To Be Known For
from Crosstowne Church - Sermons
Elder Chris unpacks Jesus’ command in John 13:34–35 that believers are to be known not for achievements, status, or reputation—but for love. Chris reflects on his own life and the traits he once tried to cultivate, and shares how God redirected his focus to the greatest commandment: to love others as Christ has loved us. We explore four key truths—love is directed (commanded by Jesus), defined (modeled sacrificially by Christ), diffuse (extended to everyone, including enemies and opponents), and dominant (the highest and most powerful virtue). We’re challenged to live intentionally, reject casual Christianity, and allow Christ’s costly love to shape how we engage family, strangers, and even those we disagree with.For more information and resources, visit https://www.crosstownechurch.com/.
