Podcasts about Perfect Love

Matthew 5:43-48 - In his 6th and final case study, Jesus takes us to where it all has led: the call to love--as God our Father loves--even our enemies. This was an earth-shattering teaching 2000 years ago and is no less difficult to live out today. But gazing at Jesus who has first loved us even when we were His enemies, we are motivated to love others like this and so bear God's family resemblance. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 10 of our series “Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace”] Questions for reflection: 1) What was so unique about this teaching at the time Jesus gave it? What is still unique about it? 2) "And hate your neighbor" is not a quotation from the Old Testament--what was Jesus doing with this? 3) What does it mean to love with this (agape, in Greek) love? 4) How does God embody and originate this type of love? 5) How does Jesus want to lead us into "perfection" or "completion"? When will this happen? 6) Who are some "enemies" that you struggle to love? How might you grow in this?

God's Love and Ours 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in loveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-love-trust--3493635/support.

Who is the greatest lover? You? Your bride? Someone else? Maybe it is God. And if so, we should pay great attention.

Perfect love is not flawless love — it is mature love, and mature love casts out fear. When we try to love from insecurity, survival instinct, or a need to be completed by someone else, fear filters what we give and receive. But as we allow God's love for us—revealed fully in Christ—to mature in us, we become whole in Him and are finally free to love others without fear.

The Discipline of the Lord (Hebrews 12:5-11) For Believers, discipline is NOT PUNITIVE but redemptive (corrective, protective) Motive: God's Love: Hebrews 12:6; 1 John 2:2 The discipline of the Lord (correction) can “feel like” punishment. (Hebrews 12:11) (Remember and Trust God's motives. This will be tested! Hebrews 12:5b: rebuke: address inappropriate actions, words, attitudes. Blessings of God's Correction: Hebrews 12:7-11 Love, honor, treasures His child Preserved life (Hebrews 12:9) Partakers of benefits of holiness (1 Timothy 4:8; 1 Timothy 6:6) Holiness: set apart to the Lord and separated from the evil one; the flesh, the world's values, and ways of thinking, speaking, choosing The Holy Spirit is the Agent of conviction of our sin: (John 16:8,9) Our sin's root is our unbelief: i.e: fear (2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:16-18) Anxiety: (Philippians 4:4-7) The heart of God is that our discipline, correction is centered in our internal direction and correction!

Hindrance from the enemy: if we engage in viewing, thinking, acting in line with the devil's territory, he will start operating in our space.

ASK THE LORD WHERE THE ISSUE IS!

What if 1 Corinthians 13 isn't about you trying to love better? Discussion Questions: How do you think most people traditionally interpret 1 Corinthians 13? React to this statement: 1 Corinthians 13 is a revelation of God's love for you. Read verses 1-3. Why is love better than other spiritual gifts? Explain. Read verses 4-7 with the word "God" in place of "love." What does this do for your view of Him? React to this statement: God's love is what lasts; everything else is on a timer. Read verse 12. What do we see dimly right now? What do you look forward to most when you will see with clarity? What is the one big thing you learned from this message?

This morning we continue our study verse by verse through 1 John. This letter has been teaching us more and more about the love of God and why it is so amazing. We can understand how the perfect love of God in Christ is actually being perfected in the life of the believer as it is passed on in its purest form. The only way we, as followers of Christ, are able to love anyone at all is because of the overwhelming love of God, our Savior. He has given us this great blessing of being able to share the love of Christ with others. Scripture text for today is 1 John 4:16b-21.

A message from Pastor Matt!

In this message from 1 John 4, we look at Christmas through the eyes of the Apostle John near the end of his life. After decades of ministry, suffering, and loss, John doesn't offer advice for fear—he offers good news: God is love. This teaching explores: Why fear doesn't just live in our thoughts, but in our nervous system How God's love takes the initiative long before we do What “perfect love” actually means—and how it casts out fear Why the opposite of love isn't hate, but fear How the incarnation of Jesus is God's answer to human anxiety Rather than calling us to be braver, Christmas invites us to receive love more fully—a love that is sacrificial, unconditional, and strong enough to heal even our deepest fears. If fear has shaped your expectations, habits, or faith, this message is an invitation to step further into the love of God—and to discover the freedom that comes with it. “There is no fear in love. Instead, perfect love drives out fear.” — 1 John 4:18

Last episode of the year, it has been a heck of a journey, and we have a great one for you. I start with a personal story of letting go of unintentional connections and the difference between high standards and seeking perfection. I'll tell you why your situationship might seem okay, but how it might actually be blocking you from true love. Speaking of which, I then share a powerful conversation I had with two close guy friends, one recently engaged, and how hearing him talk about feeling inspired by his partner shifted something big for me (I think it will for you too). Finally, I then reflect on: “I'm single and healed… and now I don't want anyone." We will see about that! See you on the otherside.

