Greg Morse | Timid yet stubborn, weak yet wandering, sheep are not impressive creatures. And neither are we. Yet Christ is not ashamed to be our shepherd.
In this episode of the Crazy Love Podcast, Francis Chan opens his heart about what it truly means to live from God's love rather than striving to earn it. So many of us believe God loved us when we were His enemies, yet live as though His affection now depends on our performance as His children. Francis reminds us that God's love is constant, unshakable, and infinitely beyond anything we can imagine. This message echoes the heartbeat of Francis' brand-new book, Beloved, releasing October 7th. Written with his daughter Mercy, the book invites readers to move beyond head knowledge of God's love into a daily, lived experience of His presence and delight. You can pre-order Beloved today and pick up your copy wherever books are sold.

We are so grateful for local church pastors and all clergy for the way they serve and lead in their respective communities. This week, Pastor William Mack shares some words of encouragement for everyone serving in these capacities. rootedpastors.org
Don't let social media “preachers” disciple you into poverty. God wants His people living in abundance—financially, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.Dr. Gabe challenges us to rethink what abundance truly means—not just in terms of money, but as an all-encompassing spiritual provision. He explores how often, as believers, we fall into the trap of a scarcity mindset, shaped by fear, comparison, and a lack of generosity—sometimes even unintentionally fostered by the teachings we hear.Dr. Gabe unpacks how God wants us to embrace a life of abundant forgiveness, overflowing grace, and spiritual fulfillment. He also highlights the importance of stewardship, daily dependence on God, and breaking free from selfish patterns that hinder us from living fully in the abundance God intends.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website
Sermon from Pastor Jim Stultz on September 28, 2025
We continue our overview of the Ten Commandments by looking at the two parts: love of God and love of neighbor. Together they form a “coherent whole,” and there is a unity between the two. While the Catechism shows us our obligation to follow the Commandments, it also reminds us that, “What God commands, he makes possible by his grace.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that even though it may be challenging at times, we are not alone. Jesus is here to help us keep his Commandments. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2064-2082. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
We want God to help us understand and experience true love — which is His love — so that we will be complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

There's only so much we can cover in a Sunday morning gathering! Each week, you're invited to tune into our podcast, “Red Couch Theology – Sermon Conversations with Alex and Aaron.” We record our podcast live every Thursday at 11am. What can you expect? Pastors Alex, Aaron, and the occasional guest have a casual conversation, diving deeper into ideas related to last Sunday's teaching.
People play all kinds of games when it comes to love. Our minds can get wrapped up in ego and selfishness that hinder love at its best. God demonstrates His love in ways that are so different from ours. Join Chip as he explores God's love and what could happen if we stop looking for love and start giving it away instead.Introduction - Three facts about loveFact #1: It's a universal need - Everyone is looking for love!Fact #2: There's a universal solution - God loves all people everywhere and longs to meet the deepest needs of every heart for love!Fact #3: There's a tragic disconnection - Even so, most people remain starved for love… for three primary reasons:They don't know God loves them.They know of God's love, but have not received it.They have received God's love, but don't know how to experience it in daily life.Love is giving another person what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost.God reveals His love to us through:CREATION - He made you for Himself.PROVIDENCE - He shows His kindness to all.INCARNATION - He is proactively pursuing you.DISCIPLINES - He chastises us to protect us from self-destructive behavior.INDWELLING - He supernaturally pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.JESUS – The Second Person of the Trinity demonstrated the nature of God's love for us.How must we respond to God's love?We must RECEIVE IT by faith in our hearts. -John 3:16, 1:12We must BELIEVE IT by faith in our minds. -1 John 4:13-16, Romans 8:38-39We must SHARE IT by faith through our choices and decisions. -1 John 3:18Broadcast ResourceThe Real God ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsDaily DiscipleshipBrennan Manning - Abba's ChildConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

You have a possession in heaven that is better, and lasts longer, than anything this world can offer.
Dr. Jordan Stone preached on Romans 8:31–39.
LESSON 264I Am Surrounded By The Love Of God.Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This, and nothing is that does not share Its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.My brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us?- Jesus Christ in ACIM

The Love of God | Pastor David Shearin by Word of Life LV
Main Point: Death Will Break All Bounds but One, the Love of GodText: Romans 7:1-3 Outline: A. The binding of the law B. The release through death C. Eternally bound to the love of God
As most of you know, we have been studying the doctrine of the Love of God over the summer months. Last Sunday, we studied Jesus' exhortation to “abide” His love. This week we are going to study Jude's exhortation in Jude 17-25, “Keep yourselves in the love of God.” You might think it sounds strange, but the reality is that it is a real battle to keep ourselves living in, learning about, and growing in the love of God. In the classic hymn, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, author Robert Robinson describes what so many of us feel in our hearts: “Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.” Jude would tweak that and say, “Prone to leave the God who loves me.” Come this Sunday morning, as we consider how to collectively keep ourselves in the love of God. We need to fight the battle together. We have Teen Challenge with us, and it is going to be a great time of seeing the power of Christ in the lives of His people. Super looking forward to it. There is a lunch after the second service. Next Steps at Waterbrooke ---> Click HERE

Mama, Jesus loves you more than you could ever know and He will never, ever leave you! Join Deb for today's encouraging devotional where, we learn that when we give Jesus our pain, He gives us Himself."What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off." Matthew 18:12-13Want to join us for this study?

Ephesians 1:3-6 teaches that before believers can truly thrive, their souls must be anchored in the unshakable reality of God's love rather than drifting into fear, old wounds, or worldly influences. The passage reveals that God's love is not impulsive or reactive like human emotion but flows from His eternal choice, rooted in His unchanging nature and His unbreakable commitment to His Son, Jesus Christ. Because this love rests on Christ's perfect faithfulness, not human worthiness, it is steadfast, immovable, and secure in both success and failure. This anchoring love stands in contrast to the manipulations of the enemy, who tempts believers to define themselves by what they do, what they have, or how others see them. Instead, Scripture calls Christians to abide in God's love—through awareness of their thoughts, slowing down in prayer and Scripture, and experiencing the echoes of His love through the community of faith. Ultimately, Ephesians 1 shows that God's sovereign, chosen love is the anchor strong enough to hold believers steady through weakness, trial, and temptation, providing them with lasting security, belonging, and blessing.
In this conversation with Quina Aragon we trace God's faithfulness and steadfast love to her through some of the darkest points of her life. As we talk about the love of God, we know you will come away encouraged by how God has promised to hold you fast in his love in your own seasons of darkness and difficulty.

Fr. Mike focuses on the concept of being rich in love instead of rich in wealth today, as we read about the heart of a mother and father in our verse from Proverbs. He also emphasizes the presence of sacrificial love in the vocation of marriage and family through God's decision to keep Jeremiah single, saving him from more suffering. Today's readings are Jeremiah 16-17, Ezekiel 45-46, and Proverbs 15:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
