This week we journey on into 1 John 3, remembering our foundational concept for this series: walking with Jesus means letting Him lead. Its a reminder to us that the goal is to be led by Him into what He has called us to do. As we walk with Him, John points out in this chapter that part of the way we need to be led is in how we love each other in this family of the Body of Christ. God wants us to be a part of His family, a loving family. The apostle John reminds us that we are called to support each other when the needs present themselves. Just as Christ laid down His life for us, we too are supposed to sacrifice and serve one another in actions and truth. Because love unknown is love unshown. Ultimately, the Apostle John reminds us in this chapter that love is a verb. - Key Verses // 3 John 1:4, 1 John 3 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

1 Peter 4:8 reminds believers that Christ-centered love has the power to strengthen relationships and extend grace in the face of human weakness. In this devotional, Megan J. Conner explores how selfishness and sin often create conflict in marriages, families, friendships, and church communities. From the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis to the challenges Christians face today, Scripture reveals that broken relationships are a result of sin, but God's love provides the pathway to forgiveness, healing, and restoration. Highlights Sin and selfishness often create conflict in relationships. Adam and Eve's story reveals how disobedience impacts both human and divine relationships. God's love provides redemption where sin creates division. Jesus' sacrifice is the ultimate example of love covering a multitude of sins. Forgiveness reflects the grace God has extended to us. Christians are called to pursue peace whenever possible. Humility and mercy can help restore strained relationships. Loving others deeply requires relying on God's strength and example.

Conner Bible Reading:Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. - 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) Relationships of all kinds can be a challenge. The Bible says God created us for community, for family, for friendships, yet often the dynamics involved in these connections can be incredibly complicated. If relationships are the design of the Lord for our lives, why do they seem so incredibly difficult to navigate? The answer… one single word… sin. At the root of all sin is selfishness. It is the desire and longing for “what I want” above all else, and often, those decisions can be harmful to those around us. They can also be harmful to our relationship with our Heavenly Father. All the way back in the Garden of Eden, we see the first choice of sin – of selfishness. “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it,” (Genesis 3:6, NIV). Though God clearly said Adam and Eve were not to eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden, they felt otherwise. The couple desired to take what the Lord advised them to abstain from; they intentionally chose their own way. They chose themselves. But their choices didn’t just affect them individually; they affected their relationship with one another. As soon as their decision was revealed, the first marital argument ensued, including everyone’s favorite, “the blame game.” Their unity was negatively impacted as a result of their choices. Additionally, their relationship with the Lord was also altered by their pursuit of self. Those consequences were much more significant than a marital tiff, as they were cast out of the garden, could no longer reside within the physical presence of God, would later experience mortal death, and the legacy of sin they initiated would pass on from generation to generation. Sin and selfishness caused some major long-term ripples in this scenario, but thankfully, that is not the end of their story or ours. Love covered a multitude of sins. The Heavenly Father made provision for Adam and Eve in the form of a sacrifice to cover their sin and then gave the ultimate sacrifice of His One and Only Son to forever redeem us all from the penalty of transgression. It is because of this great love that was offered to us first, while we were yet sinners (Rom. 5:8), that we are called to love one another through the failings, disagreements, and hurt feelings. It can feel so incredibly unfair when we are called to forgive the wrongdoings of others, but how different it looks when we are the offender in need of pardon. While every situation is different and there are circumstances where forgiveness needs to be applied, but not necessarily reconciliation at that moment, God’s call to us is clear. “If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone,” (Rom. 12:18, NIV). Though our emotions can get stirred up when “iron sharpens iron” in our relationships, and there are disagreements and deep hurts, the Lord has called us to love one another. It is amazing how quickly a heated situation is diffused when love and humility are applied. May we follow in Jesus’ footsteps and extend mercy and grace to those who have wronged us - for love covers a multitude of sin. Intersecting Faith & Life: Are you struggling with disagreements or discord within your relationships? Is there a particular person or scenario that is particularly painful? Perhaps you are the offender in the situation and long for forgiveness from those you have harmed. Regardless of where you find yourself, may I encourage you, maybe even challenge you, to take a moment and reflect on how God’s unending grace and mercy have been applied to your life. Ask yourself, how has He covered a multitude of your sins? If you are willing, jot down a list of the moments when it was evident the Lord extended forgiveness to you. In light of His great love, ask the Lord to soften your heart towards those who have harmed you. I pray you follow in His footsteps and learn how to lead with love.

