    I hope you passed last week’s love test. And assuming that you did, let's consider 4 results of loving God that will be evident in our lives.

    Giving as a response to God’s love.

    THE OFFERING TEXT: 1 John 4:7-12; Numbers 18:21-29 You’ve heard it said sometimes that a person “knows just enough to be dangerous.” That doesn’t necessarily mean a person is learning to be violent, it just means that when we know a little bit about something, we might do something we would ...read more

    Perfect Love Drives Out Fear

     | 7,276 views

    When we comprehend God’s perfect love for us, we will live without fear and be moved to keep his commandments for all the right reasons.

    Fear of punishment is a very effective form of motivation. It’s used quite effectively in the military. Soldiers are trained to obey orders. That’s what boot camp is all about. You find out very quickly that you better listen and get it right the first time or you face the wrath of an angry ...read more

    “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit” 1 Jn. 4:12-13.

    Theme: The Holy Spirit, the soul of the Church Text: Acts 1:15-17, 20-26; 1 Jn. 4:11-16; John 17:6-19 The Church is often described in the New Testament using different descriptive images. It is sometimes described as a family and other times as a Kingdom. The only way to become a member of this ...read more

    This sermon is about forgiving our enemies so that we can truly experience love.

    "Forgive Me!" by Rev. A. LaMar Torrence, Pastor of the Cross of Life Lutheran Church Luke 6:27-38, John 15:12, 1 John 4:7-21 Once again I find the words of Maya Angelou appropriately for my initial response to today’s divine edict of loving our enemies.

    Based on an outline by Dan Borchert, this message provides an introduction to God... who He is... what He’s done... and what he’s doing.

    Based on an outline by Dan Borchert What’s the first thing most of us want to know when we meet someone new? It may seem trivial, but the two things that always seem to come up in the first two minutes of a first-time conversation: Who are you? What do you do? How many of you know God? I’m ...read more

     | 9,239 views

    God’s love shown to us in Christ is all we need to soothe our guilty conscience and in turn to find the freedom to forgive others.

    The Fab Four sang about it. In fact their words and music are immortalized on Oldies radio. And rightly so. The Beatles seemed to be on to something. “All you need is love,” they sang. And that appeared to be the right message for a hurt and frightened world. Love is all you need. It’s all ...read more

    A reminder of Jesus' words that we would be known by our love one for another.

    MALICE IN WONDERLAND I found a bizarre article in the newspaper not to long ago. It read… “Jimmy Bivins, a heavyweight title contender during the 1940s, underwent surgery after police found him wasting away in a dark, filthy attic. Bivins, 78 years old, was discovered by police who were ...read more

    Sermon on God’s Love toward us.

    THE LOVE OF GOD I TITUS 3:4 I must admit that I have preached on the subject we will be looking at today on several occasions. But it is a subject that we do well at looking at over and over again. It is obvious from the Bible that we do learn by the three “R’s” Repetition, repetition, ...read more
