The good news about losing your life. A sermon on Matthew 16:21-28 but Rev. Samantha Beach Kiley.

Tim Carney is back for round two, and this conversation goes even deeper into his book Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be. Tim is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he researches civil society, family, localism, religion in America, and economic policy. He's also a husband and father of six seven — and a recent speaker at the Forge Conference. Picking up where they left off last week, Joe and Tim work through the back half of the book chapter by chapter: Walkability & the "Cheaper by the Dozen" Reality Tim's hot take: "If you want fecundity in the sheets, you need walkability in the streets." Cities built around cars — not sidewalks and playgrounds — make raising kids exhausting. Tim also makes the case that hand-me-downs, shared bedrooms, and one-income households aren't sacrifices to dread but genuine advantages for kids learning to live outside themselves. It Takes a Village (Even If Hillary Said It First) The nuclear family is necessary but not sufficient. Grandparents, parishes, neighbors, and little leagues all play an irreplaceable role — and the decline of church attendance and community involvement is one of the biggest threats to family life today. Policy, Israel, and What Actually Moves the Needle Tim unpacks proposals like a "baby bonus" for new parents, and explains why Israel — not the wealthiest or most educated nation — has the highest birth rate among developed countries. His answer: culture and religion, not economics, are the real drivers. Screens, Social Media, and Protecting Your Kids A stark warning: unrestricted phone and social media access does more damage to a child's formation than anything imaginable a generation ago. Tim calls it what it is — an invasive species in the garden of your home. The Case for Stay-at-Home Moms Tim makes a data-backed, non-judgmental case for why society benefits when more moms can stay home — and why the "universal daycare" solution politicians push misses what many families actually want. Ending on Hope Tim closes with a powerful reframe: children are both a sign of hope and a cause of it. The more kids we have, the more hope we have — and the more hope we have, the more kids we're willing to welcome.

Life is not always what it seems. What we think is good for us often isn't, and what we think is bad is often good. The same is true in spiritual life. Jesus taught us many counterintuitive principles. This week we'll look at one of his most important counterintuitive principles, as we continue our sermon series on "How to Build Beautiful Relationships the Jesus Way."

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Rev. Brandon Boydstun explains God's biblical design for singleness and Christian marriage, including mutual submission, sacrificial love, respect, and becoming one in Christ.

In this message, Samuel Goulet unpacks the meaning and weight of covenant—first between God and His people, then within marriage and the church community. Drawing from both Old and New Testament language, he explains that covenant is not casual agreement but a sacred commitment initiated by God and fulfilled through Jesus. Samuel challenges listeners to let that covenant shape how they follow Christ, forgive others, love sacrificially, and build marriages marked by holiness, humility, prayer, and enduring commitment.

Send us Fan MailThe Disciples: The Wonder of Sacrificial LoveJul 19, 2026  •  Eric StillmanIn the twenty-eighth sermon of the sermon series “Meeting Jesus”, we looked at Luke 22:7-30 where Jesus transforms the Passover meal and teaches that true greatness lies in sacrificial service.

What does it really mean to love your spouse the way Jesus loves His Church?In Ephesians 5:25-33, we're reminded that God's design for marriage isn't built on convenience, feelings, or keeping score, it's built on sacrificial love. Jesus didn't simply tell us how to love; He demonstrated it by giving Himself completely for us.This message challenges husbands to love sacrificially and personally, pursuing what's best for their wives with intentionality and grace. But the truth reaches beyond marriage. Every healthy relationship begins with a heart surrendered to Jesus.Whether you're married, engaged, or preparing for the future, this message will encourage you to stop looking for quick fixes and start allowing Christ to transform you from the inside out.In this message:• Love gives more than it takes.• Love pursues what's best for others.• Sacrificial love is intentional.• Healthy marriages are built by healthy disciples.• Sit with God before you sit with your spouse.• Don't settle, keep growing.Your marriage won't become everything God designed it to be by accident. As we become more like Jesus, our relationships begin to reflect His love.At 2Rivers Church, our mission is to help people become passionate followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that when Jesus becomes the lead story of our lives, everything changes.If today's message encouraged you, be sure to like this video, subscribe to our channel, and share it with someone who needs hope today.To learn more about 2Rivers Church, visit 2riverschurch.com#2riverschurch #jesusistheleadstory #christianmarriage #ephesians5 #lovelikejesus #biblicalmarriage #Jesus #relationships #marriagesermon #theuncommonlife #theuncommonlifeseries #marriagegoals #husbandsloveyourwives #biblicallove

