Agape

In this final sermon of the "Shape of God’s Love" series, Barrett Stark explores Agape, the sacrificial and initiating love that defines the heart of the Gospel. Following previous studies on Hesed (steadfast love) and Phileo (brotherly love), this message emphasizes that true love is a way of life that chooses to move toward others regardless of the cost. Using the cross as the ultimate example, Barrett challenges the congregation to move beyond feelings and live out a love that stays, shows up, and sacrifices. The video concludes with a heartfelt parting gift and a prayer of blessing from the elders as Barrett prepares for his upcoming graduation.
