Today, we're exploring a message that resonates with the core of our being: God's incredible, unconditional love for us. In a world where love often feels conditional and fleeting, we're reminded that true love has a source, a sacrifice, and a purpose to be shared.
Join us as we unpack the profound truths from 1 John 4, where love is not just an emotion but a command, a divine calling to reflect God's love in our lives. We'll hear stories of love in action, from the selfless acts of a soldier in war-torn France to the transformative power of a simple donut.
Are you ready to discover how God's love can heal the brokenness in our world and in our hearts? Stay tuned as we explore how to become conduits of this divine love, sharing it with those around us. Because, as we'll learn today, love isn't just something we receive—it's something we give.

Welcome to the NPFCC Messages Podcast. In today's sermon, Pastor Devan dives into the essence of what it means to truly live as the family of God. We're exploring a timeless message that echoes from the early church to our modern congregations: 'Love one another as I have loved you.' But what does that really look like in a world fractured by division, jealousy, and individualism?
Join us as we unpack the profound teachings of 1 John 3:11-18, where love is not just a feeling but a transformative action. We'll journey through the history of church relationships, confront the challenges that hinder our love, and discover the antidote that Jesus offers—a love that is humble, selfless, and generous.
Are you ready to explore how loving our brothers and sisters in Christ can not only heal our hearts but also make the church an irresistible beacon of hope to the world? Stay tuned, because this episode might just change the way you see your spiritual family and your role within it."
