Radical Love
Description
We are in a series on Radical Discipleship and last week, Michael summarized the previous 11 weeks to help us integrate all of these into our entire lives as we follow Christ. We have two more weeks in this series: the root of this discipleship Luke 9:23. Radical means the essence or extreme nature of following Jesus. Last week’s summary leads us into the conversation for this week which also encompasses everything: Radical Love. Love is everywhere. It’s in our music, TV, crime shows, the reality shows that try to make people get together and love each other, our politics, and our conversations. For example: Titanic is considered the greatest love movie of the 1990s…but this further exemplifies that we don’t know much about love. Titanic was about an old woman who has a memory of how she was engaged to be married 80 years earlier but she meets someone on a boat and has an affair and cheats on her fiancé and then he dies and this is what she remembers 80 years later.

Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
