New Beginnings: Love God, Love Others | Mark 12:28-34 | 091326 by Corey

“How would love respond?” We don't have to ask this when loving another is easy, but it's one way we can pause and invite the Holy Spirit to lead us when loving others requires effort and doesn't come so naturally. My friend, Rachael Adams is back with us reminding us to pause and ask this question and to think of how we can reflect God rather than mirror the negative energy we receive from others. I love this question and this conversation and I hope you are encouraged for your relationships today. I pray others smell the fragrance of heaven's love through each of us today. Rachael Adams is the host of The Love Offering Podcast, and the author of A Little Goes a Long Way: 52 Days to a Significant Life.

Paul is a masterful teacher skilled in the use of metaphors for memorable messages in a murky world. Paul draws upon powerful imagery from Scripture he knows to be both very present to the eyes of God's people in Ephesus and strikingly familiar to their minds. Paul challenges the hearers of his letter to see deeply God's grace and appreciate a repositioning in battle against the enemy.Village Green Community Church is located in London, Canada.

In Episode 210, we explore Luke 10:25-28 and the deceptively simple exchange between Jesus and an expert in religious law. The expert stands up to test Jesus with a question: "Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus—instead of answering directly—turns it back on him: "What does the law say? How do you read it?" The man answers perfectly. Love God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. "Right," Jesus says. "Do this and you will live." Through guided meditation, discover what makes this exchange so revealing. The expert already knew the answer. He didn't come to learn—he came to test. And yet the answer he gives is exactly right. Love God with everything you have. Love your neighbor as yourself. The answer was never the problem. The doing is the problem. This episode explores the profound gap between knowing and doing that exists in every one of us. We know the answer too. Love God. Love others. It's on coffee mugs and church signs and bumper stickers. It's the catchphrase of the Christian life. And yet—if we're honest—it's the hardest thing Jesus ever asked us to do. Loving God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind means there's no part of you held back. No compartment He can't access. No area of your life where He isn't Lord. Not your finances. Not your relationships. Not your ambitions. Not your fears. Not your private thoughts. All of you. Every part. Completely surrendered. And loving your neighbor as yourself means extending to others the same patience, grace, and generosity you extend to yourself. The same benefit of the doubt. The same second chances. The same compassion when they fail. The same willingness to see the best in them. This is not a feeling—it's a choice. It's not a natural response—it's a supernatural one that requires the love of God flowing through you. Learn why the gap between knowing and doing is the central challenge of the Christian life, and why Jesus doesn't just give us the answer—He calls us to live it. Discover what it looks like to love God with every part of you and to love the specific, difficult, undeserving neighbor in your life today. Find practical steps for identifying one person you struggle to love and one specific act of love you can offer them—not because it comes naturally, but because Jesus lives in you and His love is greater than your feelings. Experience the transformation that comes from closing the gap between what you know and what you do, one act of love at a time.

Paul, chosen by the will of God to be sent out to teach and represent Christ, writes a letter to God's holy people in the city of Ephesus. Paul knows these people well. A dark history and world culture permeates their lives. But God has revealed His plan to Paul, and Paul is eager to reach and teach God's holy people. Paul's imprisonment leads to the necessity of a letter and Paul's letter pours forth praise, prayer and a pervading message for the church.Village Green Community Church is located in London, Canada.

One of the core aspects of thriving is living out love. But this isn't easy – it takes commitment and intention. So today we have a practice to help you lean into reciprocating love. Inspired by the With & For interview with award-winning film director Nicholas Ma, this practice takes loving kindness into the real world.  With & For is a podcast of the Thrive Center, an applied research center that exists to catalyze a movement of human thriving, with and for others through spiritual health.

