When people hurt us, we often hold on to it. We are really good at keeping score. But God’s kind of love does something different. Rather than holding on to how others hurt us, it looks past it and let’s it go. This is a message we can all get better at it!

A lot of us don't feel like we struggle with anger and rage. But you probably find yourself getting irritated daily. And when we are irritated easily, we find it really difficult to be loving towards others. God's love bends and doesn't break when it gets irritated.

Out of all the characteristics listed in 1 Corinthians 13, this one may be the most important when it comes to living out God's love. If we live selfishly focused on ourselves, we can't hope to love like Jesus. In this message we talk about why it's so hard to be selfless and why it's so necessary.

Honoring others is sometimes really easy. It’s easy to honor those who are powerful and influential. But Jesus shows us a different kind of honor. One that is far more difficult, yet infinitely more powerful. 

Pride and boasting are unattractive and push people away. It’s no wonder that God’s version of love is incompatible with both. In Luke 18, Jesus shows us how they prevent us from loving like Him, while also giving us the key to living life without them.

Envy is really comparison. And when you constantly compare yourself to others, it makes it very difficult to love them. In this talk, we discuss the key to living a life not controlled by comparison.

Kindness has power. It can restore broken relationships, bring together strangers, and break down walls between groups of people. We look at what it means to actually show kindness through the story of Jesus and a widow in Luke 7.

What does patience have to do with love? It doesn't seem like it would be that important. But in a culture that has trained us to be impatient, patience is more powerful than ever! So what is patience and how can it change the world?

Sometimes following Jesus seems really complicated. There are so many commands that we often want to know what really matters. This isn't a new question! People were asking this question in Jesus' day and He answered. He gave us an idea and command that applies to all situations and makes following Him so clear.

Join us as we talk with two of our students about how we spend time with God and how it has changed our lives!
