In this week's message, 'Let Love In,' we explore the call to unconditional love, even when it's inconvenient. Interruptions in life, like a telemarketer during dinner or an unexpected neighbor visit, can be frustrating. However, these moments are opportunities to show love. Jesus spent much of His ministry connecting with people, not just preaching. The story of Simon and the sinful woman in Luke 7:36-50 illustrates the importance of breaking through intellectual and relational barriers to show 'agape' love—unconditional and selfless. Jesus calls us to receive God's love and let it transform our actions.
