More Than a Feeling
Biblical love begins in God's character and becomes a Christ-shaped commitment that acts faithfully beyond emotion, preference, or convenience.
The Knowing Series, Volume 05
Knowing Love
Love Remains. Becoming a People Who Love Because God First Loved Us.
Craig Marvin Johnson
The life of Christ takes shape in people who receive and give His love.
Receive the love of Christ, let it reorder the heart, and carry its patient, truthful, sacrificial life into every relationship.
What Christ gives becomes the life we give away.
Seven movements
The journey through Knowing Love.
Each movement opens Scripture, names a place of formation, and invites a faithful response.
Loved First
Disciples learn to receive the love God freely initiated in Christ before performance, achievement, or any attempt to earn belonging.
Love with Wounds
The cross reveals love as self-giving service that enters suffering, reconciles enemies, and bears wounds without calling evil good.
With All Your Heart
Loving God involves the whole person and turns worship, body, mind, desire, resources, and daily obedience toward Him.
As I Have Loved You
The church makes Jesus visible when His received grace becomes table fellowship, humble service, generosity, unity, and costly care for one another.
When Love Is Costly
Christlike love tells the truth, loves enemies, protects the vulnerable, practices wise boundaries, and seeks forgiveness without ignoring safety or justice.
Love Never Ends
God's people practice now the enduring life of love that will remain when partial knowledge passes and they finally see Christ face to face.
