Love

When we give our lives to Jesus as Savior and Lord, a passion within us is sparked to love Him with all our hearts. Yet, over time, we tend to grow lukewarm in our walk with God. A dryness sets in. Through this 6-day devotional, may we grow in our love for God, recognizing and responding to the truth that He first loved us. 

This Is Love

“With all that’s going on in our world, I felt it was time to give back by going back to my gospel roots. The world is in a place of chaos, confusion, and fear, but with God on our side, directing our lives, this too shall pass. In these times of social distancing, I believe through God, Love, Family, and Music we can still come together.” - Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins

But what is love, and how do we know what it looks like? This 7-day study through 1 Corinthians 13 will teach you the Bible’s definition of love in order to help you love well.

The First Gift

Psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Les Parrott provides a revolutionary path to success in the ultimate human challenge: truly loving other people. Let's be honest. How many times have you fallen short at being a good friend, a wise parent, or a self-giving spouse because you didn't love--truly love--at the highest level? It's tough. We're bound to fail. The bar is so high, especially if you aspire to love like Jesus. But it's not impossible. In  Love Like That , Dr. Parrott takes the latest findings from sociology and psychology and blends them with biblical understanding to reveal practical and often counter-intuitive ways of loving like never before. He breaks them down into five factors--being mindful, being approachable, being a grace-giver, being vulnerable, and being empathetic--and shows how to practice them in daily life. The result will be deeply fulfilling and meaningful connections with nearly anyone you encounter--but especially in the relationships that matter most.
