The Only Way Forward | Rev. Robert Johnson | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

In this week’s message, Pastor Robert unpacks the profound truth that love is the only way forward. Drawing from scripture and real-life stories, he reminds us that love is not just an emotion or a single action—it is a way of life. Whether it’s through prayer, encouragement, truth, or sacrifice, love takes on whatever form is needed to help others flourish. Through the example of the Good Samaritan, we see that true love listens, participates, and cares, even when it’s inconvenient. Pastor Robert also shares a powerful analogy from the Avengers movies, illustrating how unity and sacrifice bring victory. Just as Dr. Strange saw only one path to success, the Bible teaches that love is the only way forward. Love was God’s response to a broken world—He gave His Son, Jesus, so that we could experience redemption and transformation. This love isn’t just for us to receive but for us to extend to others. So what does this mean for us today? Love calls us to show up, to listen, to immerse ourselves in the lives of others, and to help them flourish. It challenges us to go beyond words and take action—whether through kindness, forgiveness, or simply being present for someone in need. If we want to see real change in our lives, our relationships, and the world around us, we must choose love. Don’t miss this powerful sermon! Watch now and discover how love can truly transform your life and the lives of those around you.
