On September 22, 2024, Pastor Ryan Kimmel delivered a sermon in the series Calling Out Cultural Lies based on 1 John 4:7-12. He confronted the phrase "love is love," arguing that it oversimplifies and distorts the true nature of love, as defined by God. Pastor Ryan explained that love is not merely a human emotion or physical reaction but is transcendent and originates from God, as demonstrated through Jesus Christ. He emphasized the biblical understanding of love (agape), contrasting it with cultural redefinitions that strip love of its divine purpose and truth. The call was for Christians to reflect God's love by loving one another deeply and authentically, grounded in the truth of the gospel.
