Loving People | Immanuel

Are you loving people the way you did when you first fell in love with Jesus, or has your love slowly grown cold? In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy shares from Revelation 2, Matthew 24, and 1 John 4 how the clearest evidence of our love for God is the way we love the people around us. He defines agape as the deliberate choice to seek another person's good, even when emotion, agreement, or reciprocity is absent, and offers three thoughts: agape is the third option in a polarizing culture, it is a conviction and not a convenience, and its source determines its capacity. He also gives a simple rhythm for returning to our first love: remember, repent, and repeat.

If you've felt worn down by division, short on grace, or full of information about God but distant from His presence, this message will invite you to slow down, experience His love again, and let it flow out to the people around you.
