In this episode of Chai Beauty, I reflect on Session Six of the When You Pray Bible study, which focuses on interceding for others in prayer. While it's easy to pray for friends, intercession often challenges us most when it involves those who are difficult to love or those we've been separated from.I share how scriptures like 1 Peter 5:8–11 and Romans remind us that suffering is universal—and that God calls us to stand firm in faith by lifting others up, even in our own trials. Through personal stories and lessons, I explore the tension between selfishness and obedience, what it means to truly love with patience, and why forgiveness and reconciliation matter in God's eyes.We'll explore:Why interceding can feel harder than personal prayerLearning to pray for those who challenge usThe privilege of caring for others as God cares for usWhy forgiveness is for you, and reconciliation is for usLiving out patient, protective, and unconditional Christian love

Here at MinistryWatch, our mission is to help Christian donors become true stewards. We provide resources to help you become more faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to you. If you've been around MinistryWatch for a while, that means we help you to give wisely and faithfully. But for most Christians, even generous Christians, the amount of money they give away is just a fraction of the amount of money they invest. Christians invest in the stock market, in mutual funds, through their 401-k, and elsewhere. What about those funds? Do they reflect biblical stewardship? Robin John has thought deeply about these questions. He is the co-founder of Eventide, an asset management firm dedicated to honoring God and investing in companies that create compelling value for the common good. He has put some of these ideas in writing in a new book, The Good Investor: How Your Work Can Confront Injustice, Love Your Neighbor, and Bring Healing to the World.

Love Your Neighbor August 31, 2025 The Blessing in Blessing – Pastor Alex Mahaffey
When you've been transformed by God's love, you can't help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom. But how do you share it without scaring them away or offending them? For most Christians, “evangelism” is an intimidating word that suggests handing out tracts to strangers or doing other awkward things. But what if there was a more organic, more authentic way to share your faith with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers? Dave Ferguson shares five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that. And by consistently living them out, you can affect not just individual lives but your entire neighborhood and community—one person at a time.

Pastor Rob started week one of our new series, Love Your Neighbor. He taught from Luke 10:25–37 on the Good Samaritan. He reminded us that while discipleship is important, it must be covered in love, and that Jesus never authorizes excuses when it comes to caring for others.

Love Your Neighbor | City Leaders Panel | Engage My City: Week 05 | August 31, 2025
Speaker: Pastor Michael Delamarian
In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

In Week 2 of our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Scott Worthington shared from Luke 10:25-37—the story of the Good Samaritan. God commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves. From this story, we learned that before we can love our neighbor like the Good Samaritan did, we must first see that Jesus is the true Good Samaritan—and we are the wounded man who was cared for. We also discovered who our neighbor truly is and how we can love them. Check out this sermon to learn more!

Pastor Dave preaches the second half of the Great Commandment from Matthew 22:39-40. True treasure isn't always material—it can be chipped ashtrays or crude crafts kept for love of the maker. Likewise, every person bears God's signature and is valuable because he created them. Love for others is inseparable from love for God, even when people are hard to like. Agape love goes beyond feelings; it's a self-sacrificial choice to lay down self and love as Christ loves us. Scripture commands this love because it reflects God's heart and overflows from a life transformed by grace. Choosing to love, forgive, and bless others—especially when it's hard—brings freedom and deeper communion with God. Who are you being called to love today, not out of convenience, but in joyful obedience to the one who loves perfectly?
In this thought-provoking episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the complexities of understanding and applying Jesus' two greatest commandments, especially focusing on the challenge of loving one's neighbor. Our hosts begin by exploring the often-paraphrased commandments: loving God with all your being and loving your neighbor as yourself, often quoted as the 'Golden Rule.' This conversation illuminates the common misinterpretation of these commandments as being overly simplistic, highlighting the intricacies involved in genuinely understanding and implementing them in our lives.Joe candidly shares his struggle with the application of the second commandment, especially when personal preferences and expectations do not align with those of others. This is a common modern-day challenge, especially apparent within the context of relationships and marriage, where different personal desires can lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings. Father Boniface provides profound insight into this dilemma, reminding us that these commandments are derived from the Old Testament but find their full meaning through Jesus' life and teachings.The discussion takes a more profound turn as Father Boniface introduces the new commandment given by Jesus at the Last Supper: "Love one another as I have loved you." This statement elevates the concept of love to a divine level, setting Jesus' life as the benchmark for how love should be expressed—through selfless, sacrificial acts that are not bound by mere duty or superficial niceties. The dialogue ventures into how this divine love correlates with the Paschal mystery, emphasizing that true love demands sacrifice, echoes the crucifixion, and transcends everyday preferences.The episode transitions into practical spirituality by exploring how to set realistic goals for loving others as Jesus does. Despite the challenges inherent in this path, our hosts encourage listeners to embrace their journey with honesty and openness to transformation. Joe reflects on the staggering potential of adopting Jesus' model of love, imagining its impact on his personal life and relationships. Father Boniface further explains that the Christian journey is not about immediate perfection but a lifelong commitment to growth, guided and sustained by the grace found in the sacraments and the community of the church.As the conversation wraps up, listeners are invited to introspect and evaluate where they stand in the continuum of divine love. Father Boniface gently urges everyone to envision a life perfected in divine love, a journey fueled by grace and sustained by a steadfast desire to love like Christ. Together, they highlight that while this path demands patience and perseverance, it ultimately leads to profound spiritual fulfillment and a deeper understanding of God's boundless love for humanity.Hashtags: #DivineLove, #SpiritualGrowth, #ChristianLiving, #TwoCommandments, #GoldenRule, #JesusTeachings, #LoveYourNeighbor, #ScriptureUnderstanding, #SacrificialLove, #LastSupper, #PaschalMystery, #SpiritualDirection, #Grace, #ChristianFaith, #SelflessLove, #MarriageChallenges, #ChristianRelationships, #DailyLifeProblems, #SpiritualInsight, #DivineCommandments, #OldTestament, #NewTestament, #LoveLikeJesus, #SpiritualTransformation, #FatherBonifaceHicks, #JoeRockey, #FatherAndJoePodcast, #UnderstandingGod, #BuildingFaith, #RelationshipWithGod, #ReligiousTeachings, #FaithConversations, #SpiritualFulfillment, #Sacraments, #ChurchCommunity, #ChristianJourneyThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.
What does it actually mean to love your neighbor—not in theory, but in the chaotic, disconnected world we live in today? In this thought-provoking conversation, Ginny Yurich welcomes sought-after Bible teacher and author Jada Edwards to discuss her new book, A New Way to Love Your Neighbor. Together, they explore how true love is more than politeness or random acts of kindness—it's curiosity, courage, and a willingness to know both others and yourself more deeply. Jada offers practical and soul-shaping insights into loving when it's hard, forgiving when it feels impossible, and letting go of the myth that the people who hurt us should be the ones to heal us. This episode is an invitation to step beyond surface-level connection into something more meaningful and lasting. You'll learn how divine imagination can reshape your empathy, how feedback can transform your relationships, and why knowing yourself is a vital part of loving others well. It's honest, wise, and refreshingly actionable—perfect for anyone who wants to live out their faith through authentic, grace-filled relationships in everyday life.
