How would you describe your relationship with Jesus? Skeptic? Believer? Lukewarm? Growing? This Sunday, we will be in the first part of Acts 21, and we will get a glimpse into the kind of relationship that Paul had with Jesus, which can be summed up in two words: Radical Love. Through this passage, God invites us to throw away the box that we can put Him in and experience a more radical love with Christ than we ever thought possible. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.Loving your enemy is a command that defies our natural instincts. In a world that teaches retaliation, Jesus offers a revolutionary path: selfless, unconditional love. But how? What does that look like when enemies take advantage of you, hurt you, and oppose what you believe?In this final statement of six, Jesus confronts a big lie: that love is only for those who love us back. Instead, He calls us to a love so radical and countercultural that it makes people stop and ask, Why?Today, we'll unpack what it truly means to love our enemies—not by ignoring justice, but by mirroring the love God first showed us.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 2, 2025 at 8:00am.

This episode connects the feminine and the womb with the path of following Christ. We discuss Celtic tradition, the collective pain body of women and the colonized, embodied Christianity, and how to experience grace profoundly. We also discuss innate feminine initiations and how we can honor our womanhood without forcing or pushing it. Rev Melanie Ní Drisceoil is a minister and writer devoted to the Heart of Christ. Melanie supports people with Christian ancestry to reconnect with the gifts of their lineage while transmuting the shadows and metabolising the pain-body. In her ministry at Sanctóir Croí (which means heart sanctuary in Irish), she supports women in restoring their relationships with themselves, God, and others. Her work includes one-on-one spiritual direction, ceremonies, the Mystic Mass, and teaching Christian theology in a way that honours and integrates feminine power instead of fearing it.

A sermon for Epiphany 7, February 23, 2025. Luke 6:27-38 Jesus said, "I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you. "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back."

Listen to Pastor Gawel's sermon for February 23, 2025, taken from Romans 12:14-21. The post Living Out God's Radical Love – Sermon for February 23, 2025 appeared first on St. Andrew Lutheran Church.

Welcome to ALIVE, our weekly video series designed to prepare your heart for Sunday Mass! This week, as we reflect on the 7th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus calls us to something truly radical—love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you. In a world filled with division and resentment, this message is more challenging than ever. What would your life look like if you truly embraced this call? What anger or bitterness do you need to surrender to live as Jesus teaches?

We've been changed by the radical love of Jesus—saved, redeemed, and given new life. But here's the question: What are we doing with it? When something transforms us, we can't help but share it. Just like finding an incredible restaurant or watching an amazing game, we naturally tell others about what moves us.This week, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, leads us as we dive into what it means to share the life-changing love of Christ. From the lepers in 2 Kings 7 who stumbled upon salvation and knew they couldn't keep it to themselves, to Paul's declaration that the love of Christ compels us—God's love isn't meant to be hoarded. It's meant to be shared.If we truly believe the gospel is good news, why would we keep it to ourselves? What's stopping us from sharing the greatest gift we've ever received? Let's talk about how Radical Love pushes us beyond comfort, beyond fear, and into the lives of others—so they, too, can know the hope we've found in Jesus.Missioncity.church_______________________________Sermon Notes are available at missioncity.church/watch

In this episode of Good God, George Mason sits down with journalist Bekah McNeel to discuss her latest book, This Is Going to Hurt: Following Jesus in a Divided America. Together, they explore the profound intersections of faith, suffering, and public life, challenging us to move beyond binaries and embrace self-sacrificial love in the face of division. From reframing stories about immigration and race to understanding the call of the cross as a daily act of radical compassion, Bekah invites listeners to go deeper into their convictions and rethink what it means to love their neighbors.Bekah McNeel is a San Antonio-based journalist and storyteller who writes on education, faith, and society for publications such as Texas Monthly, Sojourners, and Christianity Today.

2025 The Year of Radical Love In this powerful message, Ps. Landon Schott delves deep into the profound story of Job from the Old Testament, examining why Job's unwavering faith and love for God were truly radical. This message sets the tone for 2025 as the 'Year of Radical Love,' emphasizing that true love for God should be unconditional, without reasons that can be manipulated by Satan to turn believers away from their faith. The sermon highlights key biblical concepts such as different types of love (phileo and agape), daily encounters with God, being planted in a church, and spiritual growth through loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Alongside personal anecdotes and practical advice, Ps. Landon passionately calls the congregation to embrace and demonstrate radical love, akin to God's perfect love for humanity.

