254. Is This True, “The World Just Needs To Know God’s Love”?

This week's episode challenges the popular Christian narrative that "the world just needs to know they are loved," arguing instead that Jesus' primary message wasn't love but the Kingdom of God, with 120 references to the kingdom with only 20 to love across the gospels. The episode explores how prioritising God's love over His kingdom can lead to treating Jesus as a spiritual guide rather than King. Ultimately, arguing that transformation comes through surrender to His rule rather than sentiment about His affection.

Thanks for this Cris. HOLINESS OVER HAPPINESS. I so need to repent and recognise that I have got things a bit wrong at times on this.
