What does it mean to truly love like Jesus? This sermon explores how authentic, self-giving love is not simply a matter of willpower or imitation, but is energized by living faith. Drawing on 1 John 3–4, Mark 9, and Psalm 23, the message challenges us to root our identity in God as adopted children and to step out in vulnerable, faith-fueled love—even toward those who hurt us.

What would you do if you were God? This sermon explores why God doesn’t always pull us out of suffering — and why that’s actually an act of love. Drawing from Matthew 16 and the lives of Job, Joseph, David, and Jesus, we discover that faith is forged in the furnace of pain, and that confessing Jesus as Lord means trusting him even when it hurts.
