The Love One Another Podcast | Episode 00 - Introduction

Welcome to the Love One Another podcast from Beach point Church.

This series is designed to help you stay connected to what we're learning in 1 Corinthians, whether you are listening on your commute, going for a run, or using it alongside the printed journal as a listening guide.

Jesus gave his disciples a simple but radical command.

In John 13, 34, he said, love one another as I have loved you.

So you must love one another.

And that's the heartbeat of this whole series.

It's not about sentimental love.

It's cross-shaped love.

The kind that serves, sacrifices, and seeks the good of others.

The church in Corinth struggled with division, pride, and immorality, but Paul did not give up on them.

He reminded them that their foundation was Christ crucified, the very expression of God's love.

And through this letter, he called them to let love reshape how they lived, how they spoke, led, and even worship.

So over the next 10 weeks, we will explore those same themes together.

In each episode, we'll walk through passages from 1 Corinthians with love as our lens.

We are not aiming to become a perfect church, but a unified one.

We want to be a healthy church, a community marked by humble, sacrificial, spirit-led love.

You know, there's something fresh and exciting about beginning something new.

And we hope that you feel that as you step into this series.

And remember, you're not doing it alone, but with your church family.

So if you're not yet part of a life group, we encourage you to reach out and get connected.

Your private devotional time is important.

As we know, it's life-giving and essential to our relationship with Jesus.

But in community, we get the chance to practice what we are learning, to extend the love we are receiving and to grow together in Christ ultimately.

So thanks for starting.

on the platform that you are listening from.

God bless.
