About this episode
Pastor Joe discusses the unshakable love of God as revealed in Scripture.
Where do we look for love? What happens when we look in the wrong places? In this message, Pastor Joe teaches from Scripture about the permanent, initiating, and unshakable love of God. The Bible tells us that God does not wait for us to love Him first. He loved us while we were still sinners, sent His Son as the payment for our sins, made us alive in Christ, and calls us His children. This sermon walks through several passages, including 1 John 4:10, Ephesians 2:4–9, 1 John 3:1–2, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, John 3:16, Romans 5:8, and Romans 8, showing that God’s love is not based on our worthiness, performance, ethnicity, or ability to change ourselves first. God’s love is not temporary. It is not reluctant. It is not fragile. He loved us first, demonstrated that love through Jesus Christ, gives us eternal comfort and good hope, and promises that nothing can separate His children from His love. If you have ever wondered whether God truly loves you, whether you have failed too many times, or whether you are still His child, this message is a reminder: God has not merely said He loves you—He has shown it.
