What does it truly mean to love like Jesus? This week, we explore the challenge of Radical Love—putting others over ourselves, even when it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient.

Sharing Your Faith // Radical Love

We’ve been changed by the radical love of Jesus—saved, redeemed, and given new life. But here’s the question: What are we doing with it? When something transforms us, we can’t help but share it. Just like finding an incredible restaurant or watching an amazing game, we naturally tell others about what moves us.

This week, we’re diving into what it means to share the life-changing love of Christ. From the lepers in 2 Kings 7 who stumbled upon salvation and knew they couldn’t keep it to themselves, to Paul’s declaration that the love of Christ compels us—God’s love isn’t meant to be hoarded. It’s meant to be shared.

If we truly believe the gospel is good news, why would we keep it to ourselves? What’s stopping us from sharing the greatest gift we’ve ever received? Let’s talk about how Radical Love pushes us beyond comfort, beyond fear, and into the lives of others—so they, too, can know the hope we’ve found in Jesus.
