Biblical Love: Intro (It's more than a Hallmark moment)

In a world of self-seeking love we need to step back and do the hard work of seeking God's definition of self-sacrificial love. Over the next number of podcasts we will be unpacking how God defines love. How do we as followers of Jesus grow in love? Join us as we seek to find answers that go beyond our culture's ever fleeting feeling of love. Love is...so much more than what we see in movies, hear in music, and see displayed on the tv screen. "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." "God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."
