    How the Bible’s description of love debunks three popular myths about love.

    Never once did Jesus fail in this, not in his heartbreak or his anger, not in his joy or his betrayal. Jesus Led By Love. His default has always been love! He led with love because He was led by love! I believe it’s time for the church to be “Led By Love” so we can lead with love!

    The last months and most recently the last few weeks have been pretty challenging for us all. I heard one pastor say that this has been the toughest season he's ever led through from leading through this COVID 19, the political insanity, the news insanity, to the most recent events of the ...read more
