    We know the love of God, because of what Jesus did for us. We obey his leading on our lives and we are confident before God. We are able through our lives to lead others to salvation to show them the example of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives!

    We know - we obey - we have confidence! 1 John 3:16-24 There’s this thing about love that is a feeling thing and I know I’ve discussed all sorts of love songs and their meanings before and the thoughts of love that people have for love another.

    In our society, sin has become a "bad word." In the name of tolorance, Christians are excusing their own sin and the sins of others. This sermon deals with the reality of Sin based on God's Inspired Word.

    INTRODUCTION: Psychologist Karl Menninger asked this most significant question: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SIN? This is a haunting question. It lingers with us, and must be addressed from the perspective of Holy Scripture, and with undaunting courage. * - TODAY, we want safe sex, so people in our ...read more

    The love of God is more than we can understand, but he has lavished it upon us! How do we understand that, how do we respond to that?

The foundations of true friendship as you meet people for the first time and you know that there will be a bond between you. I have friends like this that after years we can get ...read more

    John goes to great lengths at the start of this passage to assure us that we are members of God’s family now. It’s not how we live that guarantees us a place in God’s family. We are God’s family. But how we live shows that.
