    Harbor City Church (Winthrop, MA) · November 2, 2026 · 40 min

What pastors are saying

“If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. How can we say that we love the Father when we love that which he hates?”
“It's cyclical. When we love our neighbor, we can see and experience the love of God. And when we love God, then we can love our neighbor.”
“I can love tacos, I can love my wife Lisa, and I can love Jesus. How do you define that love?”
“My take on this is: if you show love, then love will be shown to you. If you experience love, then it's easier for you to return love.”
“Father, we pray that our hearts today would receive and remember that you love us. And let that love drive us to love our neighbors.”