The Heart of a Godly Father: Strong Women, Strong Men, and the Mandate of a Godly Father "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15 Being a father is not merely about financial provision or natural discipline—it is about priestly authority. When a father kneels in prayer, the spiritual climate of the home realigns. Satan hates godly fathers because when a man takes his place at the altar, it cuts off the enemy's access to the children and grandchildren. Fathers, your family shouldn't just see you working hard in the natural; they must see you wielding weapons of spiritual warfare in the secret place! The kingdom of darkness has spent decades attempting to emasculate, isolate, and neutralize men within the church culture, turning them into passive spectators who let women carry the entire spiritual weight of the house. It is time for the men to stand up, shake off the spirit of apathy, and take the front lines of the battleground. A strong man does not rule his house with an iron fist of fleshly control; he leads through the humility, sacrifice, and uncompromised boldness of Jesus Christ. He knows how to speak directly to the mountains in his life, command sickness to leave his children, and issue legal decrees in the spirit realm that shatter generational curses once and for all. #ApostleCathyCoppola #GodlyFathers #StrongMenStrongWomen #KingdomAuthority #HouseOfGlory #MightyWindTV #SpiritualGatekeepers #PriestlyAnointing #Fatherhood #GenerationalLegacy #SpiritualWarfare #ApostolicMen

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.

Philemon 8-16 - Sacrificial Love - Connor Hennessey

“Should Sacrificial Love Be Exhausting?” Many believe that constant giving and never saying no is the essence of love, but this perspective can lead to burnout. The discussion also touches on balancing obligations to God and family, the moral implications of defending one’s family, and how these principles apply to single individuals. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:17 – Many Christians think constantly giving, never saying no, and exhausting themselves is a form of sacrificial love. Where does that idea go wrong? 14:57 – How I balance my obligations to God and to my family? 24:18 – Is there ever a time that a Catholic is morally obligated or allowed to defend one's family by physical means? Or is it ever sinful? 33:24 – Many of your examples are for married people with families. How would the principles here be applied to a single person? 41:00 – I'm 18, and there is a girl I'd like to ask out. How do I deal with the fear of rejection? 45:52 – I think I'm having a trauma response to my family. My family and I are moving onto the same property as my parents. Our family farm is falling apart and I'm worried how it is going to affect relationships.

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.

Kyle Kauffman | May 17 2026The Christian life involves sacrifice. It involves being willing to lay down our rights, give up our freedom, and make sacrifices that can prove costly, difficult, uncomfortable, and painful. This can be at odds with a world that tells us to hold onto our rights and freedoms at all costs. We can easily make an idol of our rights and freedoms and forget that rights and freedoms in this world are given to us so that we might use them to glorify God by loving others and advancing the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 8 and 9, Paul is calling the Corinthians to lay down their freedom in order to love one another and he is showing how he lays down his rights in order to advance the gospel. As we consider these chapters we are invited into living a life that reflects our Savior. We are called to consider what sacrifices God might want us to make. And we discover that the gospel gives us the power to make those sacrifices.

Pastor Nicoletti proceeds in Philippians with a sermon titled “Conformed to His Sacrificial Love” and from Philippians 3:10-11.

1 Kings 3:16-28 ESV Then two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. And we were alone. There was no one else with us in the house; only we two were in the house. And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him. And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me, while your servant slept, and laid him at her breast, and laid her dead son at my breast. When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead. But when I looked at him closely in the morning, behold, he was not the child that I had borne.” But the other woman said, “No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours.” The first said, “No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine.” Thus they spoke before the king. Then the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead'; and the other says, ‘No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.'” And the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So a sword was brought before the king. And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.” Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death.” But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him.” Then the king answered and said, “Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother.” And all Israel heard of the judgment that the king had rendered, and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.

Alejandro grew up as an orphan at Project Mexico — now he's returned as a husband, alongside his wife Evangeline, to serve the very community that shaped him. In this episode, the newlyweds share what it's like to begin their marriage not in comfort, but in calling — living on the ranch at St. Innocent Orphanage, pouring themselves out for infants, toddlers, and boys who need a glimpse of what love really looks like. From Evangeline's tender and challenging work with the babies at Casa Cuna San Felipe to Alejandro's daily life alongside the niños, their story is one of humility, joy, and choosing to trust God again and again. Together, they're discovering that marriage isn't just a relationship — it's a witness. And in a place where so many children have never seen a healthy, loving home, that witness matters more than words. Tune in for a beautiful conversation about sacrificial love, faith stretched thin and made stronger, and what it means to let God write the first chapter of your life together.

