     | 998 views

    We don't know what we don't know! The unseen and unknown can give birth to fear or faith. You decide. Fear breeds fear.

     | 1,498 views

    This is the third sermon I preached in this series. We find a challenge issued by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle John which helps us see how to fulfill the Great Commandments “Love God and Love Others” and the Great Commission.

    Text: 1 John 4:1-11 (1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: (3) And every ...read more

    The devil is a cruel cunning foe. To be vigilant against his attacks is not only a duty but also a mandatory essential to life.

    And Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel. (1 Chronicle 21:1) When marriages disintegrate, churches split into several fragments, governments collapse, and institutions go bankrupt, who do you think is the supreme architect of these evil situations?

    Why Are We Afraid

     | 2,132 views

    This message is about fear, asking the question "Why are we so afraid?" Fear is one of the drivers of hate so what we are seeing is exactly what Jesus prophesied would happen in these last days.

    Why Are We Afraid? Scriptures: Second Timothy 1:7; Luke 12:22-32; First John 4:18 The title of my message this morning is “Why Are We Afraid?” This past week a man was charged with murder after he allegedly shot and killed a young woman who was in a car that mistakenly pulled into his driveway ...read more

    Christmas And Love - The Connection

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Dec 16, 2021
     | 4,263 views

    For many, Christmas is a secular holiday where people feel "the Christmas spirit" and thus are a little more caring of others. It's a time for giving gifts and having large family gatherings for a holiday meal. But for a Christian, it anything but. For a Christian it is about Love.

    Christmas and Love – The Connection Scripture: John 3:16; Mark 12:30-31; First Peter 4:8; First John 4:16-19 This morning I want to talk to you about the connection between Christmas and love. This Saturday we will celebrate Christmas. This is the time of year when people tend to be more ...read more

    To be able to love well means I have to embrace the 4 letter word, “Love” in its original definition and its created application – Because that word “Love” has been twisted and distorted by this world – But the true meaning of love goes back to God’s meaning of love!

    The Surety Of God's Love

     | 4,794 views

    With all of this unrest in our country, some people may wonder where God is in all of this. Others are tempted to question God's goodness. But just because there is human hatred and violence in our presence, this in no way negates God's goodness and love.

    This probably comes as no surprise to you, but since covid-19 rearranged so many of our lives and schedules, we have changed how much time we spend looking at a screen, whether it's a tv, smartphone, laptop, or computer screen. As a country, we're spending a significant amount of time on ...read more

    Having No Fear

     | 3,721 views

    Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

    Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

    God fills you with love, and as you mature in Christ, that drives out the fear of eternal damnation, the only real fear worth mentioning.

    5th Sunday of Easter We’ve grown so accustomed to seeing St. Paul as one of the good guys of history, especially of Catholic or Christian history that we might be shocked by today’s reading from the Acts. Paul comes to Jerusalem after a three-year retreat in the Arabian desert. He comes full of ...read more

     | 2,970 views

    Tying the Gospel portion of the lectionary (John 15:1 - 8) to today’s text (I John 4:7 -21) we can draw the conclusion that if we are detached from the life giving vine that we are incomplete, insecure, dissatisfied and spiritually starving.

    PERFECTING LOVE Text: I John 4:7 - 21 1 John 4:7-21  Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. (8) Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.  (9)  God's love was revealed among us in this way: ...read more

    Written in 2020, this message applies to all fear; but especially addresses fear of the Corona Virus. Fear is part of the human condition; but our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of our false securities.

    I’ve entitled our sermon for this morning, “Take Off Your Mask and Be Unafraid.” All of us want to feel as though we have a good handle on life and that nothing ever shakes us; but in reality, we are fearful creatures. So, what are some common fears we might see? Well, some people fear growing ...read more
