Love In Action!
from Faith Revival Podcast Hosted by Faith Revival Center Church of Edmonton
Jesus isn’t looking for admirers. He’s looking for people who act on what they believe. In this episode we unpack “Love in Action” from Matthew 23:37-39 and John 14:21. It starts with Jesus’ heartbreaking lament over Jerusalem: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem... how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chicks under her wings, and ye would not!” Here’s what we walk through: The Tender Heart of God — Jesus weeps over those who reject Him. His judgment is wrapped in sorrow because He longs to protect, provide, and gather His people like a hen with her chicks. Love Isn’t Just a Feeling — “If you love Me, keep My commandments,” John 14:21. The problem was never understanding. It was doing. James 1:23-24 reminds us: don’t just look in the mirror and walk away. As Scott Peck put it, love is “an act of will—both an intention and an action.” Faith Becomes Visible — Acts 8:5-8, 14-17 shows the early church preaching, healing, and laying hands so others received the Spirit. Faith takes shape in action, and that’s where God gets made known. Evangelism = Getting Connected — Using the 4 I’s: The Urgency — Jesus showed compassion and died for lost souls. One day He returns as Judge, 2 Thess 1:7-10. “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter,” Matt 7:21-23. Bottom line: Love in action doesn’t wait, doesn’t stay distant, and doesn’t stop at good intentions. Do you have a burden for the lost like Jesus did? Tune in for conviction, practical steps, and a reminder that real love always moves.
