Podcasts about Perfect Love

Send us a messageThe current-day movements that have been popularized and which cater to a “post-modern” generation as it is called, are part of the many counterfeit endeavors that have been orchestrated by Satan to keep as many as he can from coming to the Saving knowledge of Jesus the Christ, and the Promise of Eternal Life that is realized in Him alone.The enemy of man's souls will stop at nothing to distract the people of earth from realizing their desperate need of the Savior, and the “new birth” miracle that must take place within their sin-deadened spirit, to ensure their entrance into the Kingdom of God. And the great deceiver is an expert in his deeds of deception.His most successful tactics are centered on the fallen nature of man which is already saturated with self-seeking motives and desires. And because he uses Scripture – or perhaps better said misuses Scripture – to support his lies and deceptions, many are drawn into a false security which makes them feel superficially secure – but keeps them entangled in the web of pride that has set them up for a very great fall – and most tragically – robs them from the Eternal Life and Perfect Love the Father desires to lavish upon them.As we consider these Scriptural truths, we will seek the Holy Spirit's wisdom as to what the genuine “Fear of God” really is, and why it is mandatory to one's entering into the fulness of His Perfect Love.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

1 John 4:17-21 September 21, 2025 Pastor Nick Shaffer

Send us a messageThe Holy Spirit wisdom we will hope to expound upon in this current Study is – what does it really mean to “fear” the Lord, and how does this holy reverence link mankind to the Perfect Love of God that removes the dread of eternal punishment, and the penalty of sin's death that we all deserve.The correct answer to these questions is critically important  - especially now in the time in which we are now living, as the Prophetic Word of Truth dramatically unfolds in the earth and heralds the soon Return of our Savior. For we must not forget that there is a spiritual  battle raging over the souls of every man and woman on earth; and as Satan vies for as many victims he can deceive, his counterfeits and deceptions are becoming more sophisticated and cunning. And while these demonic and pride-filled tactics continue to have their way, the fear of God is diminishing almost to the point of being virtually non-existent. With the frightening result being that many are entering into a false conversion that is completely devoid of the eternal security which is only guaranteed to those who have been “born again” of the Spirit of the One and Only True God of all Creation.Therefore, this message will be launched upon the springboard of Holy Spirit wisdom that is birthed from within the “Fear of God.”Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Title: God's Perfect LoveSpeaker: Luke BrandonScripture: Psalm 118Episode Overview:In this message from Psalm 118, we explore God's steadfast love as the remedy for fear. Fear is a natural part of life, but the psalmist points us to a greater reality: God's love that never lets go. Drawing from the lives of Jim Elliot, Jesus Himself, and the teaching of Hebrews, we see how God's enduring love gives us confidence in our afflictions, assurance for our souls, and trust for our daily provision.Key Highlights:• Jim Elliot's story of fearless faith and the eternal perspective that guided his mission.• How Psalm 118 shaped Jesus' final moments before the cross, giving Him strength to endure.• Practical lessons from Hebrews on trusting God with our needs rather than being consumed by anxiety.• The power of “hesed”—God's covenant-keeping love that refuses to let go.• How to fight fear by crying out to God, recalling His truth, and resting in His promises.Call to Action:This week, when fear rises in your heart—whether about your future, your family, or your finances—pause and remind yourself: “His steadfast love endures forever.” Take a moment to call out to God in prayer, name your fears before Him, and ask Him to replace them with confidence in His love. Fear is a liar, but God's love is unshakable.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Jase shows his age with a few embarrassing “old man moments,” ending with a failed bribe attempt that proves $20 doesn't go far anymore. Al's “walk of shame” in New Orleans has the guys thinking about launching a new “Phil Says” segment to share classic Robertson one-liners. Jase then dives down a rabbit hole to explore what the Bible says about being “perfect,” exploring 1 Corinthians 13 and 1 John 4 to reveal how God's perfect love casts out fear, transforms relationships, and changes lives. In this episode: 1 Corinthians 13, verses 4–13; John 11, verses 1–5; 1 John 4, verse 18; Matthew 5, verses 43–48; Matthew 19, verses 16–22; Romans 12, verses 1–2; Romans 13, verses 8–10; Romans 14, verses 5–9; 1 John 4, verses 13–18 “Unashamed” Episode 1130 is sponsored by: https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al is finally losing weight!

Test the Spirits (Verses 1–6): Believers are warned not to believe every spirit but to test them to see whether they are from God. A true spirit acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Those who deny this are not from God but from the spirit of the antichrist. 2.God Is Love (Verses 7–21): The second half of the chapter emphasizes that love is the defining mark of God's children. If we truly know God, we will love others—because God is love. •God showed His love by sending His Son to die for our sins. •If God loves us that much, we should also love one another. •Perfect love casts out fear—especially fear of punishment—because love involves trust and intimacy with God. •If someone says, “I love God,” but hates their brother or sister, they are lying.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. – 1 John 4:18 (NET) This week, Alison teaches from 1 John 4, featuring a conch, and a sea slug, and the long, spiraling journey to perfect love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-8 ESV If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Those who have received God's love will reflect it, rest in it, and respond to others with it.

