Living Through Love – Part Four of the Series: Rooted & Grounded by Bryan Hudson, D.Min.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
This sermon, part four of the “Rooted and Grounded” series, teaches that believers must be rooted and grounded in God’s love as a primary responsibility. Drawing from Ephesians 3:17–20 and 1 John 4, the message emphasizes that true love does not originate from human effort, emotion, or personality, but from God Himself.
The sermon contrasts phileo love, which is relational, emotional, and often expects reciprocity, with agape love, which is sacrificial, unconditional, and comes only from God. Because God is love, those who are born of God are empowered to love beyond natural limits.
A key theme is that believers are called to “live through Him”—through Christ and through the love God has imparted. God’s love is demonstrated through Jesus, who became the sacrifice for sin, not because humanity first loved God, but because God first loved us. This perfect love also casts out fear, giving believers confidence, peace, and freedom from torment.
The sermon concludes by reminding listeners that God does not merely possess love—He is love. Therefore, abiding in love means abiding in God, and living through love is evidence of knowing Him.
