Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.
-
In preparing his disciples for his departure, Jesus prays that his joy be in them and that this joy be complete—a truly possible hope.
-
Many Christians struggle with the word “sanctified”. Because it seem presumptuous. And we don’t know how to feel about it.
-
As we approach the end of Easter, we are confronted by the teaching Jesus offers—to keep loving long after he is gone—but instead we worry.
-
The challenge of preaching about love is that we either treat it as an emotion we like or as cover for doing things we want to excuse.
-
In commanding his disciples love one another, Jesus is setting as normal what we want to believe is optional—and really, occasional.
-
We often treat love like an emotion that we merely experience. But Jesus commands us to love, to treat it like a behavior we are to learn.
