Podcasts about sacrificial love

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? Matthew 18:12 Charles Martin shares from his book, "The Keeper." They talk about the sacrificial love God has for us and His invitation for us to have it for others.  Originally aired April 1, 2025  Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Sacrificial Love by Fr. Josh Waltz

One of our most urgent human questions is, "What is God like?" Our answer to that question has a monumental impact on our state of mind and how we conduct our lives. This Sunday, as we continue our inductive study of the New Testament book of Colossians, we'll explore a passage that paints one of the Bible's most vivid and insightful pictures of God. Join us Sunday to deepen your understanding of God and life and who we are meant to be.

Discover the one thing that separates authentic Christian community from religious social clubs in this powerful episode of Battle Drill Daily Devotional. While many churches obsess over attendance figures, building size, and programme complexity, Jesus reveals a radically different metric for genuine faith communities: sacrificial love that transforms lives.In this thought-provoking devotional, we explore how Jesus' commandment to "love each other as I have loved you" (John 15:12-13) isn't merely a nice suggestion but a divine imperative that should revolutionise how we "do church." Through compelling real-world examples from the COVID-19 pandemic, discover how ordinary people demonstrated extraordinary love by serving isolated neighbours - showing us what authentic Christian community looks like in action.Whether you're a longtime believer questioning church culture or someone curious about what Christianity should really look like, this episode challenges conventional religious thinking. Learn why your church's beautiful building, excellent music, or perfect programmes mean nothing without demonstrated compassion. Understand how the Greek word for "commandment" (ἐντολή - entolē) carries legal force, making love the non-negotiable hallmark of true Christian fellowship.This devotional transforms abstract theology into practical application, showing how sacrificial love moves beyond emotional sentiment to active service. Discover why dying to selfishness, convenience, and pride matters more than religious performance, and how this radical love remains Christianity's most powerful witness to a watching world.Scripture Reference: John 15:12-13Ready to move from religious routine to revolutionary love?

What does sacrificial love actually look like? In this week's episode, Costi Hinn walks through Ephesians 5:25–33 to unpack the kind of love every husband is called to show—reflecting the selfless, sanctifying, and securing love of Christ for His church.

C.S. Lewis knew the cost of following Christ. But when he met his wife, that cost became even more personal. Tune in to hear about Lewis’ marriage and the great wedding feast of the Lamb.

This is Pastor Tom Arnould welcoming you to the Good News Radio Broadcast. Ephesians 5:25 reads, "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." In Ephesians 5, the Apostle Paul gives three times the amount of instruction to the husband compared to the wife.

Pastor Travis Hearn brings a powerful and cinematic message to Impact Church titled “Living a Life of Sacrifice.” With raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling, he invites us into the legacy of his mother—Toni—a woman who gives up her own dreams, works four jobs, and sacrifices everything just to be present for her son. But this isn't just her story—it becomes a mirror for all of us. In this message, Pastor Travis calls you to something deeper: not just believing in Jesus, but fully belonging to Him. As he unpacks Romans 12:1, you'll be challenged to offer your life—not in part, but in full—as a living sacrifice. Worship, he says, isn't just what happens on a Sunday stage, it's what happens when your life hits the altar on Monday morning. If you've ever felt unseen, broken, or out of place, this message reminds you—you're not overlooked, you're set apart. Through the promise of Psalm 91 and the boldness of Daniel, you'll be inspired to stop conforming and start transforming. Because when you see God's mercy clearly, giving Him everything won't feel like loss—it'll feel like the only thing that makes sense.

On Sunday Pastor Jeff kicks off a new sermon series called "Women Who Shaped Our Faith -- Six Powerful Gospel Stories." We begin this Sunday with a story about an unnamed woman who did something so amazing, Jesus said what she did would be remembered down through the ages throughout human history. Do you know who she is, what she did, and what we can learn from it? Join us Sunday to find out.

In this Mother's Day message, Deb Leigh explores how choosing a life of sacrificial love forms Christ in us and reflects God's nature to others. And as a special encouragement to mothers, Deb reminds us that God sees every act of sacrificial love throughout all seasons of mothering.