The sermon explores the mechanics of extending agape love by utilizing three essential tools found in 1 John. It argues that believers must remain connected within the body of Christ to experience and demonstrate this self-sacrificing love, warning that isolation leads to spiritual doubt and emotional harm. The message distinguishes between salvation by faith and discipleship through obedience, emphasizing that true confidence before the judgment seat of Christ comes from loving others regardless of their worthiness. It challenges the performance-based mindset inherited from the world system, urging Christians to rely on faith rather than personal merit to overcome relational barriers. Ultimately, the text asserts that God has designed community as the primary vehicle for dispensing grace and strength to His people.

What happens when God's love truly changes your heart? In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan to reveal that loving God is never meant to stop with us. The love we've received from Christ should overflow into practical compassion that crosses barriers, serves others, and points people back to Him.• Jesus challenges us to move beyond asking who deserves our love and become people who love generously.• The Good Samaritan models a compassion that crosses barriers, bears the cost, and meets real needs.• The love of Christ transforms us from the inside out and leads us to practical acts of mercy toward others.Key Scriptures:Luke 10:25-37Deuteronomy 6:5Leviticus 19:18Take time this week to ask God to show you someone in your path who needs His love.

In this message from Galatians 5:1-4, guest speaker Pastor John Cowan teaches on the freedom believers have in Jesus Christ and the danger of slipping back into legalism. He walks through Paul's warning to the Galatian church, showing that trying to earn righteousness through rule keeping empties the cross of its meaning, while trusting in Christ alone brings real rest. True faith is not about spiritual performance but about leaning fully on Jesus, who exchanges our sin for his own perfect righteousness. That same freedom is meant to be lived out through love, serving others rather than indulging the flesh, so that grace and neighbor love become the natural fruit of a life no longer bound to the law.

The Ten Commandments – Week 2 A Life of Freedom & FlourishingWhat if the Ten Commandments were never meant to be a list of rules—but a vision for human flourishing?In Part 2 of our series, The Ten Words, we explore Commandments 5–10 and discover that loving our neighbour is far more radical than simply "being nice." These commandments reveal God's heart for relationships, community, truth, faithfulness, generosity, and contentment.Together we'll discover:Why honouring our parents is about giving weight to those who gave us life.How Jesus exposes the deeper heart behind "Do not murder."Why faithfulness reflects the very character of God.What stealing, lying, and coveting reveal about our trust in God.How every person bears the image of God—and why that changes everything.Most importantly, we'll see how Jesus fulfils the law—not by replacing it, but by transforming our hearts through the Holy Spirit so that love becomes our way of life.If this message encourages you, please Like, Subscribe, and Share to help others discover the freedom and flourishing found in following Jesus.Join us each week as we explore Scripture with thoughtful teaching, practical application, and a vision of God's inclusive love for all people.For sermon notes please visit "Sermon notes" section on the MIC website: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-10-Commandments-Week-2-A-Life-of-Freedom-and-Flourishing-Notes.pdfTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

This is message 9 in Understanding the Love of God 1 Corinthians 13 True manhood is not measured by strength, courage, achievements, or cultural rites of passage, but by the ability to love others with the selfless love of Christ. While the world celebrates outward accomplishments, God looks at the heart and calls men to maturity through sacrificial love, humility, patience, and service. Real growth begins when life stops revolving around self and becomes focused on caring for others. The greatest evidence of spiritual maturity is not what a man can endure for himself, but how faithfully he reflects the love of God in his relationships every day.

Ephesians 4:15 calls Christians to speak the truth in love, balancing grace and honesty in a way that reflects the heart of Christ. In this devotional, Michelle Lazurek explores the challenging but necessary role of biblical accountability within Christian relationships. While our culture often discourages correction and equates love with acceptance alone, Scripture teaches that genuine love sometimes requires difficult conversations that encourage repentance, growth, and spiritual maturity. Highlights Ephesians 4:15 teaches believers to speak truth with love and grace. Biblical accountability helps Christians grow in spiritual maturity. Difficult conversations can reveal deeper heart issues that need healing. Jesus modeled both compassion and truth throughout His ministry. Loving correction is meant to restore, not condemn. The Holy Spirit often uses trusted believers to bring conviction and growth. Avoiding hard conversations can hinder spiritual development. Healthy Christian relationships require both honesty and humility. Join the Conversation Have you experienced a time when God reminded you that He saw your pain, needs, or circumstances?

