Jesus tells a famous story about what it looks like to sacrifice our time, money so that someone else can thrive. We look at the obstacles to love, characteristics of love and the engine of love.

Luke 9:18-36 - Jesus invites us into a life of self-denial. Nothing could be more counter-cultural; and yet there is not a greater need in our culture than sacrificial love. Much thanks to Les Newsom for his insights
