    Words are cheap. True biblical love is love in action.

    If you ever feel frustrated with your church—God forbid!—then just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians. First Church, Corinth was a real mess! People were fighting and gossiping. People were prideful. People were cliquish. And so the Apostle Paul wrote them a letter, trying to ...read more

    The more excellent way

    LOVE IS OF GOD Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels, once said, “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” Why is love so terribly difficult for us sometimes? Aren’t we followers of a God who is Himself love? Surely ...read more

    In today's lesson we learn that, because of its enduring quality, love is God's greatest gift. It contrast to love's permanence, spiritual gifts are temporary, partial, and elementary.

    Scripture We continue our study in The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians in a series I am calling Challenges Christians Face. One of the challenges that Christians face is the issue of spiritual gifts. Let’s learn about more about that in a message I am calling, “Love – ...read more

    We have become so desensitized by the word love. We throw the word "love" out so often, like an old man with gum for the neighborhood kids. We invest our emotions in things like: money, toxic relationships, popularity, health, selfhish motives and even th

    Loving the Right Things I Cor. 13:1-13 Introduction: There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken.

    Because God has loved us and received us as one of His own we must move and live in that love. The world ‘s definition of love is not love at all. The world around us always asks what’s in it for me and always centers on self-first, then maybe others.
