Love Series

Contributed by Suresh Murugesan on Mar 23, 2020

When we see speaking of love , since we are In Ministry, we very easily understand that our intention is to speak Godly love , which denotes in Greek AGA’PE’. Which is translated as GODS love.

Growth And Love

Contributed by Chidi Ejeagba on Jan 23, 2021

There is a very powerful relationship between growth and love. Without growth, it will be impossible to share love. A full grown love must be shared.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr once said, and I quote: "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love. And when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world, for love is the only way." Now we are in the rainy season, and the rains have started, everything has ...read more

Valentine's Day 2021

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 13, 2021

This message is about love - not how the love the is generally expressed on Valentine's Day, but how it should be lived daily in the lives of Christians. If we love the way we are commanded to, the purchasing of a gift would never be needed to prove our love - it would be a bonus.

The Greatest Commandment Of The Bridegroom King

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 18, 2021

Within the religions of the world, it is not uncommon to hear that the greatest thing to obtain is faith. Yet, the Great Commandment given by God in the Bible was not to have faith but rather, to love Him

"You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." (Matt 22:37-39 NLT) Faith - in and of itself - is useless unless it is energized by God's love. This love command is the foundation of the ...read more

God Is Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The implications of these three words are so vast that one message on them is like trying to harvest a million acres of corn with a comb. There is no way to get all of the infinite riches they contain, but we will at least get a taste of what this love is

Tolstoy wrote a story called "Where Love Is, God Is." It is about an old cobbler named Martin who lived alone. One night as he read the story of Jesus visiting the Pharisee, and the poor welcome he received, he prayed that the Lord would visit him. In his sleep he heard a voice saying, ...read more

Love That's Out Of This World

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2019

Our world is really into lust, not love. God's kind of love is all about giving, doing what is best for the other person. Jesus is the best model of that. And God is the very definition of it. God's love can flow through us to a needy world.

Love That’s Out of this World 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 February 10, 2019 [Please contact me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com for sermon outline in Word.] Have you ever been around someone who is obviously brilliant, magnificently gifted, and just a pain in the neck to get along with?

Loving Love

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 20, 2019

God’s love is so misunderstood. This message looks at a prophecy delivered in 2008 about what God’s love means.

God is good. All the time. To me. Say it again. God is good. All the time. To me! Praise the Lord! A couple of weeks ago I was reading through some of the prophecies that have come forth here in this church. I came across one from 2008 that’s titled “Love, Repentance, and Judgment.” As I started ...read more

The Meaning Of True Love.

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Feb 23, 2019

Human beings define love as an affection (feeling) towards another, but that’s a wrong definition

Human beings define love as an affection (feeling) towards another, but that’s a wrong definition. The best place to find the right definition of love is from love himself. 1 John 4:8 says, God is love and love (God) defined himself as a commandment.

God's Love Is The Key

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 9, 2019

What makes Christianity completely different and unique from all the other religions in the world is ‘love’ because it is the only religion where Jesus Christ, who is love Himself, comes to dwell within each willing heart when invited to.

I am firmly convinced that every human being has an unquenchable longing for love, and to love and be loved, because God is love (1 John 4:8). The love a person feels for another is just a minute shadow of God’s love for EVERYONE! Jesus Christ is the very definition of love itself and the empirical ...read more
