    Where Does Love Come From?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,206 views

    If we center ourselves on God, abiding in His giving love, there could be no avenue for the works of the flesh to enter into our lives.

    For this passage of Scripture, we need to understand the four types of love. There is the Agape – unconditional love (Godly), the Philia – beneficial love (brotherly), the Storge – family love, and the Eros – romantic love. In verses 7-8: Everybody accepts that love is significant, yet we ...read more

    Living In God

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 14, 2025
     | 195 views

    Even the most noble and selfless kind of human love is inadequate to define God’s love. Because human love and divine love are different.

    When I was a little girl going to Sunday School, and used to come home with questions, my mother was in kind of a dilemma. You see, she didn’t believe in God. She thought there was a lot of good stuff in the Bible, as long as you left God out of it. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto ...read more

    The Greatest Commandment

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 12, 2025
     | 310 views

    This sermon calls us to love like Jesus by fully loving God and to love others above ourselves. It should move us to use Jesus as the example on how love should be.

    Imagine a world where love was the foundation of every decision, every action, and every interaction. Picture a community where people went out of their way to care for one another…not because they had to, but because they wanted to. Let me share a story to help us see this: There was a young boy ...read more

    Third Rail: Sex Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 524 views

    We don’t talk about sex because it is only a symbol, a surrogate for what we really long for - a deep and unwavering connection of our soul to God’s heart.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex in polite company” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your job.” ...read more

    God's Love

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 13, 2025
     | 245 views

    But, as is usually the case, the Word of God contradicts the word of the world, and tells us that “God is love,” not the other way around.

    God’s Love 1John 4:13-21 I think it’s safe to say that the one thing our world truly needs today is love. Songs are written about it all the time. John Lennon wrote the song “All You Need is Love.” Dionne Warwick made famous the song, “What the Word Needs Now is Love”. And you know what? They’re ...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!

     | 614 views

    There is something that many people should fear, and that is the judgment of God. Scripture tells us that there is a Judgment Day coming. That, for many, should cause them to be afraid if they have any idea what it could mean for them.

    The message examines love as the motive for what we do. The context of the Love Chapter is the operation of the gifts of the Spirit (listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and regulated in 1 Corinthians 14).

    Intro Our text today is found in 1 Corinthians 13. After addressing the nine gifts of the Spirit in the first part of 1 Cor. 12, Paul introduced an analogy of the human body to teach these believers the importance of valuing and caring for one another.
