    It is the most overwhelming thing I have ever encountered in my life. It is the greatest thing God ever did for any of us! The reason I can say that is this, because He loved us, He was moved to do everything else that He has done.

    Love No Matter What Youth Sermon

    Main Idea: We can love others no matter what because we have an endless source of love within us, the Holy Spirit. God is love. Love is always the right response. And we will be a church who loves others no matter what.

    John, one of Jesus' best buds, tells us that God is love. It's not just something He does, it's who He is. Everything God does is because He loves us. And guess what? He loves us no matter what, and He loves everyone else too. God is love. It's not just something He does, it's who He is. John wants ...read more

    Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth!

    Thunder and Love part 2 – John the Apostle of love! Scripture: 1 John 4:7-21: 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

    All God’s activity is loving activity. If He creates, He creates in love; if He rules, He rules in love; if He judges, He judges in love! He cannot change: for God is love! If we live in love we live in God. This is the Royal Law!

    1 John 4:15-19 (NKJV) “The Royal Law of Love” February 4, 2024 The Apostle John wrote in verse 10, “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” The fact that Christ has borne all sin renders God propitious.