The post 2025 6 29 Gods Perfect Love – 1 John 4 16b-21 appeared first on Galilee - Gorham, ME.

Perfect Love drives out fear...and envy! Proverbs 27:4 says “Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?”  James 3:15 even says envy is demonic in nature! Though it may seem like jealousy and comparison have the power, we're going to talk about a greater power that far surpasses and overcomes, Jesus! When we understand Jesus came as God's one and only Son tosave us, to have life to the full now and into eternity, when we didn't deserve it, then we want to show this grace and love for others, putting their needs before our own like Jesus did for us. It all goes back to the cross. Picture Jesus on the cross, dying for you, when we do, what more could we askfor? What's there to be jealous of?

Enjoy this teaching which dovetails Jesus' instruction to be perfect like our Heavenly Father is perfect and Father's Day...

WEEK 5: HIS DISCIPLINE IS PERFECTJoseph: In God's HandsBeholding the Perfect Love in God's CorrectionAs the famine reaches devastating proportions, Jacob's family in Canaan is forced to seek food in Egypt. Sent there by their father to find bread and grain, God has a greater purpose for Joseph's brothers: to use this hardship to expose their past sins. Through Joseph's orchestrated encounters, they experience deep conviction, leading them to repentance – a work only God accomplishes. Even in their desperation, God – whose discipline is perfect – actively weaves together events to bring about their spiritual restoration.In today's message, we encounter the uncomfortable but life-giving truth: God's discipline is not punishment—it's love in action. As we walk through Genesis 42, we witness how the Lord uses pain, hunger, confrontation, and isolation to call Joseph's brothers out of sin and into surrender. God isn't interested in revenge—He wants restoration.Just as He did for Joseph's brothers, God lovingly disciplines us to break the chains that bind us. He allows our struggles to expose the sin that blinds us and uses suffering to lead us to repentance, healing, and freedom.Key Takeaways:God's discipline is always motivated by love, never wrath.Pain often reveals what pride and self-deception try to hide.The path to healing often goes through hardship—but it's never wasted.God uses methods like scarcity, confrontation, and even loneliness to draw us back to Him.Real surrender begins when we stop running and start repenting.Whether you're in a season of relational pain, spiritual dryness, or facing the fallout of past decisions, today's message is a reminder: God's discipline is not rejection—it's proof that you're His.Related Scriptures for Study:Genesis 42Hebrews 12:5–11Proverbs 3:11–12Revelation 3:19If you're in the furnace right now, don't despair. Ask God what He wants to show you. His discipline is perfect, and it's always for your good.Need prayer or guidance? Our team would love to walk with you. Visit bannockburnchurch.com/prayer

Podcast Description:In this episode, I open my heart and speak from a place of deep reflection—because I've come to understand that I don't want the “perfect” love that looks good on the outside but lacks depth on the inside. I want a love that's perfect for me—one that feels safe, emotionally mature, spiritually aligned, and built on truth.This isn't about flawless people or fairy-tale relationships. It's about the kind of love that allows both people to be human—flawed but committed, imperfect but intentional. I talk about what it means to desire a sacred connection where both partners are capable of communicating through the hard times, standing in vulnerability, and choosing each other with consistency—not out of convenience, but out of alignment.I also share parts of my personal journey—how letting go of past connections, even ones filled with love, was necessary for growth. How sometimes we confuse chemistry for calling. And how the waiting season isn't a punishment, but a preparation. What may feel like silence is often God's way of clearing the path so the right kind of love can step in.This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned, “Is it me?” or felt like they were “too much” for the wrong people. You are not too much—you were just offering your love to people who weren't equipped to receive it.Love doesn't need to be broadcasted to be real. It needs to be felt, honored, and nurtured in quiet spaces where trust is built and authenticity is welcomed. If you're in a season of becoming, of healing, or simply waiting for the kind of connection that sees you and stays—this episode is for you.

(1 John 4:16-21) The Bible mentions different types of love, but only one is deemed "perfect," the love of God. God's love provides a meaningful motivation for all His children. After all, He did love us first! (09103250428)  Visit https://enjoyingthejourney.org/you-can-know/ to download the FREE “23 Birthmarks of the Believer” handout. 

Have you ever wrestled with fear—fear of judgment, fear of not being enough, or fear of where you stand with God? In this powerful message, Francis Chan confronts one of the greatest struggles in the church today—the insecurity that keeps us from fully embracing God's love. Why do so many believers live in doubt, questioning their salvation? And how can we break free from the lies that hold us captive? Francis unpacks these questions and reveals how God's perfect love casts out fear and how we can find true confidence in Him.

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.
