CrossPointe Core Values: Love

In this sermon, Pastor Johnathan explores the core value of love, emphasizing that God is love and His love is unchanging. He cites 1 John 4:7-8, reminding us that love comes from God and anyone who loves is a child of God. The pastor addresses misconceptions about love in our culture and warns against "falling in and out of love," calling it a lie from the devil.

Pastor Johnathan identifies three enemies of love: jealousy, pride, and fear. He explains how these can hinder our ability to experience and express God's love. Using Romans 5:6, he demonstrates the proof of God's love through Christ's sacrifice for us when we were still sinners.

The sermon concludes with a call to love one another as Christ loved us, based on John 13:34-35. Pastor Johnathan emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in truly loving others, referencing 1 Corinthians 13 and encouraging believers to let go of past hurts and allow God's love to flow through them.
