What Agape Love is Not

Sep 14, 2025    Jaime Gonzalez

Are You Living Hollywood's Version of Love Instead of God's?

This challenging sermon exposes how society has twisted our understanding of biblical agape love. Join Pastor Jaime as he tackles the uncomfortable truth that "being nice" isn't the same as being loving.

What You'll Discover:

- Why God's love isn't based on feelings or performance

- How Hollywood and culture have programmed us with false definitions of love

- What Jesus meant when He said "I came not to bring peace, but a sword"

- Why correction and discipline are acts of love, not meanness

- How to love like Christ actually loved (not how movies portray it)

This Message Will Transform:

- How you love your spouse and children

- Your approach to sharing faith with unbelievers

- Your understanding of biblical vs. cultural love

***Fair Warning: This isn't a feel-good message. Pastor Jaime uses raw personal stories about marriage and parenting that will challenge your assumptions about love. He addresses tough topics including confrontation, discipline, and why being "politically correct" might actually be unloving.

"When you learn to operate in [agape] love... You're going to be a hard individual to beat, to bring down, to take down. That's the victory right there."
