What is biblical love—and how do we practice it when emotions pull the other way? In this Season 2 opener of The Lions for Christ, Pastor Noel defines biblical love as holy, truth-telling, self-giving devotion to God that seeks another’s eternal good. Anchored in 1 John 4:9–10, John 14:15, 1 Corinthians 13:6, Ephesians 4:15, Galatians 6:1, Matthew 18:15–17, Hebrews 12:10–11, Colossians 1:28, and Jude 23, this message equips believers to put truth in love into action.

Real-world applications include responding to gender and identity confusion with compassion and conviction, setting boundaries in addiction and enabling, practicing integrity amid dishonesty in business, and walking through church discipline with tears and hope. You’ll learn how obedience is love’s evidence, why holiness—not approval—is the goal, and how to speak clearly, gently, and courageously so people finish well and see the Lord.

Pastor Noel challenges men to lead at home with sacrificial love, serve the church without applause, and defend the vulnerable in their communities with conviction and tenderness. You’ll learn how to build a practical rule of life—Scripture before screens, real prayer, accountable brotherhood, clear moral guardrails—and how to stand firm when opposition rises. This Season 1 finale closes with a rallying cry: take your post for the good of your family, your church, your city, and the world God loves.
