Podcasts about love of christ

What happens when the gospel truly takes hold of a person's life? In 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, the apostle Paul shows us that the gospel doesn't simply improve us—it makes us new.Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our deepest motivations are transformed, our identity is completely renewed, and our purpose in the world is redefined. The love of Christ begins to control our lives, freeing us from living for ourselves and calling us to live for the One who died and was raised for us.Through Christ, we are made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. As people who have been reconciled to God, we are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and sent into the world as ambassadors for Christ.This message explores how the gospel reshapes our motivations, gives us a new identity in Christ, and calls us into a mission to proclaim God's reconciling grace to the world.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Series: N/AService: Sunday Morning WorshipType: SermonSpeaker: Scott Sousa

The sermon centers on the profound suffering of Jesus in Matthew 27, emphasizing not only the physical brutality of His crucifixion—scourging, mockery, and a slow, agonizing death—but the deeper spiritual agony of divine abandonment as He bore the wrath of God for humanity's sin. Through vivid descriptions of the scourging, the mocking by soldiers and crowds, and the cosmic darkness at noon, the preacher underscores the absolute depravity of human hearts, even in the face of innocence, while highlighting the sovereign love that compelled Jesus to remain on the cross. The central theological truth is that Jesus' endurance was not due to force or guilt, but to His voluntary, self-giving love—demonstrated in His prayer for forgiveness and His triumph over sin and death. This love, displayed in the cross, outweighs all suffering and injustice in the world, offering hope, redemption, and a reason to worship regardless of life's trials.

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses how the love of Christ has expectations for everyone.  Although Jesus loves everyone, He expects those He loves to submit to His Word and be His followers.  May Christians understand the love of Christ and love as Christ loves.  Send a textSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

In this message from Ephesians 3:14-21, Pastor Jim walks through Paul's breathtaking prayer that drives him to his knees. After unfolding the cosmic scope of God's plan to unite all things in Christ and form one new people, Jim shows that the only way forward is through the Spirit's power at work in our inner being. This passage centers on God's love, our ongoing grasp of that love, and the glorious goal of being filled with the fullness of God. Jim unpacks what it means for Christ to dwell in our hearts, not as a fleeting feeling but as the deep center of our identity, shaping our affections, obedience, and communal life together. The love of Christ is wider, longer, higher, and deeper than we can comprehend, yet we are invited to press on and seize it daily. As we are strengthened by the Spirit and rooted in love, we become a living display of God's glory in the church, a foretaste of the day when all things are united in Jesus.

This message invites us into a profound exploration of God's irresistible love—a love that never changes despite our wandering. Drawing from the parable of the prodigal son, we discover a revolutionary truth: when we sin and fall away, God's disposition toward us doesn't shift from love to anger. Rather, it's our own perception that changes. We create an alternate reality where we imagine God as an angry judge waiting to condemn us, when in reality He's the loving Father running toward us with open arms. The sermon challenges us to examine 1 Corinthians 13's definition of love not as mere poetry, but as a mirror for our own lives. By inserting our names into these verses—'Does [my name] suffer long? Is [my name] kind?'—we begin the transformative work of becoming love incarnate. The call is clear: we must move beyond intellectual understanding to experiential knowledge of God's love. When we truly encounter the Holy Spirit's tangible presence, no one can reason us out of our faith because we've tasted something real. This message reminds us that tenderness, meekness, and patience aren't weaknesses but require tremendous strength and self-mastery. As we cultivate these virtues, we become drink offerings poured out for others, just as Paul described his own life—finally living out the love we profess.

A Study of Colossians 1: 21-22

This powerful message takes us on a journey through Psalm 22, exploring one of humanity's most profound questions: how do we respond when He feels absent? We begin with David's desperate cry—the same words Jesus would later echo from the cross—'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' Yet this psalm doesn't end in despair. It transforms into a declaration that all nations will worship the Lord. What changes between abandonment and worship? The answer is beautifully simple yet profound: the nearness of God leads to worship. Throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, we see God's relentless pursuit to dwell among His people. The tabernacle wasn't built so God could receive worship, but 'so that I may dwell among them.' The incarnation of Jesus—Emmanuel, God with us—represents the ultimate expression of this divine desire for closeness. When we feel forsaken, we must remember that God's entire story is about drawing near to us. His presence communicates His love more powerfully than words ever could. Just as we want to be with those we love during difficult times, God wants to be with us. This isn't just theological truth; it's lived reality through community. We're called to embody God's nearness to each other, showing up not just for the big moments but for the ordinary, everyday experiences that truly build connection and reveal divine love in action.

The Love of Christ that Changed Jose by Lei by 826 Valencia

What drives your life? Whether money, or our children, or the approval of others, we all have something that drives us, even controls us. In this week's message from 2 Corinthians 5, Pastor Bryan helps us see how allowing the love of Christ to control us changes everything. Living out the identity that Jesus gives us as believers means a new outlook on everything—ourselves, others, and even life and death itself.
