In this powerful message from Pastor Justin Larkin at Northeast Christian Church, we explore what it really means to love God—not just through words or token efforts, but through total commitment. Drawing from 1 John 4:7–10 and 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Justin explains how God is not just loving—God is love.

With relatable analogies, including a memorable chicken and pig story, this sermon challenges us to move from contribution to complete devotion.

Are you making a contribution… or a commitment?

Let these truths guide your heart as you follow Jesus daily:

✅ God is not just loving—He is love.
✅ Loving God requires total commitment.
✅ Even when we fall short, God's love never fails.
