    This week we celebrated Valentine’s Day. It is a day of celebration of Love. God showed us His love that day on a hill called Calvary.

    God’s Valentine to Us 1JN 3:1 how great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been ...read more

    Victory in Jesus comes when Christians have a balance between sound doctrine and holy living. It matters what we believe and teach we cannot be victorious if we adulterate the word of God. Moreover, we can know, believe and teach sound doctrine, yet, if

    True Love Shows 1 John 3:11—18 INTRODUCTION In the very beginning of his epistle, John, encourages Christians to remember the sound doctrine preached to them "from the beginning."

    This is about God’s true love for us.

    “Love” is a word that is thrown around more than a football at the Super Bowl. Everyone talks about love. I love this. I love that. I love your hair. I love that shirt. I love this team or that team. I love summer. I love Christmas. “I love you. You love me. We’re a happy family.” ...read more

    God demonstrated His love for us on purpose. Can can we in turn love Him and others on purpose?

    Loving on Purpose December 22, 2002 As we continue our series of “living on purpose”, today’s topic is “loving on purpose”. We’ll be focusing on a verse that is well known to most of us.

    The love that Christians hold for one another and their self-sacrifice is evidence that they have been transformed from life that ends in death to eternal life with the Father.

    I JOHN 3:13-24 PASSPORT TO LIFE There are some powerful and surprising statements in I John 3 ". . . we know we have passed from death to life because we love the brothers. The man who does not love is among the living dead." Christians gather in churches for many reasons, but chief ...read more

    First of a series based on the Johannine letters: our response to overwhelming need is first of all a discovery of who we are; then a commitment to maximum effort; and finally a discovery of where our passion lies. This will energize us.

    I invite you today on an imaginary trip. Let’s walk through just one day in a needy world. Just imagine a few hours in a world that asks us for more than we can possibly give: You are awakened early by the phone’s insistent ringing; you hear the voice of a member of your family.

    So how do we rightly relate to one another in our small groups? I have found there is no reason to "reinvent the wheel" in responding to this question. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his classic work, Life Together, explains 7 ways to serve your small group.

    Last week, I used an illustration to show that Jesus should be the center of our small group meetings. He is the real leader of the small group. He is alive. He comes to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. And he is Lord. But lying underneath this goal of our gathering is the reality that we ...read more

    Origianlly used for a morning worship service, most recently used at a funeral for a 23yr old lady who died of cancer...easily adaptable for any regualr service or funeral service.

    What comes to your mind when I say "NEW"? What do you think of? I believe I would have to say that I think of Christmas. At Christmas, we get those "new" things. You may have thought of a new car or new house…maybe a new suit of clothes or a new baby even. But when you really stop to think ...read more

    I was asked to share my feelings about suicide by the husband, who had been hurt many years earlier by some inappropriate comments by a pastor upon the suicide death of his friend.

    “My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.
