Love one another, the way that Jesus has loved you.
FEATURED SERMON
"Are you living up to your name?"
by Pastor Keyon Thomas
Agape (verb)
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not agape, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not agape, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not agape, I gain nothing. 4 Agape is patient and kind; agape is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Agape does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Agape bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Agape never ends;
ABOUT US & WHAT WE BELIEVE
“Agape one another & worship the Lord”
Ephesians 4:2-6
At Agape First Church we take the words of Jesus seriously. This is why what Jesus says in John 13 has become one of our guiding light:
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you agape one another; even as I have agaped you, that you also agape one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have agape for one another.”
Couple this with what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13 (see above definition of agape) we firmly believe the most important thing besides Jesus to the Christian life is agape.
We want to help everyone learn more about God's love (agape) and how to share that love with the rest of the world.