Omid Safi is a professor at Duke university and is an expert in Sufism and Islamic mysticism. He has authored and edited many books, including Progressive Muslims: On Justice, Gender, and Pluralism, and Radical Love: Teachings from the Islamic Mystical Tradition. He also has a podcast called Sufi Heart, which is part of the Be Here Now network. In this conversation we discuss radical love and justice, with a focus on the mystical experience of God's love. As wild as it may sound to modern secular ears, I think it makes sense to say that reality really is made of God's love, or rather the love that is God. In my work I unpack this vision of reality using terms like the radical unbounded openness of the nonconceptual totality of reality, but it's the same thing. Most importantly, it can be discovered directly through experience.

As we sit between celebrating the coming of Christ and entering a New Year, let's reflect on God's Radical Love in 2024. If God the author and finisher had A Final Word to declare over your 2024, what might that be? Samson had a final word and God had one for him. 

In this powerful episode of Radical Love Live, we sit down with Paul Darminio, an ordained minister (for now) in the Church of the Nazarene, chaplain at an inpatient behavioral health center in New Jersey, and PhD candidate at Northwind Theological Seminary. As a cisgender hetero man, married with two teenagers, Paul shares his evolving faith journey and deep commitment to a religious worldview that embraces all people as God's beloveds, including queer individuals often excluded by traditional church doctrines.Paul opens up about his own struggles with depression and the experience of being an outsider, offering a raw and empathetic perspective that informs his ministry today. He discusses the mounting tension between his inclusive beliefs and the anti-queer stances of the Nazarene Church—a conflict that ultimately become one of his reasons to resign.  The breaking point was a shocking scandal where church leadership chose to cover up a case of sexual abuse instead of reporting it to authorities.Now, Paul focuses his energy as a chaplain, where he provides spiritual care with a special tenderness for queer patients. He also reflects on the work of the Open Table Network and his vision for a future where radical love and justice replace exclusion and silence.Join us for an honest and hopeful conversation about faith, accountability, and what it means to truly embody God's radical love.

There are only three people in Hollywood Glenn wants to interview — Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, and Zachary Levi. In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Glenn sits down with Zachary Levi, author of “Radical Love,” an actor known for his leading roles in “Chuck,” “Tangled,” and “Shazam!” Glenn and Zachary discuss his “coming out politically” and do a deep dive into Zachary's fall into a “dopamine spiral,” his battle with suicide, and how “insanity” runs in Glenn's family “like a pack of wild animals.” The pair “thank God” Trump won the election but worry about the “snark” and “sarcasm” within the conservative movement and hope we all maintain the humility to say, “I was wrong.” Zachary says the legacy media has played a “nefarious” role in dividing Americans. Glenn explains the “octopus of the administrative state,” and they both agree that we are not prepared for AI's infiltration of every single industry. After discussing the deep state, smartphones, BlackRock, Syria, Ukraine, vaccines, Elon Musk, and even the afterlife, Glenn asks the question on everyone's mind: What does Zachary, who has just announced he's going to be a father, mean when he says he's going to “lock it down” with his girlfriend?        Sponsors     Homestead  Pre-order your tickets for Homestead at https://Angel.com/BECK.     Byrna       Byrna is the best alternative to deadly force.

DateNovember 17, 2024SynopsisIn this sermon, we discover how a 19th-century French saint's radical embrace of smallness offers surprising wisdom for our exhausting, power-hungry world. St. Thérèse of Lisieux's "Little Way"—finding strength in weakness and trusting in small acts of great love—provides both a liberating alternative to our culture's demands for constant achievement and a radical roadmap for navigating our present moment of social upheaval and disillusionment. This message speaks directly to anyone feeling inadequate or overwhelmed, revealing how our perceived weaknesses might actually be the exact places where God shows up most powerfully.ReferencesScripture: Psalm 131; 2 Corinthians 12:2–10About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.
