Podcasts about love like jesus

The goal of our lives here on earth is to influence people to have divine interactions with God by representing Him well. We want people to see Jesus in our lives as we answer the High Call. We must live a life of Divine influence while we ourselves are being influenced by the Divine. Our will is to line up to our Father's will for us to love like Jesus. We must pray and get His heart, and bask the Lord to awaken the harvesters because we are in the middle of harvest season!  Our passion must be to love God with all of our hearts and help other people to love Him too! Every day of our lives is an opportunity to be the light of the world, and let people see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. His heart is breaking for those who don't know Him!

We're Still Learning Pt. 4 | February 22, 2026Pastor Wes Morris Mark 3:1-6 (NLT) Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand. Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus' enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man's hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.” Then he turned to his critics and asked, “Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?” But they wouldn't answer him.He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored! At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.✓ HARD HEARTS VALUE BEING RIGHT OVER BEING LOVING.I Corinthians 8:1 (TLB) Next is your question about eating food that has been sacrificed to idols. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “know-it-all” makes us feel important, what is really needed to build the church is love.I Corinthians 13:2 (NIV) If I have all knowledge...but do not have love, I am nothing.✓ HARD HEARTS WITHHOLD COMPASSION TO STAY IN CONTROL.Mark 3:4 (NIV) Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.✓ HARD HEARTS ALLOW SILENCE TO TURN INTO SEPARATION.Mark 3:6 (NLT) At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.When compassion is withheld, resentment grows.When conversations are avoided, conclusions are assumed.What goes unspoken eventually becomes destructive.Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.LEARNING TO LOVE LIKE JESUS1. OPENNESS: GOD, I ASK YOU TO SEARCH MY HEART.Psalms 139:23–24 (NIV) Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”Q: Where do I need God to soften me - not fix someone else?2. HUMILITY: GOD, I REPENT HONESTLY AND QUICKLY.James 5:16 (NLT) Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.Q: Where has pride or defensiveness kept my heart from being open?3. LOVE: GOD, HELP ME LOVE PEOPLE THE WAY YOU LOVE THEM.John 13:34–35 (NIV) A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.Q: What would loving like Jesus look like in my relationships this week?

Speaker: John Dick. Date: 22, February 2026.

Are you looking for life and coming up empty? Maybe you've tried to pour yourself into your work, and found that it is just exhausting. So you turn to family and find that frustrating. Maybe a hobby, but who really has the time? We are looking for life in all the wrong places.Enter Jesus and The Gospel of John.Jesus was John's best friend and Lord. John writes, “That you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that by believing, you may have LIFE in His name.” And there it is - our great desire - LIFE! Not simply heart beating and breathing and going about the day. But a life of energy, vitality, and joy. A truly abundant life. John isn't writing so that we will survive in Jesus's name. He is writing so that we will thrive in Jesus's name.How?By knowing, understanding, and ultimately believing in Jesus. The entire gospel of John, everything that is written, is to help us get a clear picture of who Jesus is and why Jesus matters. So, for you - are tired of reaching for life and coming up empty? Are you tired of reaching for life in something temporary only to watch it go away over time? Jesus is not just life now, but abundant life for all eternity.If you want to know God, if you want to know life, then know Jesus.That is the purpose of the gospel of John, and that is what we will look at over the next several weeks as we seek to understand Jesus and come to believe in His name and have life in His name.

Send us a textWhat if we have been talking about love...but not actually living it?In this Advent message, Pastor Nicole closes our "Like a Child" series by returning to 1 Corinthians 13 and to the heart of the gospel: a love that is patient, kind, honest, present, and willing to meet people right where they are.This episode wrestles with questions we don't always say out loud:Why do we put conditions on love?Why is it easier to talk about love than practice it?What does Jesus-shaped love really look like in real life?And what would happen if we received God's love "just as we are"--first?Along the way, Nicole shares stories of grace, honesty, and the surprising ways God keeps showing us who He is--including a powerful moment from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood that reminds us what it means to truly see someone.Episodes in the "Like a Child" series:Hope like a ChildPeace like a ChildJoy like a ChildLove like a ChildLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

