    Compassion: Without It You Are Guilty Of Hate

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Nov 14, 2015
     | 3,961 views

    Compassion is an essential element for a Christian. No compassion is equal to hate, which might be equal to murder.

    Compassion: Without it you are Guilty of Hate Kelly Durant I Jn 3:14-18 Compassion is sympathy for the suffering and a desire to help! Do something! They say that giving a beggar a piece of bread is a civil duty, but to give him a bread with butter on it, now that is compassion! Compassion is a ...read more

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 16, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,130 views

    Love is not just a word we use in a sentence; rather it is a lifestyle choice, or rather it’s a way of life that all believers in Jesus Christ must adhere to. Learn more about this as we explore some practical ways we work this out in our daily lives.

    A Lifestyle of Love 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a ** Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvrwTw2VPk8 As we are continuing in our ongoing series on Faith, Hope, and Love, today I want to continue on the topic of love.

     | 4,983 views

    Children of the Resurrection are not marked by 1) Murder (1 John 3:12, 14), 2) Hatred (1 John 3:13, 15), and 3) Indifference toward other children of God (1 John 3:16–18).

    A recent story in a popular magazine gave some suggestions for “How to Heal a Family Feud.” It was sprinkled with anecdotes of families torn apart by petty squabbles, carefully nursed grudges, perceived and real hurts, and substantial doses of anger.

    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 13,901 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    Abiding In Christ Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 10,798 views

    The ultimate goal of every believer should be Christ-likeness. The closer we walk with Him, growing in grace, the more like Him we become. In order to live victorious, fulfilling Christian lives, we must abide in Christ.

    Abiding in Christ 1 John 3: 18-24 Living a Christian life requires much more than church attendance during weekly services. Being known as a Christian is literally to be known as a follower of Christ, one who strives to live life as Christ lived. Being a Christian isn’t merely ...read more

    This passage centers around one basic truth for people that believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. People that believe in God and in Jesus Christ are considered to be “children of God.” Focus on purity as God's children.

    CHILDREN OF GOD 1 JOHN 3:1-17 #childrenofGod RESPONSIVE READING [READ 1 John 3:1-17] LEADER: How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

    The greatest proof of all that we love God is the mark of love. Since God is love, it’s impossible to love God and not to love one another.

    Do you really love God? Tonight we look at a third test that proves if you really love God. Are you marked by love? Do we love one another?

    Love That Doesn't Fail Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 5,961 views

    This is why Jesus made a sacrifice for you and me. Because he really loves us. A love that doesn't fail is a love that sacrifices. The world has no idea what this real love is, because the world is selfish.

    According to John those who say they love God show it by obeying the Word of God. There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more

    What The World Needs Now Is Love

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 27, 2013
     | 13,933 views

    One of our most basic needs is to be loved. The lyrics of a classic song reflect this worldwide longing—“What the world needs now is love, sweet love, and that’s the only thing there’s too little of.” God has met this need in Christ.

    Updated May 18, 2025 Now Glory is a word that contains much emotion and much wonder. It is often used when we experience something that has a Wow factor. Such as, "Oh what a glorious view!" or "That performance was glorious!"

    For those unfamiliar with an Anglican Service there are four Scripture readings before the message. Today’s readings were: Acts:11:1-18; Psalm 148; Revelation 21: 1-6 and John 13:31-35.
