    What is a church? Is it a place for the religious and the ceremonial? Is it a place for history and tradition, Is it a place for socializing and cliques Or is it a place where the love of God is known,

    Bill Johnson says: It is abnormal for a Christian not to have an appetite for the impossible. It has been written into our spiritual DNA to hunger for the impossibilities around us to bow at the name of Jesus.

     | 4,835 views

    How do we receive God and therefore receive divine love in order that we can love?

    What is divine love? 1 Jo 4:8 …God is love It isn’t that God has love as an attribute, no, God is Himself love. His very nature is love. Who then has this divine love and therefore can divinely love others? Since God is love, whoever has God has love; whoever has more of God has ...read more

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 3,547 views

    How do you respond to the sacrifice of Jesus? Do you ignore him? Do you try to live with him but justify your sin at the same time? Or are you a disciple of Jesus?

    For the last few Sundays we've been walking through the book of First John. We imagined a courtroom scene and the apostle John is on the witness stand under oath. He's the last apostle of Jesus alive and he was the best friend of Jesus, too. He knows Jesus better than anyone, so who better to ...read more

    Discernment is a gift. It gives God’s children the ability to distinguish between what God calls us to and what the world entices us toward.

    1 John 4:1-6 "Testing the Spirits" INTRODUCTION We have come a long way in communication since March 10, 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell spoke into a prototype of the telephone and said, "Mr. Watson, come here.

    One of the basic instructions of Jesus is to love one another. Love is the demonstration that we are in Jesus and Jesus is in us.

    1 John 4:7-21 “The Look of Love” INTRODUCTION I read today’s lesson and I was overwhelmed by the number of times that the word “love” appeared. The Beatles song, “All You Need is Love,” popped into my mind and I wondered if this passage of scripture ...read more

    Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,636 views

    Jesus followers are a weird group of people. We don’t live like other people. We don’t have the same priorities or look at life the same way as everyone else. Genuine love always points people to Jesus Christ.

    Let’s just be real here. Jesus followers are weird people. We’re wacked. We say stuff and do things that most people around us find odd, or even dumb. For example, we look for ways to bless the kind of people that others want to avoid. We want to go to prison and love on inmates. ...read more

    The people of Jesus know how to sacrifice. Genuine followers of Jesus know what it means to be faithful and experience joy in suffering. How about you? Are you weird like that?

    We're in the second week of our series "defining love" last time we talked about how genuine love, God's love, isn't normal. We defined love as faithful and that the result of faithfulness is joy. We talked about how our culture defines love in a million different ways, but, God defines love much ...read more

    We can say we love God if we want to, but, Jesus teaches us that the only way to follow Him, is to love and serve people like He does. Jesus wants people to find Him, to discover His redemption.

    Faith is the foundation of God's message. Hope is the attitude and the focus,. .But love. Love is the action. When faith and hope are in line, you are free to love completely. And through this, we can truly "Seize the Day."
