The Meaning Of Love

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 8, 2001

Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more

Loving The Uncertain

Contributed by Troy Borst on Apr 17, 2014

LOVING THE UNCERTAIN LUKE 7:17-23 INTRODUCTION… “We Understand So Little” Book of Virtues pages 774-775 Once there were two young brothers who had spent all their lives in the city, and had never even seen a field or pasture. So one day they decided to take a trip into the ...read more

Born To Love

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 8, 2018

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the capacity to love in the very same way God loves. But so many Christians don't understand what it means to love like God loves.

John 3:16 is a verse we learn very, very early in life, even before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My Mom and Dad, and I’m sure your Mom and Dad too, repeated this verse to us as children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ...read more

Walking In Love Series

Contributed by Michael Taber on Feb 9, 2021

A series of messages that suggest that walking with the Lord daily is as easy as Peter's walking on the water. If we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus we will be able to carry out the commands to walk found in Ephesians 4-6.

Here this morning we are moving our message series from Sunday nights to Sunday morning. Because I believe that this mini-series is one that our entire church needs to grapple with and I am praying that this concept will grip your heart. That when God calls you and I to walk in love, to walk in ...read more

Admitting Our Blindness In Human Development Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 14, 2009

Jesus can act as Messiah when He is approached by humans who admit their blindness, weakness and sin; so we must admit decades of blindness in our human development policies.

November 16, 2009 Caritas in Veritate “Deeds without knowledge are blind, and knowledge without love is sterile.” As Luke portrays Jesus making his pilgrimage to the Holy City whose inhabitants will murder him, He finally responds to one who is publicly calling him The Messiah–Son of David.
