    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 18, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,553 views

    Our society confuses LOVE and LUST. Unlike lust, God’s kind of love is directed toward others, not inward toward ourselves. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations. It is natural to love them that love us, but it is supernatural to love th

    Opening illustration: Newspaper columnist and minister George Crane tells of a wife who came into his office full of hatred toward her husband. "I do not only want to get rid of him, I want to get even. Before I divorce him, I want to hurt him as much as he has me." Dr. Crane suggested an ...read more

    The sermon examines the fifteen qualities of love found in I Cor. 13:4-7.

    Today we look at the last four qualities of love found in I Cor. 13:4-7. Instead of examining these four individually I want to make three connecting statements about love. These three statements connect the four and give clarity since they are all interrelated. The first statement is: Love has ...read more

    This sermon is about getting back to the basics of being a Christian and one area is love.

    LOVE IS BASIC BUT THE GREATEST Last week we looked at getting back to the basics of Christianity. Staying with that theme in mind today, love must be included in getting back to those basics.

    It’s been said that there are two kinds of people in the world -- those who are millionaires and those who would like to be. And that’s one example of jealousy, but it’s only a piece of it.

    Introduction: Those of you who are Muppet fans will know that one of Kermit the Frog’s most famous lines is, “It’s not easy being green.” But I beg to differ. Shakespeare called jealousy “the green sickness”, and we often speak of people being “green with envy”. And, in that regard, it’s all ...read more

    This was a very non traditional wedding sermon for a couple who met online.

    What began as a Facebook search resulting in the response “Boy, he’s hot!” turned into a sneak attack setup date resulting in the response “Boy, she’s hot!” turned into a relationship… turned into a friendship… turned into an engagement… and now has turned into a marriage.

    Loving others unconditionally is humanly impossible but He has given us the tools and power to love others like He does.

    AGAPE LOVE AND GODLY RELATIONSHIPS “Christian love has God for its primary object and expresses itself first of all in explicit obedience to His commandments. Self-will, that is self-pleasing, is the negation of love to God. Christian love whether exercised toward the brethren, or to men generally, ...read more

    Some people look at themselves, at their image, as though they were looking into a very tiny mirror. You know the mirror I'm talking about. Every woman seems to have one. I know my mother would always have one buried somewhere inside her purse. Updated January 2020.
