    The love of God is the best known attribute and probably the least understood. And when we grasp the love of God in part, what are we supposed to do next?

    KNOWING THE GOD WHO LOVES YOU Ask anyone what they know of God and you will receive a common answer: God is love. And when I say “ask anyone” I literally mean “anyone.” Do a survey at Portage and Main in Winnipeg and ask people what they think of God and chances are pretty good most people will ...read more

    Preached at Christmas, but good for any occasion. God came the distance to us. He went the distance for us. He is going the distance with us.

    God Will Go the Distance 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10 (NIV) HE CAME THE ...read more

    The Beatles said it best when they sang, “all you need is love” …...and then they broke up. We cannot agape love on our own, we need God to enable us to agape love.

    How can I love? They hurt me. They said this thing that hurt me. I tried to ignore it. I said to myself, “It doesn’t matter, move on, be mature about it, it was just this dumb little thing. But still, I kept thinking about it. I wanted to put it out of my mind, I didn’t want to think about it….but ...read more

    Our love is expressed in generosity. Our generosity ensures that we will more marvelously reflect the God who created us.

    1 John 4:13-21 “A Generous Heart” INTRODUCTION Living a life without limits, and being transformed into that life is all based on love. Without love there is only a shadow of life and certainly no great actions of faith or courage. Unfortunately, love is not as common as we assume it is. It ...read more

    God is Love. But even the wrath of God is an attribute of God as much a part of God as any other attribute, an attribute without which God would be less than God. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Independence Day 1986: Fear leads to oppression, and vice versa. We overcome our fears by discovering the love that empowers us in the sacrificial death of Christ.

    I've noticed that what older people fear is very much like what small children fear. Older people fear going out alone into the darkness; they are afraid they cannot find their way, they are afraid they may have some kind of difficulty and will be vulnerable to people with evil intentions. ...read more
