Finding True Love: Romantic Love

1 Comment, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

Did you know that God has a lot to say about romantic love, that deep emotional sexual love that a man and woman have for each other. In fact God dedicated a poetic book in the Bible to teach us about this kind of loving loyalty. Jeff Patton explores the Song of Songs, to make God’s thoughts on romantic love vibrant for us today.

Finding True Love: Self-love or Selfishness

2 Comments, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.


Christ reiterated the command given in the torah, to love your neighbour as yourself. Jeff hones in on this topic to help us understand the difference between selfishness and an enlightened self-interest, self-love, that helps us to love others in the same way that we should love ourselves, with an eye to achieving the best good that God has in mind for us. We don’t love ourselves then reach out to others, rather we love ourselves as (at the same time and in the same way) we love others, so that what is in the best interest of our neighbour proves to be what is also in our best interest.

Finding True Love: Love Your Neighbour

3 Comments, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.


Divine love is agape, “what God prefers.”  So what does God prefer when it comes to the question of “How do we love our neighbour?” How can we know God’s mind on the matter of “love your neighbour as yourself”? The scripture does not leave any doubt, but gives us specific instructions that all who are part of God’s “vineyard” will heed in order to produce the kind of fruit God expects.

Finding True Love

Comments Off on Finding True Love, Filed in Sermons and Media, Videos, by CGP.

Love is…

I’ve always enjoyed those “Love is…” cartoons, some are silly and sentimental, while others bring truth with humour. But the sermons in this series help us understand God’s love for us, our love for God, and how love in our lives helps us to shine God’s light into the world. Learn what love is, from the perspective of the one who created love. Let the Creator define and grow His love in your heart and mind, for His greatest attribute is love. Finding true love is within your reach.
