  • First Love Church

    Following Jesus Means Choosing Love Every Day

    Oct 26, 202643 min

    “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” is easy to applaud and harder to live when freedom means letting go of the stories that keep us in control. We gather around Jesus’ words and let them do what...

  • First Love Church

    Bless It All

    Oct 4, 202634 min

    Blessing gets misunderstood fast. We’re taught to call it “blessed” only when life looks shiny, comfortable, and successful, but Jesus keeps pulling us back to a deeper truth: the blessing is already here, and the...

  • First Love Church

    God’s Mercy Offends Our Need For Fairness

    Sep 25, 202648 min

    Fairness sounds like virtue until you meet a God who keeps paying people you think haven’t earned it. We sit with Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard from the Gospel of Matthew and let it do what it was meant...

  • First Love Church

    Freedom From Judgement

    Sep 16, 202643 min

    Contempt feels powerful for a moment, but it corrodes everything it touches, your relationships, your body, your faith. Today we sit with Romans 14 and hear a simple, disruptive command: accept each other and stop...

  • First Love Church

    To Love Your Neighbor Is To Refuse To Harm Them

    Sep 8, 202651 min

    Love sounds simple until you try to live it in a world trained by anxiety, scarcity, and power. We start with a warm welcome to everyone joining in person and online, then step into the Season of Creation with a vivid...

    What If Goodness Is The Strategy

    Sep 2, 202630 min

    If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your place with God, we want you to hear this clearly: you’re already welcome. We start by talking about seasons how we rush to “throw out the sweaters” when life feels stuck...

  • First Love Church

    Joy Is What Happens When Grief Is Lived Well

    Aug 27, 202637 min

    Joy gets misunderstood when we treat it like a mood we earn after life settles down. We start somewhere more honest and more hopeful: joy as grief well lived. That means we name the pain without flinching, but we also...

  • First Love Church

    You Can Change The Way You Think

    Aug 25, 202637 min

    Your life is already preaching something and Romans 12 asks a pointed question: is it worship? We start with Paul’s invitation to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, then get intensely practical about what mind...

  • First Love Church

    Pure And Genuine Religion

    Aug 19, 202644 min

    Certainty feels like safety until it becomes an idol, and then it quietly starts running your life. We lean into a different kind of security: confident hope rooted in the Holy Spirit, the presence of God with us...

  • First Love Church

    Miracles Begin When We Refuse To Send People Away

    Aug 13, 202641 min

    Jesus heads for a remote place to grieve, and the crowd follows anyway. That tension sets the stage for one of the most famous miracle stories in the Bible, but we slow down and notice what actually starts it...

  • First Love Church

    Peace In The Middle Of Chaos

    Jul 17, 20261h 1m

    A storm can split your house in half and still not get the final word. We’re talking about the kind of Christian faith that doesn’t pretend life is predictable, and the kind of Holy Spirit presence that doesn’t flinch...

  • First Love Church

    What If Wisdom Is Proven By Love

    Jul 6, 202634 min

    Some Sundays don’t just teach you something, they name what you’ve been carrying. We start with Pentecost as a whole season of practice, not a one-time moment, and we lean into the promise Jesus gives his followers: the...

  • First Love Church

    Love Becomes Real When It Costs You Something

    Jun 29, 202642 min

    A popcorn-filled car sounds like a petty problem until you realize it might be feeding birds, blessing something beyond you, and exposing what love actually costs. We start with that kind of everyday irritation and let...

  • First Love Church

    What If The Holy Spirit Is Rewriting The Rules?

    Jun 24, 20261 hour

    Peter argues with God, and it might be the most honest doorway into spiritual growth. We start by welcoming our in-person and online community, then lean into Pentecost as a season of staying attuned to the Holy Spirit...

  • First Love Church

    Pentecost And The Courage To Love

    Jun 16, 202646 min

    Pentecost doesn’t start with perfect people, it starts with ordinary people who are scared, grieving, and unsure what comes next and then the Spirit shows up like wind and fire. We sit with Acts 2 and ask what we...

  • First Love Church

    What If The Miracle Is Changing Your Mind

    Jun 13, 202638 min

    That quiet thought that tells you to slow down, listen longer, and choose kinder words might not be “just you.” We’re in the season of Pentecost, and we’re asking a simple but life-changing question: how do we recognize...

  • First Love Church

    Awake To The Spirit

    Jun 2, 202646 min

    The Holy Spirit is not a vibe and not a weapon. Pentecost confronts us with a living presence that shows up like wind: unseen, untamable, and strong enough to remake the way we love, speak, and see the people around us...

  • First Love Church

    Jesus Meets Us In Locked Rooms

    May 26, 202640 min

    A locked door doesn’t stop Jesus. We’re celebrating Pentecost with John 20, where the disciples are shut in by fear and grief, and Jesus shows up anyway, stands among them, and speaks the words our nervous systems...

  • First Love Church

    Love Is The Way

    May 20, 202642 min

    Love is easy to preach until you’re stuck behind the slow driver, facing the awkward delay, or meeting the person you’d rather avoid. We start with Jesus’ blunt, simple marker of discipleship: people will know we belong...

  • First Love Church

    Take A Nap And Stop Accusing Everyone

    May 11, 202634 min

    Your mind can tell a convincing lie: you’re alone, you’re unseen, you’re on your own to carry the grief, the anger, and the ache. We start by naming how a day can be both beautiful and painful, then we lean into God’s...
