Love Is Not About Me — Getting Back to Basics

In this message, Ash Morrison returns to the foundation of the Christian life — loving God and loving people. Drawing from Jesus' greatest commandments in Matthew 22 and John 13, Ash unpacks what agape love actually looks like in everyday life using 1 Corinthians 13 as a guide. From patience and kindness, to keeping no record of wrongs, to persevering with the hardest people in our lives, Paul's famous passage is far more than a wedding reading — it's a practical picture of what a life shaped by love can look like.
Ash also challenges us to check our hearts regularly, because it's easy to drift from doing things out of love into doing them out of obligation, pride, or routine without even realising it's happened. Whether you're a brand new believer wondering what comes next, or someone who's been walking with God for years, this message is a reminder that everything we do as Christians must be built on this foundation — and that the good news is we don't have to produce this kind of love on our own. Jesus doesn't just model perfect agape love, he fills us with it.
