"LOVE WITH JESUS"

What Does Real Love Actually Cost? | John 13 | With Jesus Series

We throw the word "love" around constantly — but if we're honest, most of us have quietly decided that loving people deeply just isn't worth the risk anymore. We've been hurt too many times. Let down too many times. And the walls we've built feel a lot safer than the alternative.

In this message from John 13, we step into the Upper Room on the most important night in history. Jesus is hours from the cross. One of his closest friends is about to betray him. Another is about to deny him. The rest will run. And yet — knowing all of it — Jesus loves them anyway.

Through the lives of Judas and Peter, two men who failed Jesus in very different ways, we discover three things about what Christ-centered love really looks like:

🔹 It chooses vulnerability over self-protection
🔹 It's self-sacrificial, not self-serving
🔹 It's grace-fueled, not performance-driven

If you've ever been burned by someone you trusted, exhausted from trying to love people who don't love you back, or quietly given up on the kind of deep community you actually long for — this one's for you.

You don't have to have it together to come to the table. You just have to come.
