In week two of Is This Really Love?, Pastor Ryan teaches from Romans 12:9–21 that real love isn’t just spoken—it flows from a changed heart. He unpacks storgē (familial affection) as the “warmth of mutual family love” that should mark the church, especially in a divided world.

This message shows how God’s own tender affection toward us becomes the source for loving others—including those who hurt us—and why community is the training ground for that kind of love.

The sermon closes with an invitation to surrender our cold, guarded hearts to Jesus and receive a new heart empowered to overcome evil with good.
