    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. I want to see you." It is now common to have the television on while browsing ...read more

    Defining Love - Genuine Love Isn't Normal Series

     | 5,759 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

     | 4,934 views

    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.

    When I was a kid my parents were missionaries in the Philippines. We lived there for three years, two in one house and one in another outside of Cebu City.

    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."

    Paul shares this hope in Christ to the Colossians ... and to all that call themselves followers of the Christ. Hear Paul's prayer: BIBLE ".... that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, ....to please Him in all respects, .... bearing fruit in every good work ....and increasing in the ...read more

    Will the Real Holy Spirit Please Stand Up? I John 4:1-6 Introduction We have seen that sound doctrine and sound love are both essential to the Christian faith and must be held together and not against each other. Living in love and living the truth of the gospel are what gives us assurance that ...read more

    When it comes to love, God has set a high bar, Himself.

    We Must Love as God Loves I John 4:7-15 Introduction Last week, we were asked to test the spirits. This is because not every spiritual event comes from the Holy Spirit.

    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,

    Love is something we could never do without help from someone who is really good at it. Because of God’s love for each of us, we have the ability to love God and others.

    Able to Love 1 John 4:7-21 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 19, 2014
     | 5,209 views

    We need to perceive what true love is and then live it out in our lives. When we do this we encounter God and please God. We also see lives transformed and changed!

    Theme first ¼ - True Life Thesis: True life – a life that matters for eternity and pleases God is one which is based and rooted in truth. Jesus said he is the “Truth.” He is God’s truth to this world and all measurement of true and false are measured against Him and His ...read more

    That's what we are..When we display our so called righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Nobody, except for God, could still love us..in that condition because His Love isn’t based on Anything to do with us at all..
