God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

1 John 4:7-11
Dr. J. Vernon McGee
We can’t love others in our own strength. It takes the love of God “poured out in our hearts” to love each other God’s way. Learn more about how to love one another using Jesus Christ as our example.
This is Love Part 2
Jeff Johnson
We dive back into First John chapter four with pastor Jeff Johnson this weekend. God loves us more than words can tell, and now He calls us as His followers to love one another as He has loved us! Sounds like a tall order, but realize He also empowers us to do this. We’re simply to be a conduit of His love, allowing it to flow in and through our lives.
What About Love Part 2
James Kaddis
What is love? Ask ten people on the street that question you might get different answers! So how would you answer that? Today on Light on the Hill we’ll hear what the Bible has to say about love, and as you’ll soon see, it’s far different than what we see in the world. All of this is part of our What About series, where we’re taking on difficult questions, and looking to the Bible for answers.
God Is Love
Pastor Ray P. Smith
God so loved man that He gave man a part of Himself.
Loving Like God
Jack Hibbs
Have you ever heard the declaration, “God is Love?” Iʼm sure you have! But do you know where to find it in Scripture? Do you know what the author meant by it? Is it often misunderstood or taken out of context? Well, of course, John is the one who, in his gospel, referred to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” It seems John the apostle had particular insight into -- not just love, per se -- but divine love!
This is Love Part 1
Jeff Johnson
We’ll be resuming pastor Jeff Johnson’s series in First John, with another stop in chapter four. The apostle John is about to return to his main theme of loving one another, as he explains this is the telltale sign that we’re truly born again.