Full Transcript Below: Love Others, Speak TruthBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” - Ephesians 4:15 Who are you to judge me? This question came from a loved one who felt convicted about an action she had taken. When this person posted social media pictures that depicted her in a less-than-flattering light, I boldly spoke truth into her life. I let her know that the way she portrayed herself on social media was the way people would categorize her, even if she didn't always behave that way. Additionally, as someone who claimed to be a Christian, she needed to be an example in every situation, including social situations where pictures could be taken. In response to the above question, she became defensive and began arguing. However, as we began to argue, I noticed her thinking began to change. At one point, she started crying. When I asked her what was making her cry, she told me what was really going on in her life. Social media posts are merely a symptom of a much deeper problem. Once she humbled herself, we prayed together. We were also able to brainstorm solutions to her problems. I gave her some concrete advice, then told her I would check in with her later. I didn't want to have to confront her about what I saw on social media. In fact, it would have been much easier for me to sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't exist. But staying silent, rather than boldly challenging her to change her behavior, would have done her an injustice. While many people think of Jesus as a gentle, kind man who hugged everyone and gave them what they wanted, nothing could be further from the truth. He spoke harsh words to many people, most of whom were Pharisees, a religious group. For many years, I questioned why Jesus would say such harsh things, such as calling them a brood of vipers. I realized that Jesus, who was closely associated with the Holy Spirit, had to make an exception. Jesus did what was right for everyone and never put himself, or any desire for the approval of man, ahead of what he was called to do. Jesus used harsh words with the Pharisees, hoping that their hardened hearts would soften and they would turn back to God. Confession and repentance are key to changing our behavior. However, we can't always see the flaws in our character. We need other people, who know us better than we know ourselves, to speak hard truths into our lives. These hard truths, when we reflect and analyze them, come from a place of love. Even if a person doesn't want to hear what's being said, it doesn't mean it doesn't need to be said. It merely means that the person is feeling conviction of the Holy Spirit. In the verse above, Paul understood that speaking the truth in love to one another would help the body of Christ grow into mature believers. Sweeping things under the rug and avoiding hurt feelings led to immaturity and a failure to thrive spiritually. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are called to speak hard truths in love to each other. Even in this culture where people don't want to be judged, that judgment, when properly placed, can lead someone to the cross. When someone is led to the cross and their heart is genuine, the Holy Spirit can convict them, and they can turn their lives back to him. Although it may seem better, and even easier, to be silent in the name of being kind, kindness isn’t always what people need. When people are blind to their own destructive behaviors, those who love them enough to speak hard truths into their lives will aid them in repentance and devotion to the Savior. Father, let us be people who speak the truth and love one another. Help us to do so with boldness and conviction. Let us not bind ourselves to the world’s ways so that we do not judge. Rather, we need to lovingly speak the truth to others in the hope that they will turn their lives back to you. Amen.

