Radical Love

We all love love! From the songs on the radio to the movies on the big screen, we love to watch a love story unfold. Our culture’s obsession with love has also made us grow detached from the true meaning. In the same breath, we can say we love biscuits and gravy while also saying we love God. Those two must be different, right? In this session, we will learn the nature of the most radical love of all time — the love of Jesus for you.

What is the Church known for? According to news outlets and online blogs, the Church is frequently criticized for its judgmental outlook and political leanings. It’s heart breaking. We must refuse to become known better for screaming at people than serving people. In this message, we will examine our call to love like Jesus and live like Jesus.

As Jesus sat down with his twelve disciples for the last supper, He knew that Judas would betray him. And yet, Jesus served Judas. We should be thankful that Judas ate. Why? Because it gives us hope. It’s a hard truth, but we all have a little Judas in us. We can be unloving, ungrateful, and even unfaithful to Jesus. That doesn’t stop Him from loving us. There was room at the table for Judas, which means that there is room at the table for you too. Even when you are at your worst, Jesus still pulls out a chair and makes a plate for you. That’s radical love.
