    With humanity so confused about love, who is to say what love is? The answer is God! One of the simplest and yet most profound definitions of love is found in 1 John 4: "God is love."

    READ 1 John 4:7-21 "God is love" ought to fill our hearts with warmth and hope. But we need to understand this rightly. "God is love" does not mean, that "love is God." It has accurately been said that "love does not define God, but God defines love." Love in modern society bears no resemblance ...read more

    When Your Walk Wanes

    This sermon teaches what you need to believe about your “union with Christ,” “your identity in Christ” when your faith is weak; not what you need to do, but what you need to BELIEVE!

    Riding by churches you see a lot of quips and quotes on church signs. One that I see from time to time has to do with our walk with the Lord. It goes something like this, “Exercise Daily, Walk with the Lord.” That’s well and good, but what happens “When Your Walk Wanes”? What happens when you ...read more