Romans 12:9-13

In the film Where the Wild Things Are, a boy in a wolf suit discovers what most of us already know but rarely say out loud: loving others is hard. The wild things wanted a king who could keep them together and shield them from sadness — but no king, no matter how great, can do that. And neither can we. In this beautifully crafted episode, Sophia Bricker weaves together film, literature, Scripture, and raw honesty to name something we all experience but often feel guilty admitting — that love, in all its forms, is messy, costly, and sometimes feels beyond us. C.S. Lewis wrote that to love at all is to be vulnerable — that a heart given to anyone will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. Yet Jesus, who knew this better than anyone, chose to love anyway. He gave up divine privilege, took on human flesh, and died a criminal's death — not because it was easy, but because love requires sacrifice. Paul's instruction to the Philippians was simple and staggering all at once: have the same mindset as Christ in your relationships. That kind of love — wildly generous, sacrificial, seeking the good of others above our own — is not natural to us. But it is possible. Not through sheer willpower, but through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in us, mirroring back the love we have already received from the nail-scarred hands of God. Today's Bible Verse "Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross." — Philippians 2:6-8, NLT Ponder Today Loving others is hard — and admitting that is not a failure of faith. Every family, friendship, and community experiences conflict, hurt, and misunderstanding. Acknowledging the difficulty of love is the first honest step toward growing in it. To love is to be vulnerable. As C.S. Lewis reminds us, a heart kept safely away from others is a heart that never truly loves. The risk of being hurt is not a reason to withhold love — it is the very nature of it. Jesus is the ultimate model of sacrificial love. He did not cling to comfort or divine privilege. He entered our mess, bore our sin, and loved us at great personal cost. That is the standard — and the Spirit in us makes it possible. We are not more deserving of love than those we struggle to love. As Sophia asks so pointedly — are we not equally guilty of breaking a heart or speaking a careless word? Remembering our own need for grace softens us toward others who need it too. A Prayer for You Today Savior, I am amazed by Your choice to enter this broken world, taking the curse of sin upon Yourself to save all people. Who am I that I should receive such love? Yet I confess that I struggle to love those around me — people with pasts and flaws not so different from my own. Work in me to produce the fruit of sacrificial, wildly generous love that seeks nothing other than to reflect what You have given me. Produce in me by Your Spirit a new way of life marked by grace and mercy — and the courage to love, even when it's hard. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

Love God, Love Others (Hebrews 8:6-13)

It's easy to love people in theory. It's a lot harder in practice. In Part Two of our new series, we're looking at the three toughest arenas for love: Ourselves. (Do you actually treat yourself with kindness?) Our Enemies. (What does love look like when there's no common ground?) Our Families. (Do the people under your roof get your best grace, or just your leftovers?) This week's episode is a gut-check on how we show up in the world.  #NewEpisode #GrowthMindset #PodcastLife #GraceAndLove #Relationships

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! Who Are You in Christ? | Ephesians 1:1–2 Sermon on Christian Identity Who are you, really? In a world that tells you to build your identity through success, performance, status, and approval, Ephesians points us in a completely different direction. In Ephesians 1:1–2, Paul reminds believers that identity precedes activity. Before he tells us how to live, he reminds us who we are in Christ. In this message, we look at three powerful words from Paul's opening: apostle, saints, and faithful in Christ. This sermon will help you see: You are called, not self-made You are set apart, not common You are faithful in Christ, not sustained by self-effort If you have ever struggled with failure, shame, purpose, or trying to prove yourself, this message is for you. Your identity is not built on what you do for God, but on what God has done for you in Christ. Big Idea: Who you are in Christ defines how you live, not the other way around. Scripture: Ephesians 1:1–2 If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded who they are in Christ. Where we seek to Love God, Love Others, and Live on Mission.

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! Title: Does the Jewish Bible Point to Jesus? Description: This message explores the powerful mission and message behind “Jews for Jesus,” highlighting God's ongoing love and redemptive plan for the Jewish people. Rooted in Scripture, it reveals how Jesus is the promised Messiah and how the Gospel first came to the Jews—and continues to reach all people today. Through themes of faith and redemption, this message dives into what it means to trust God in every season—embracing faith in the midst of doubt, faith in the midst of suffering, and ultimately a faith that triumphs. It also unpacks the prophetic picture of Christ as the Servant, focusing on the appearance of the Servant, the agony of the Servant, and the accomplishment of the Servant through His sacrifice.

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! Title: Why we celebrate Easter Easter changes everything. In John 11, Jesus stands in front of a tomb and calls Lazarus from death to life. That miracle points to the greater truth of Easter: Jesus did not come just to make life better. He came to make dead people alive. If you've ever felt disappointed, stuck, empty, ashamed, or like God did not show up the way you expected, this message is for you. Jesus is not just powerful. He is the resurrection and the life. Because He died and rose again, there is hope, freedom, and new life today. Jesus makes dead things alive.