Jonah 1:1–3, 11-12[1] Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, [2] “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.” [3] But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. (ESV)[11] Then they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. [12] He said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you.” (ESV)

Some Christmas memories arrive wrapped in nostalgia. Others arrive wrapped in ache. Rachel Wojo shares a tender story of opening her parents’ old nativity set—one that carried decades of meaning. As she unwrapped each figurine, the gap between the serene scene in her hands and the messy reality of her life felt impossibly wide. Many of us feel that gap at Christmastime. The nativity scenes we display look peaceful:Mary is calm.Joseph confident.The shepherds composed.Baby Jesus is quiet and glowing. But the real manger wasn’t polished or picturesque: It smelled like livestock. It echoed with labor pains. It held a newborn King in a feeding trough. It was full of fear, sweat, uncertainty, and miracles wrapped in humble cloth. The beauty of the manger is not that it was perfect—it’s that God entered the imperfect. Luke tells us the shepherds’ announcement left people “amazed”—a word meaning wonderstruck, stunned, stopped in their tracks. Not because circumstances were ideal, but because God Himself had stepped into the world through the messy, the ordinary, and the unexpected. We often think God will meet us once our life feels more peaceful, more put-together, more “holiday ready.” But the manger whispers another truth: God does His most breathtaking work in the low places.God shows up in stables.Glory often comes wrapped in straw, fear, and the unplanned. If this season feels far from picture-perfect—if grief, transition, financial strain, illness, or loneliness shadow your December—remember this: The first Christmas was not perfect.But Emmanuel came anyway. And He still does. Bible Reading:“And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.” – Luke 2:18 (NIV) Takeaway Truths The real nativity scene was messy, imperfect, and full of holy wonder. God is present when life is not peaceful or predictable. The manger reminds us that Christ enters the world right into our mess. We rediscover wonder when we stop trying to make life perfect and start looking for God in what’s real. Let’s Pray Heavenly Father, Thank You for being the God who enters stables and brings glory into the lowest places. Thank You that You do not wait for perfection before You draw near. Forgive me for believing You need my life to be tidy before You can work in it. Help me rediscover the wonder of the manger—the miracle of Perfect Love entering an imperfect world. For everyone whose holiday season feels broken, empty, or nothing like the pictures, remind them that You are the God who specializes in the unexpected places. When I’m tempted to hide my mess, remind me that You came through one.Thank You that no situation is too humble, too painful, or too chaotic for You to enter with transforming love. In the name of Jesus, who still comes to us in the low places,Amen.

As we continue to follow the missions of Paul and Barnabas, Fr. Mike highlights the fickle nature of humanity and the futility of striving for the praise of men. He also encourages us to remain courageous in the tribulations we face, finding strength in other believers, and running toward the eternal and imperishable goal of salvation. Today's readings are Acts 14, 1 Corinthians 9-10, and Proverbs 28:7-9. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

“For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” (2 Corinthians 4:17–18 NLT) God loves you. Those words are so simple and so familiar that they might be mistaken for a cliché if they weren’t also so profound. The fact that God loves you gives you immeasurable worth. It also gives you context for your entire life. Nothing in this world, good or bad, can begin to compare to God’s love for you. No grief or trouble can overwhelm you because God loves you too much to let it happen. No difficult circumstance can defeat you because God loves you. No struggles are too difficult for you because God loves you. So, when grief, trouble, difficult circumstances, or struggles come, you can put them in perspective by remembering and being thankful for God’s love for you. The apostle Paul wrote, “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:17–18 NLT). God’s love lasts forever. Paul also wrote, “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love” (Romans 8:38 NLT). Because God loves you, He is always looking for your eternal benefit. God is wiser than you are. So, if He tells you to do something or not to do something, He does so for good reason. The devil doesn’t want you to believe that. He will whisper in your ear, “God hates you. God wants to ruin your life. All those rules in the Bible are just there to make life miserable. You Christians serve an oppressive God who doesn’t want you to have any fun.” What a bunch of nonsense. I’ve lived apart from Christ. I’ve had the so-called fun this world has to offer, and it wasn’t fun at all. I’ve also found that a life with Christ is a life of fulfillment and purpose. Let us never lose our spirit of thankfulness for the fact that God loves us and is always looking out for our eternal benefit, even if what we’re presently going through is difficult.

In this week's episode I'm so honored to be joined by someone very special and like a big sister to me, Lisa Brunson! Lisa and I go way back, and every time we talk it's like we never skipped a beat. This conversation is no different—We dive into her powerful testimony of walking through years of anxiety and panic attacks, what it meant to experience God as a keeping God, and how his perfect love truly casts out fear.From serving in church, to learning the beauty of sitting at Jesus' feet, Lisa's story is full of God's presence in both suffering and redemption. If you've ever battled anxiety, wrestled with control, or wondered if God really cares about your emotions, this episode is for you.Share this conversation with someone who needs the reminder that God is not only with them, but for them, and that his perfect love is greater than their fear.The following content discusses mental health topics that may be sensitive for some listeners.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
