Love Sees Things as They Really Are

Although it can be very difficult to share honestly and openly with each other, speaking the truth, and communicating reality, is actually a way that we show love, if we do it in the right manner.

Looking for the Living Among the Dead

By: Troy Burns
Series: Standalone
In this year's Easter message, Troy points out that we all know we’re missing something precious, but we search for it in the easy places, and find out that the precious thing we’re seeking cannot be found where we’re looking. Although we seek life in the wrong places, Jesus came in search of us, to share God’s love with us, and to free us from sin.

Love Doesn’t Let Bad Things Happen to Others

By: Dean Westerman
Series: Love Better
In 1 Corinthians 13:6, Paul wrote that “Love does not delight in evil.” In other words, love is not calmly happy when bad stuff happens to others. To help drive this point home, Jesus told the synagogue leaders that He came to help Jews and Gentiles. In this week's message, Dean challenges us to remember this as we live out our lives in the modern world.

Love Doesn’t Keep Score of Failures

By: Troy Burns
Series: Love Better
It's natural to tally up the things that someone else has done or said to hurt or offend us. But as Troy discusses in this week's message, love keeps no record, or account, of wrongs. What’s the opposite of keeping that account? Releasing it. Letting it go. Also known as: Forgiveness.

Love Doesn’t Take it Out On Other People

By: Troy Burns
Series: Love Better
Genuine love is "not irritable" or "easily provoked." That means we do not let the things that irritate us end up provoking us and allowing our feelings to overflow into negative actions. Instead, we control the emotions that could lead us to harm someone else with our words or actions.

Love is Not About Me

By: Troy Burns
Series: Love Better
As Troy explains (and as Arron shares in his book), love does not selfishly insist on its own way. With that in mind, the next time you have an opportunity to do something you don’t want to do, but you know it’s the right thing to do, and/or it’s good for someone else, will you do it?

Love is Letting God Make You Who You Are

By: Troy Burns
Series: Love Better
God wants to mold you, or shape you, in order to work through you in the church and in the world. But if you’re unwilling to allow God to do that, then you’re intentionally ignoring the design and purpose He has for your life.

Love is Thinking of Yourself Less

By: Henry Holub
Series: Love Better
In this week's message from our Love Better series, Henry (the minister at the Northside church) explains that love "is not proud," or "puffed up," but rather it functions in such a way that other people's needs are more important than our own. We don't think less of ourselves, but we do think of ourselves less.

Love Makes Others More Important

By: Troy Burns
Series: Love Better
Love "does not boast," meaning that we need to avoid using lots of words to feel great by making ourselves look better than others. On the other hand, if we want to be great, in a real way, in the way that Jesus defined greatness, then we need to serve others like He did.

Love Simmers Down (It Doesn’t Boil Over)

By: Bud Gothmann
Series: Love Better
The Greek word for envy means, “imitating the sound of boiling water,” so, envy means “boiling over” with jealousy. As Bud explains, we need to "simmer down" and remember that envy actually demonstrates a lack of genuine love.