Proverbs 26:2 weaves into the discussion, highlighting that curses have causes—reasons that believers can tackle rather than accept as fate. [10:17] Marjorie: “There's a designer and there is a predictable pattern… So when you see that, you know there's an intelligent, something, entity, behind these calamities, behind these troubles.” [10:55] Fear, Witchcraft, and the Enemy's foothold Marjorie connects fear and witchcraft as drivers of ancestral agreements, often made subconsciously for blessings, giving Satan legal ground Reagan shared an example through infertility which illustrates how agreeing with lies—like “something's wrong with me”—keeps these curses alive through generations. Ancient potions laced with demonic spells evolve into modern traps like psychics and pharmaceuticals, each offering false solutions with hidden costs. [15:52] Marjorie: “God votes for us all the time, and Satan votes against us all the time, and we decide who we're going to believe and who we're going to go with.” [26:50] Tracing Patterns to Break the Chains Marjorie links physical issues like endometriosis to ancestral bloodshed, urging forgiveness of past generations to break curses She shares a story of a man crippled by a false diagnosis of early death, showing how agreements shape life outcomes. Rejecting labels like “bipolar” shifts the battle from medication to spiritual authority, exposing them as demonic footholds rather than destiny. Depression surfaces as a spirit of exhaustion, born from unresolved conflicts, conquerable not with pills but with the liberating truth of God's Word. [35:16] Marjorie: “The devil makes it look like God's mad at you, because you think I've got to be good to get to heaven.” [39:35] Standing Before Heaven's Court Marjorie offers a prayer process: forgive ancestors, stand as a bloodline representative, and ask God to judge demonic crimes. She specifies removing judgments like back pain or divorce, citing a case of a man's back injury tied to childhood abuse. Reagan recounts a car crash she survived, declaring defiance against the enemy's attack on her podcast mission. Marjorie suggests such events echo ancestral patterns, encouraging listeners to seek the original lie with Jesus' help. [50:24] Confronting Territorial Spirits Territorial spirits rise from biblical shadows, like the Prince of Persia, ruling over lands and lives with ancient authority. Binding them with names from birth certificates cuts their power, a practical step to reclaim dominion over personal kingdoms. [1:02:05] Unraveling Family Mysteries Reagan shares a listener's story of siblings hearing voices, with Marjorie tracing it to the mother's side and sexual assault roots. She explains schizophrenia as demonic voices from identity confusion, treatable by commanding them out, not medicating. Marjorie stresses personal agreement is ideal for healing, likening it to driving one's own life bus, not letting demons steer. Patterns like firstborn attacks urge a direct confrontation, exposing the enemy's tactics through interrogation and faith   [1:17:44] Healing Kids and Building Community Marjorie advises asking Jesus to reveal kids' lies (e.g., fear from in utero trauma), clearing them as their representative. She shares a hyperactive child's healing from incubator trauma, proving the method's efficacy when specific. Enjoyed this Episode? If you did, subscribe and share it with your friends!

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! I Believe in the Resurrection Description: Most people treat the resurrection like an Easter tradition. Paul calls it “of first importance.” In this message from 1 Corinthians 15:3–8, we walk through the claim that changed everything about everything: Jesus didn't just die—He was buried, and on the third day He rose again. And Paul doesn't present it as a private spiritual experience. He names witnesses, points to Scripture, and lays down a challenge: if the resurrection is real, it changes what you believe, what you value, and how you live. We also address common objections and “alternate theories” people use to avoid the resurrection, and we'll look at why the early church was willing to stake everything on this event. If you've ever wondered whether the resurrection is historically credible—or if you've believed it but don't live like it matters—don't miss this message. The final takeaway will force one question: If Jesus rose, what does that mean for you today? If this message speaks to you, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe.
