    Between Love And Hate Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 8, 2025
     | 807 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
     | 357 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

    Love And Truth - The Dynamic Duo! Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 1, 2025
     | 350 views

    Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth! The two are a dynamic duo!

    Love and Truth – The Dynamic Duo! Scriptures Texts: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.” Loving someone God’s way always requires an Action! 1 John 3:16: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid ...read more

    How To Know That You Are In The Light

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jun 14, 2025
     | 221 views

    You know you are in the light if you do not harbor hatred against anyone. 1 John 2:9 says, “He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.” Hatred is a poisonous heart condition that makes us treat others as enemies.

    Song: I have the light of God in me /2x I have the spirit of the Son of God I have the light of God in me. This is one of the choruses we sing as Christians. Let us think through this song and measure ourselves against the scale of the word of God. Let us read 1 John 2:7-11, which ...read more

    Sacrificial Love is about a love that cost you something. Hopefully people will see that giving of themselves is the kind of love that Jesus would have them give.

    Sacrificial Love John 15:13 Introduction: The Greatest Act of Love A firefighter rushes into a burning building. A soldier shields his comrades from enemy fire.
