The Road Less Stupid W4

This week we get hit with the relationship question that ruins all our excuses: “What does love require of me?” Using Jesus washing the disciples’ feet on the night He knew betrayal and abandonment were coming, the sermon reframes love as something you do, not something you feel and makes Jesus (not culture, comfort, or being right) the standard: “Love one another as I have loved you.” From there, it gets painfully practical, showing that love always requires proximity (getting close enough to see people as human), dignity (refusing to strip worth from anyone, even when you disagree), and cost (laying down pride, time, and the need to win), and it ends by inviting us to respond through communion and embodied, sacrificial love that looks like Jesus in real relationships.
