    Love is a word that is often used but seldom understood in its truest depth. Human love can be flawed, conditional, and inconsistent. But the love of God is beyond human comprehension—it is unconditional, sacrificial, and unchanging.

    Between Love And Hate Series

     | 715 views

    Sometimes to truly understand something, it’s easier to look at and compare it to its exact opposite. What would you say is the exact opposite of love? How about hate? In this Sermon we look at what 1 John says about love and hate.

    By a show of hands, who is going for the Chiefs tonight? Who is going for the Eagles? Who could care less? You know, it’s interesting how people can be so passionate for their favorite team in sports. But then I think about how passionate I can be for other things too. Like music. Like art.

    1 Corinthians 13:1-3 remind us that love is central to everything we do as followers of Christ. Love is not an optional extra; it is the defining characteristic of a true disciple of Jesus.

    Go! And Love as Christ Loves Introduction 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NLT) declares:"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

    Worshiping At The Temple Of Aphrodite Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 21, 2025
     | 265 views

    Aphrodite, like so much of what the world worships, is a false god offering a very false and imperfect form of love. Versus the one true God that we believe in representing TRUE LOVE. Today we are going to be studying “The Love Chapter,” as it is called. 1 Corinthians chapter 13.

    INTRODUCTION: Over the last two Sundays we have been exploring what the Bible says about love… specifically the kind of love that God demonstrates for us, gives to us, and is for us. We talked about how there are different forms of love, some very shallow and feeling based, some that are more ...read more

    God has called us to be our brother’s keeper, to love and care for one another as He loves us. In a world that promotes selfishness and individualism, we must rise and embrace this divine responsibility.

     | 2,330 views

    If we harbor hatred or bitterness in our hearts, it leads to disharmony, dissension, bickering and slander amongst brothers. God’s word teaches us how to root out bitterness and be reconciled to one another so there is perfect peace and harmony amongst us.

    Esau reconciled with Jacob We read in Genesis 33:4, “When Esau saw Jacob, he ran to meet him. He put his arms around Jacob, hugged his neck, and kissed him. Then they both cried.” (ERV) The above mentioned verse portrays what transpired between Esau and Jacob who were twin brothers, when they met ...read more

    Kingdom Keys - Isaiah Series

     | 742 views

    Evangelism is sharing the hope we have within us that many do not want to hear because it means admitting our rebellious, sinful nature AND there is a qualified to judge.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

     | 853 views

    The life of grace is the start and the first standard in the heart of a Believer.

    Those who have disdain in their hearts for their brother must be deprived of love. Jesus taught that hate is the same as murder. The life of Jesus, eternal life, cannot abide in us if we hate others. Do we detest any of our fellow Christians, or for that matter, anyone else? How can we say that we ...read more