We love Christmas! It's our (and especially Mark's) favorite time of year. Besides the decorations, presents, cheer, and time with family, Christmas marks a very special event. It's when God sent His son to earth, which was the greatest expression of His love for us.In our own personal story of redeeming our marriage together, one of the biggest lessons we learned was what love really looks like. It's not that we were unloving in the 1.0 version of us; it's just that we didn't understand how to love each other and receive love well.All of us can benefit from maturing our understanding of love. Instead of falling into the trap of giving and receiving love that's transactional, we need to practice the kind of love that Jesus showed us.In this episode, you'll hear:The characteristics of real loveHow Jesus displayed love for usWays we can express sacrificial love for one anotherAnd more!We hope this conversation helps you understand the true love that Jesus exemplified when He laid down His life for us!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/love-like-jesus-277Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

In Love Like Jesus, Part 3, Pastor Robey Barnes explores Jesus' powerful teaching on loving our neighbor through the parable of the Good Samaritan. Building from real-life stories of crisis, rescue, and compassion, this message challenges us to move beyond simple concern and step into courageous, costly action. Pastor Robey shows how Jesus calls every believer to reflect His mercy, love sacrificially, and engage the needs around them—whether in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or through global mission partners like HHA and Mustard Seed in Jamaica. This sermon invites you to pray boldly, serve intentionally, and embody the transformational love of Jesus in everyday life.

This month, we'll be going through a teaching series titled, “Love Like Jesus.” In conjunction with Church United, we'll unite with churches across South Florida to study through the same series. Let's get ready to learn about how we can authentically reflect Jesus to our community!

Pastor Joshua continues a powerful message about how we must choose to be compassionate over being comfortable if we want to love the way Jesus loves.

In this message, Pastor Craig Stephens teaches from Isaiah 58 on how real worship is more than songs and Sunday routines. It's worship that moves outward toward others. When we love God vertically, it should overflow into compassion for people horizontally. This is the kind of faith that changes cities. Historically, Christians led in starting hospitals, caring for the poor, and showing up where needs were visible — and we're called to continue that same kind of love today. Join us as we talk about what it means to serve our neighbors, care for the vulnerable, and practice a faith that blesses others and invites the blessing of God into our own lives.

In this episode, Abby Kuykendall joins us to talk about hospitality as a spiritual discipline for all Christians — not just a God-given spiritual gift for a select few. We learn how to live purposefully and be more like Jesus when it comes to loving others in the area of Biblical hospitality. We dig into what real, Christ-centered hospitality looks like, how to overcome perfectionism and comparison when opening your home, and three simple qualities you can start practicing today to create a welcoming space for genuine connection. If you've ever wanted to be more hospitable but felt held back by doubt or pressure to make everything “just right,” this conversation is for you.

Jesus loved us most fully by dying for us. Therefore, if we are to love like Jesus, we must die for others. A retreat talk by Fr. Jeremiah Myriam Shryock, CFR.

Children naturally imitate those they love and trust. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember how they learn by watching, copying, and repeating what they see. In the same way, God calls His children to imitate Him—to reflect His love, compassion, and holiness in our daily lives. Emily Rose Massey reminds us that just as parents model godly character for their children, we are called to model our lives after Christ. Jesus’ life was the ultimate picture of selfless love—He “gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Imitating Him means walking in humility, extending grace to others, and choosing love even when it costs us something. Imitating Christ also means learning from the examples of faithful believers who have gone before us—like Paul, who urged the early Church to follow his example as he followed Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). Paul’s life was marked by joy in suffering and unwavering trust in God. He modeled what it looks like to prioritize God’s glory over comfort and ease. As we spend time in God’s Word, abide in His presence, and walk alongside other believers, we are shaped into His likeness little by little. This lifelong process of imitation transforms us from the inside out, teaching us to love sacrificially and live for the glory of God rather than for ourselves. Today's Bible Reading: "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." – Ephesians 5:1-2, ESV Key Takeaways We are called to imitate God by walking in love, just as Christ loved and sacrificed for us. True imitation begins with abiding in Christ and being transformed by His Spirit. Surround yourself with mentors and believers who model Christlike living. Every act of selfless love becomes a fragrant offering of worship to God. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, thank You for saving me and calling me to walk in Your love. Help me to imitate Christ in every area of my life—my words, actions, and thoughts. Strengthen me to live with humility, grace, and boldness for Your glory. Surround me with believers who encourage me to walk faithfully and remind me to fix my eyes on Jesus, the perfect example of love and obedience. In His name I pray, Amen.
