Sometimes Love Means Letting People Make Their Own Mistakes

Sometimes Love Means Letting People Make Their Own Mistakes

Sometimes the hardest part of loving someone is realizing you can’t control them. In this message, we explore the story of the Prodigal Son from a perspective most people never think about: the father. Why would a loving father let his son walk away? Why does God sometimes allow people to make painful choices? And how do you keep loving someone when they’re hurting themselves, rejecting your advice, or walking away from everything you taught them? This sermon speaks directly to parents, families, relationships, fear, control, faith, and the struggle of letting go. Whether you’re worried about your kids, carrying guilt over someone you love, or trying to trust God with a situation you can’t fix, this message offers hope, clarity, and a different perspective on love and freedom. If you’ve ever asked: • “Did I fail them?” • “Why didn’t God stop this?” • “How do I let go without giving up?” This message is for you. 👉 Watch the full sermon, subscribe for more weekly messages, and share this with someone walking through a difficult season right now. :::

The Dangerous Lie Pride Tells Good People | Love Forward

Most people think love means being nice, helpful, or doing enough to feel like a good person—but what if real love goes much deeper than that?  In this message, we look at Jesus’ “new commandment” in John 13 and why loving others isn’t measured by convenience, emotion, or even good intentions. From Peter’s pride to Judas’ hidden rebellion, this sermon reveals how pride, selfishness, and control quietly keep us from loving people the way Jesus did.  If you’ve ever struggled with relationships, forgiveness, receiving help, or wondering why faith feels harder in real life than it sounds in church—this message is for you.  Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re just trying to figure out what faith even means, this sermon will challenge how you see love, service, humility, and purpose.  Watch to the end and ask yourself: Am I loving people like Jesus… or just loving people like me?  If this message helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and learn more about CrossPointe Church at crosspointe.tv.

God Doesn’t Want a Piece of Your Life—He Wants It All | Love Forward

What if the reason you still feel empty… is because you’ve only been giving God what’s left?  In this message, we look at the story of the woman with the alabaster jar—a moment that looked wasteful to everyone else, but Jesus called beautiful. Her story challenges the way most of us approach faith, worship, purpose, and surrender.  A lot of people believe “a little bit of Jesus is enough.” Go to church sometimes. Pray when life gets hard. Keep faith in moderation. But what if real transformation happens when you stop holding back and go all in?  This sermon is for anyone who feels stuck, distant from God, spiritually dry, or unsure if faith is really worth it. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re just trying to figure out what you believe, this message will challenge how you think about devotion, purpose, and what really matters.  If this speaks to you, watch until the end—and if it helps, share it with someone who needs it too.  Subscribe for more messages like this, and learn more about CrossPointe Church at CrossPointe.tv.