John reminds us that God is love, and because He has loved us, we also ought to love one another. This is not a love based on feelings or emotions, but a self-sacrificing, servant-hearted love that we see most clearly in the person and work of Jesus. In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Jesus showed us what perfect love looks like. He loved people nobody expected Him to love, loved people up close and personal, loved people others had written off, loved people who thought they were too sinful to be loved, and loved people who failed Him. Perfect love moves toward people, makes contact, pursues restoration, and refuses to give up on those who need grace. Because Christ first loved us, we now have the opportunity to love others the same way. The way we love one another is the most honest picture of how we love God. Perfect love is not something we earn; it is something we receive from Jesus and then extend to others.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/puyC2NsIeqkSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_

Join us in this episode as we begin a new series with a discussion on how we can love one another like Jesus showed us.
This week, we looked at Jesus' command to “love one another” in John 13 and what it means to live as people marked by the love of Christ. Jesus made it clear that love is the defining evidence that we belong to Him, and followers of Jesus are called to reflect something different from the world around them.Through this message, we were reminded that biblical love is more than kindness or good intentions. It is a daily choice to reflect the grace, humility, and sacrificial love of Jesus in the way we treat others.
This week on Trailer Parked Theology, Josh and Kristi share a takeaway from a recent marriage retreat that challenged one of the most common images used to explain Christian marriage: the triangle. They explore how sacramental marriage is about far more than two individuals independently pursuing God.Together they unpack a richer vision of marriage as a living icon of Christ's love for the Church, where spouses become instruments of God's grace for one another and for the world.The conversation then shifts into 1 John 2:7-11, where John speaks of an "old" commandment that is somehow also "new." Josh and Kristi explore how Jesus fulfilled the commandment of love, transforming it from instruction into lived demonstration through His life, death, and resurrection.Episode HighlightsThe popular "marriage triangle" analogySacramental marriage as an icon of Christ and His ChurchHow spouses help lead one another to heavenThe difference between the "old" and "new" commandment in 1 JohnHow Jesus demonstrated perfect love rather than simply teaching itWhy growth often begins when God reveals our blind spotsLearning to receive correction with humility and gracePractical ways to see God's presence in everyday lifeScripture Discussed1 John 2:7-11 Support the show

In this message we consider what is sometimes referred to as John's "Test of Affection." We know true believers if they love God and love one another. This "test" is based on Jesus' answer regarding the greatest commandment (Mk. 12:28-31). The message will attempt to provide a definition of love as well as some ways in which we can love God and love one another.
God has designed us to be relational beings who desire true friendship. But in today's society, people seem to be moving farther and farther apart from personal connections. So how can we bridge the gap? Stay with us to find the answer from God's Word! In this series, One Another, we will discover powerful truths from the New Testament and learn about God's divine plan for cultivating healthy, godly relationships.
In "Love One Another," Pastor Paul Klouse explores the powerful moment in John 13 where Jesus does the unthinkable -- He kneels down to wash dirty feet. In doing so, Jesus not only serves His disciples, but points us to the cross where we are fully cleansed. This message reminds us that no one is too dirty for Jesus, and that those who have been washed are called to become "washers" — serving family, friends, and even enemies with His love. When we know we are in Christ and where we are headed because of Him, we are free to serve others with humility, security, and grace.

