    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 24, 2013
     | 8,758 views

    In this second sermon in the series, we explore the truth that God is love, and, therefore, love comes from God.

    Introduction: A. I really like a letter that a little girl once wrote to God, it said: “Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all the people in the world. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it. Nan” 1. It is hard to imagine how God can love every last ...read more

    The Attractive World

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Sep 7, 2012
     | 4,299 views

    One of the biggest challenges for believers today is to dwell in this world and yet remain his or her distance from its fatal attraction.

    The Attractive World 1 John 2:15-17 The world is an environment that we dwell in. We have families, jobs, we own things and involve ourselves in worldly activities. Though there is maybe nothing wrong with any of these things they make it easier for us to become attached to the world beyond that ...read more

     | 5,018 views

    The Antichrist does not appear as a man in a red suit and a pitchfork. Antichrist does not mean "against Christ" but rather "substitute christ". The false apes the real and tries to replace it.

    The Antichrist 1 John 2:18-21 Introduction Last week, we talked about our affections. The source of our being is not to be grounded in this world, but in God. All the things of this world are perishing, and if our hopes and desires were built on them, then our hopes would be perishing as well. ...read more

    How Is Your Love Life Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 12, 2013
     | 4,056 views

    There is too much emphasis in today's preaching about practical and earthly matters concerning earthly love. There is a much higher love life we need to cultivate.

    How is your Love Life? I John 2:15-17 Introduction Last time we met, we discussed the new commandment which was really not new, but was the one which we have had all along. Even though John did not elaborate further on what this command was, it was obvious that it was closely tied to the command ...read more

    When it comes to love, God has set a high bar, Himself.

    We Must Love as God Loves I John 4:7-15 Introduction Last week, we were asked to test the spirits. This is because not every spiritual event comes from the Holy Spirit.
