Introduction | Pastor John Eaton | Loyalty - A Quality God Loves | 4/6/2025

In this powerful sermon, we dive deep into one of the most important qualities that God cherishes—loyalty. Loyalty isn't just about being committed when everything is going well, but staying true through trials, disappointments, and tests of faith. God calls us to embody true loyalty, but it can also be easily exploited when misused for the wrong purposes.

We explore how loyalty can be tested in everyday situations—whether in our friendships, churches, families, or workplaces. Often, God tests our loyalty, and it's essential to understand what it looks like and how it reflects our love for Him and for others.

The sermon also covers:

The dangers of misplaced loyalty (e.g., loyalty to sinful causes like gangs, toxic relationships, or narcissistic behavior)

How loyalty is rooted in gratitude, love, and commitment

Biblical stories that teach powerful lessons about loyalty, including the story of the sinful woman in Luke 7 and the anointing of Jesus' feet by Mary in John 12

The loyalty Jesus demonstrated toward His followers, even when it wasn't easy

Practical advice on how to remain loyal, even when faced with difficult decisions or temptation

Loyalty isn't just about being there in good times—it's about showing up, sticking around, and loving unconditionally, just as Jesus has shown us.
