along the lines of, "I also think our Sunday gatherings are great, but what our kids actually need is to grow up around parents who are completely surrendered to Jesus.” I may not know a lot, but I do know this: you can't pass on what you don't personally possess. In other words, if we want to have something to give to the next generation, we must first acquire it for ourselves. This week, we will unpack what the Scriptures say is the precious possession and how to pass it down to those who follow us! The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

Enlightenment: Reason has triumphed over faith; Humanity has displaced God as the center of the universe; Man encouraged to achieve his full potential as an individual, derived from the same building blocks as all other living things over time. Pride has allowed man to place himself at the center.True enlightenment: Love God and Love Each Other.

Understanding Scripture doesn't have to feel confusing, dull, or out of reach.

Catching up with Annie Bosko after 20 years felt like picking up the same honest, fiery conversations we’ve always had—about life, faith, resilience, and finding your way. She’s still the California cowgirl with a backbone of steel and a heart wide open. Her debut album California Cowgirl shows that spirit in full force, with standout tracks like the Haggard-inspired “Bright and Blue Sky,” the tough-love jolt of “Cowboy Up,” and powerhouse collabs with Dwight Yoakam, Joe Nichols, and Darius Rucker. At the center of it? Love God. Love People. And Cowboy Up when life gets real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
