New Christians must understand Christian consumerism is a culture that knows how to use Jesus. A lot of people follow Him as long as He meets their wants, blesses their plans, and doesn't cost too much. That's why the American Gospel sublimely says, "Give to get." But the Biblical Gospel soundly teaches “Get to give.” When Paul says something even more disturbing: "Love does not seek its own" that means love doesn't question, "What do I get out of this?" It asks, "What can I give, even if it costs me?" Today, we will learn the distinction between merely being an American Christian or a Biblical Disciple of Christ. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE!

New Christians need to understand that some of the worst wounds in the church weren't caused by lies; they were caused by the truth being told without love. Paul states, "Love is not rude." But we've learned how to insult people in Jesus' name, disgrace them in the name of honesty, and destroy them while calling it conviction. Being rude doesn't always mean being loud. It may sound serene, right, and spiritually strong at the moment but love never hurts someone's pride to make a point. Today, we're going to dissolve the discourse that wins arguments but loses souls. Watch and learn the sixth attribute to Agape Love...NOT RUDE

New Christians need to understand we live in a society where people are obsessed with getting attention. If we look only to social media we see, carefully crafted images for others to look at. Thoughts and phrases to garner attention and gather followers. But Paul responds, "Love does not brag. "Why? Humans brag when self- doubt whispers they don’t matter.When you brag, you are insecurity with a microphone. Agapē doesn't need others to clap. It doesn't have to be seen. It doesn't need to be celebrated.And today we are going to be looking at why Love DOES NOT BRAG

New Christians need to understand in our previous video’s we have talked about Love is: PATIENT, Love is: KIND. Today we are looking at "Love is NOT JEALOUS" as the third attribute of Agapē love. (1 Corinthians 13) A proper biblical world view is essential because one of the most subtle and deadly opponents of Agapē love is human jealousy. It infiltrates our hearts covertly through fear, insecurity, and comparison, but Agapē love reveals human jealousy and then drives it out. Watch as we slowly peel back the layers of what NOT JEALOUS looks like.

New Christians must understand why a prodigal comes home? It is not the fear of their current situation. It is not the guilt from the pain their actions have caused. It is not even the shame of their circumstances.What pulls them out of the pigpen and brings them back is a memory. A memory of a parent who was kind which flows from a heart of love.Kindness that flows like a river from a heart of love is a magnet to the steely coldness of a closed soul. This is the kindness Paul speaks of when he says, ‘Love is kind.’ In today’s teaching we will learn how kindness flowing through you can heal instead of humiliate; restore rather than reject….

New Christians must understand the world we live in moves too quickly. 24 hour news cycles, opposing opinions populating our feeds, fast food drive throughs…welcome to the microwave generation. In the midst of that madness real life and real love doesn't hurry. Paul added, "Love is patient," which means power, not personality. The kind of power that stays even when you want to go. Being patient doesn't mean you're weak; it means you're strong and peaceful. Today we are going to look at the first Spirit empowered attribute of Love is…PATIENCE

Every New Christian should understand that before there was time, before creation took its first breath…Love already was.The Father loved the Son. The Son loved the Father. And the Spirit carried that love into motion. When Jesus said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,” He wasn’t talking about noise or hype —He was talking about Love empowered. The same Holy Spirit that filled Him…now fills us, the members of His body, The Church.. This is more than emotion. The divine essence of God is Love. That Love still moves with power so stick around and together we will discover the Power of Love — and the Love behind the Power.

What if the greatest act of love wasn’t performed in a church auditorium or a polished video clip — but in a remote village where one man laid down his life so another could live? Across the world, Christians are being murdered for their faith. For example, in Nigeria alone an estimated 52,000+ Christians have been killed over the past decade simply because they followed Jesus. This isn’t an ancient story. It’s happening now. So when Jesus says, ‘By this all will know you are My disciples, if you love one another’ (John 13:35) — He isn’t talking theory. He’s describing a life marked by radical love in real time.Today we start by asking: Are we ready for that kind of love?”

The Love Ladder

New Christians need to understand that the law told us what God required. Love reveals what God desires. Legalism says, ‘I must obey.’ Love says, ‘I get to obey.’” When a military commander gives an order, he expects faithful execution. But when The Commander — Jesus — gives a command, He expects faithful reflection. In this teaching Rodney explains why that’s what His commandment really is — the continuation of His character through us.
