Word of the Week - Love
Understanding Agape: The True Meaning of Love in Scripture
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church podcast's 'Word of the Week' series, Pastor Josh delves into the biblical concept of 'Agape' love. He explains its characteristics and significance through various scriptures, including 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4:8, and Romans 5:8. Unlike the conditional love promoted by culture, Agape is a sacrificial, unmerited, and unconditional love exemplified by God's love for humanity. Pastor Josh urges listeners to embody this profound love in their lives, emphasizing that true discipleship involves loving God wholeheartedly and extending that love selflessly to others.