SummaryIn this sermon, Chad Smith explores the Apostle Paul's letter to Philemon, delving into the themes of love, faith, humility, and grace. The discussion highlights Philemon's character, the transformative story of Onesimus, and the call for Christians to live out their faith through sacrificial love and forgiveness. Sturgis emphasizes the importance of humility and the obligation to love one another as Christ loves us, ultimately reminding listeners of the grace that binds believers together.TakeawaysPhilemon is a beloved fellow worker and brother in Christ.Paul's letter to Philemon is rich in meaning despite its brevity.The love Philemon shows refreshes the hearts of the saints.Living a Christian life strengthens the faith of others.Humility is essential in Christian relationships.Onesimus represents redemption and transformation through Christ.Forgiveness is a key theme in the letter to Philemon.Paul's appeal to Philemon is rooted in love, not command.We are all called to sacrificially love one another.The gospel compels us to live in a way that reflects Christ's love.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Philemon03:08 Understanding Philemon's Character06:03 The Power of Love and Faith08:53 Paul's Appeal to Philemon12:10 The Story of Onesimus15:04 Forgiveness and Equality in Christ17:44 Living by Grace21:04 Sacrificial Love and Responsibility23:58 Conclusion and ReflectionKeywordsPhilemon, Apostle Paul, Onesimus, Christian love, humility, grace, forgiveness, New Testament, faith, transformation

How deep is your love? Is it like Jesus'; a sacrificial love that sacrifices comfort, profit, and security to serve God and God's people? If it is, you're on the right track!

1 John 3:16 says this... This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Is this the way you've thought about God? As the One whose love actually moves us to love others, to show compassion, and moves us to live generously? This isn't some distant, uncaring God. This is a God whose heart beats for you and for every single person on this planet as well. He longs for everyone to know Him, to experience His perfect, life-changing love. And He wants us to be a part of sharing that love, spreading the word about who He is to the whole world! This is your opportunity today to rethink whatever you may have heard about Jesus. Will you take that risk and ask God to meet with you right now? Always remember there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. radio.hopewithgod.com

This Sunday, as we continue our study of the life of Joseph, we come to the point in his life when everything finally came together, God's plan for his life finally became clear, and he finally began to experience fullness of life. So what happened and what can we learn from Joseph's experience that will guide us into a similar fullness of life? .

1 Corinthians 13 is foundational to who we are as believers. It's important that we understand what true love is. In this message, Pastor John Conway shares how we can live our lives rooted in love.

In Acts 21:1-36, we encounter a chapter filled with a man earnestly pursuing the will of the Lord. As the Apostle Paul journeys to Jerusalem, he gains deeper insight into God's purposes for his life: some expected others surprising. Yet through it all, one truth remains clear: Paul understood that God's will for him was to walk in the footsteps of his Savior. What we learn in these three scenes are qualities each of us might pray for as we seek to have “The Will of the Lord Be Done” in our lives: 1. A Submissive Heart to God's Leading, 2. A Sacrificial Love for the Church, and 3. A Steadfast Faith in All Circumstances.

Series: "Koinonia" FellowshipWinter 2025Episode 4

In this episode, we explore the self-sacrificial nature of God and how His love is revealed in Christ. We discuss the concept of the Trinity, the importance of submitting our will to God, and addressing sin and gossip in a way that honors Him. Drawing from Paul's teachings in 2 Corinthians, we reflect on how these principles apply to our daily walk. The message concludes with personal testimonies and a discussion on the role of spiritual fathers and the blessings they bring in our faith journey

The nuclear family is the backbone of a strong society—without it, we will crumble. In this episode, we're talking about Elon Musk's latest love child with Ashley St. Clair and why Conservatives cannot fall into the trap of normalizing single motherhood and reckless men who create broken families. Strong individuals come from strong families. When the family unit collapses, people become weak, directionless, and ultimately easier for the government to exploit. The more broken the home, the more dependent the individual. And guess who loves that? The people in power who want control over your life. So, we are talking biblical gender roles, marriage, family, and why morals will always matter—even if they stop mattering to everyone else. A father's leadership and a mother's nurturing aren't interchangeable, and no amount of modern delusion will change that. Children need both a mother and a father in the home. And no, morals don't change for you once you're rich. Wh*re culture needs to die because the next generation is at stake.--https://policecoffee.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooc599VmOCGa3oE2DnVcJ4uLA69XDoBZf8ChiOpFqVfKc_BASiR
