    Contributed by Carla Powell on Jan 2, 2002
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,453 views

    Discusses Paul’s use of love as the yardstick for Christian living, then turns to several congregational issues to ask what the loving response would be.

    Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany (Year C) 1 Corinthians 13, is a popular passage to use for wedding sermons, because of course the topic is love. Brides and grooms have often chosen this lesson because of the beautiful, poetic prose it contains. But Paul did not write this to the Corinthians so ...read more

    I Think I Love You

    based on 130 ratings
     | 6,868 views

    In an age where love is defined by "the way we feel today," Pastor James Dunn helps us to understand that true love is not spelled..."F-E-E-L-I-N-G-S", but rather... "C-O-M-M-I-T-M-E-N-T."

    I Think I Love You 1Cor. 13:1-8a Introduction: You can see them alongside the shuffleboard courts in Florida or on the porches of the old folks’ homes up north: an old man with snow-white hair, a little hard of hearing, reading the newspaper through a magnifying glass; an old woman in a shapeless ...read more

    Religion produces babes in Christ and a carnal church, but christian love produces spiritual maturity and a strong church.

    "Religion vs Christian Love" Introduction: If I asked each one of you what you wish for this church, I feel sure that I would not get one single person who would wish anything bad to happen here. Yet, without even asking, I already know what "Old Satan" wishes for this or any other church. He ...read more

    The Most Important Virtue - Love

    The Bible has a lot to say about love. But so does the world. The problem is that the world doesn’t say the same thing the Bible says, & we tend to get the two mixed up.

    MELVIN NEWLAND,MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. I like the story about a rather legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote Bible book, chapter & verse to ...read more

    We must show love to our children

    What Makes a Man a Dad Maybe you’ve heard the old story about fatherhood that says that when a child is 4 years old he says proudly, "My dad knows everything about everything." When he is 7 he says, "Dad knows almost everything about everything." When he is 12 he says, "Well, ...read more

    Give More Than Money Series

    Contributed by Jack Allen on Jun 12, 2001
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,689 views

    While I do not see much of this directed at the church, too many parents seem to confuse money with love.

    It seems that the church and the family in America mirror each other. We can probably agree that the church and the family should be the places where one finds love. Yet, neither seems to be a very safe place to find love today. Families break apart and church people gossip. Little sense of ...read more