In this message from Ephesians 5, Pastor Jim frames marriage as part of God's larger new-creation work, calling believers to see it not in isolation but within the story of the gospel and the unified family of God. Using the image of good and bruised apples, he acknowledges both the goodness and brokenness people experience in marriage while urging a fresh look at God's design: a “good apple” rooted in Christ. Paul's teaching is presented as both cultural and transcendent, ultimately revealing a subversive, gospel-centered vision where mutual submission replaces self-centered authority, and marriage becomes “gospel theater” that reflects Christ's sacrificial love for the Church. Rather than reinforcing power structures, Paul redefines them through the cross, calling husbands and wives alike to die to self and serve one another in love, producing both a lived experience of grace and a visible witness to the world. The catalyst for this kind of marriage is not effort but transformation, being filled with the Spirit and anchored in identity in Christ rather than in a spouse. When reverence for Christ shapes the relationship, couples are freed from unrealistic expectations and empowered to offer truth, mercy, and reconciliation, displaying a foretaste of restored oneness and God's kingdom in everyday life.

What if your marriage could become a living picture of the gospel? True biblical partnership isn't about power or position. It's about valuing your spouse above yourself, just as Christ gave himself for the church. When sacrificial love shapes your home, daily life starts reflecting the heart of Jesus. Listen now and be inspired to love your spouse the way Christ loves you.

Dr. Tom Curran and Fr. Patrick Smith, Pastor of St. Augustine Catholic Church, Washington, DC, reflect on the second reading from Palm Sunday. [Philippians 2:6-11] Tom references the movie Mully and Fr. Pat shares insights on self-giving, sacrificial love, and transformed mindset.

Pastor Brent walks through the road to the cross, showing how Jesus willingly endured suffering, bore our sin, and extended forgiveness even in His final moments. Through it all, we're invited into a response of grateful surrender, trusting in the finished work of Christ and the depth of His sacrificial love.

Sacrificial Love—Love That Costs SomethingLoving Upward and OutwardYT: https://youtu.be/jlha74lpzroSpotify:

Orion Campus - Brandon Shank Every[one], Everywhere shows how God is moving through the incredible global partners we are honored to walk alongside. As we share the stories and ministries of these indigenous leaders, we invite you to learn, lean in, and participate—through prayer, experiences, and generosity—in work that reaches far beyond our church walls. Together, we celebrate and commit to support our partners as they build God's Kingdom and reach the [one]. Building out, not up. God's way is radical openhandedness. Instead of keeping resources to ourselves to build “taller and grander,” we pour them out to reach those outside our walls – our neighbors near and far. This upside-down, supernatural thinking has been part of Kensington's DNA since the very beginning and God has used it to multiply our impact for good around the globe!

In his new book Shooting Up: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Addiction, Jonathan Tepper recounts growing up in Madrid's heroin epidemic as his missionary parents built a grassroots rehab network in one of Europe's hardest-hit neighborhoods. Surrounded by addicts, crime, and a generation devastated by HIV, he watched lives restored through faith and discipline—while also burying friends and even his own brother after a tragic accident. This is a stark, deeply personal account of addiction, redemption, and what sacrificial love looks like in the middle of cultural collapse.

My parents weren't the type to take shortcuts. But if I'm being honest, it took me years to appreciate the sacrifices they made in those factories and steel mills. This Lent, we're looking at the temptation to seek out distractions and avoid the tough choices in life.

This week, we are joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Doug Hinderer to discuss how shifting from "scorekeeping" to sacrificial love can transform a struggling marriage.We dive into the practical difference between holy sacrifice and unhealthy people-pleasing, exploring how to prioritize your spouse even amidst the exhausting demands of parenting. Doug shares how to view your spouse's defects as opportunities for personal growth and offers guidance on navigating seasons of dryness with a commitment rooted in "total self-gift."To purchase Doug's book, Rekindled Hearts, visit Scepter Publishers. Also, be sure to check out his Relevant Radio show, Marriage Unhindered, Monday-Friday from 5pm-6pm cst.

All of us want to be part of a healthy family. No matter your life stage—married, single, parent, grandparent, or empty nester—you want to be surrounded by a tribe of people who love and support you. In this series, The Gospel at Home, Dr. Chappell shares what the Bible says about building a healthy, Gospel-centered family. In a world where parents are stressed, and kids are often confused by the mixed messages they receive from culture, you will discover how to grow a family that lives according to God's purpose.

As we finish the Gospel of Matthew, Fr. Mike takes us through Christ's passion, explaining the meaning of "Barabbas", the importance of saints, and temptation towards false truth. He also explains the context of the gospels, and how we fit into them in the new and eternal covenant. Today's readings are Matthew 27-28 and Proverbs 19:25-29.