What does real love look like? In 1 John 3, we are given two powerful examples: Cain, whose self-love led to death, and Jesus, whose sacrificial love brings life. This message explores what it means to love one another not merely “in word or talk,” but “in deed and truth.” Love is not just a feeling, a rule, or a religious idea. Love is the evidence that God's life is at work in us. In this sermon, we look at: • Why Cain is a warning about self-focused love • How sin curves us inward and deforms us • Why Jesus' death defines true love • What it means to lay down our lives for others • How God reassures us when our hearts condemn us • Why abiding in Christ leads to action Jesus loved us by laying down His life. Now, by His Spirit, we are invited to become people who love with that same sacrificial grace.
Love one another as I have loved youThe prayer Jesus offers to God–every word heard by his disciples–lays out the deep love of full knowing that is given to and asked of us. https://standrewsgreencastle.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/sermon_2026_05_17.mp3Subscribe to Podcast feed This post Love one another as I have loved you is on the Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church website.

This is message 44 in Gospel Record of John John 13:31-35 The cross was not a moment of defeat but the greatest display of the glory of God, revealing His power, justice, holiness, faithfulness, and love through the willing obedience of Christ. What appeared to the world as suffering and shame became the means of redemption and victory, as the Son fulfilled the Father's plan perfectly. Those who follow Him are then called to reflect that same sacrificial love toward one another, showing the world the realty of Christ through lives marked by humility, unity, and genuine care for His people.

What does it really mean to love the people closest to us in the family of faith? In this message, we hear Jesus' simple but weighty command to love one another as he has loved us—and we explore how that kind of love goes beyond affection to become self-giving, God-powered, and unmistakably visible. Drawing from Scripture and lived experience, we're invited to see love as the very glue that builds unity in the church and bears witness to the world. This sermon asks a practical question with eternal weight: who is God calling you to know, serve, forgive, and love more intentionally this week?
[Recorded on 4/23/26] Did you know that there is one trait that God says is central to following Him? It's not the size of our impact or the amount of Bible we memorize. Jesus says that by this one thing, all people will know we follow Him, and Paul says without this we are nothing. What is it? Brotherly love. Check out this message from Nick Swearingen if you want to grow in understanding what it means to love other Christians.
What if the most important part of your faith is also the easiest to overlook? In 1 and 2 John, the apostle John keeps returning to one central theme: love one another. Not as a new idea—but as the foundation of everything. In this message, we explore: • Why love is the defining mark of real faith • What it means to walk in the light • The subtle ways hate shows up in our lives • Why love and hate shape how we see reality • The warning about loving the world • The encouragement God gives believers at every stage This isn't just about behavior. It's about whether we've truly received the love of God—and whether that love is shaping how we live.

This weekend we kick off a brand-new message series, Jesus' Farewell. Join us as Pastor Jon shares a message titled “Love One Another,” exploring Jesus' powerful words in John 13:31–38 and what they mean for how we live and love today.
I pray that we may return to love—loving one another irrespective of who we are or who they are.But how must we love? True love expresses itself in sacrificial and constructive ways. Jesus demonstrated that kind of love in all His actions, even to the very end. He transcended institutionalism and rigid rules in order to bring people together. Yet, in His name, we have too often built institutions that deepen division, which is contrary to what Christ taught and lived.Jesus stood against privilege and challenged doctrines and positions that exclude and discriminate. He sought to draw all people together. He asked, Who is thy neighbor? and taught that everyone we encounter is our neighbor and friend.Jesus reminded us that Jews and Samaritans had no dealings with one another, yet He shared a story that overturned that separation. His lesson was clear: though people may come from different faiths, backgrounds, or walks of life, once they meet, they share a common humanity and ought to help one another.And when Jesus asked Peter—indeed, when He asks all leaders—Do you love me? His answer was this: Then feed my sheep. Give them life. Give them what nourishes life. Give them what builds, restores, and uplifts.That is love. And perhaps that is where we must begin again.By Rev. Renaldo C.
