    The Look Of Love--From Jesus Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 21, 2022
     | 1,070 views

    What did He see in Jesus’s eyes? What attracted him? I think He saw love, because Jesus, whose whole life was an image of the Trinitarian love, pierced his soul with love.

    Monday of 4th week in Course This Gospel brings to mind a letter of Pope Benedict, “Deus est caritas,” or “God is love.” If we look at the story of Jesus and this Gadarene madman, we are struck by the question, “why did Jesus bother with this guy?” He lived in a graveyard, he stank of dead flesh ...read more

    Breaking Free From Fear

    Fear, especially the fear of death, can turn us into slaves living in bondage. The devil uses fear to rob us of our freedom and abundant life. He uses fear to seize us, take hold of us, and suck the life right out of us! But the Son sets us free!

    In John 8:36 we read, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” We all desire abundant life, but if we are held in bondage then we are not experiencing true life; and one major thing that holds us captive is “fear.” Frank Herbert, in his Dune Chronicles, says that the “fear ...read more

     | 1,042 views

    Paul’s life was like ours in that he had two kinds of friends.

    (1) HE HAD HIS SUNSHINE FRIENDS One of the sunshine friends was Demas. When things were going great, Demas was there, but when things got rough, Demas got going! Look at 2 Timothy 4:3, we read, “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians #6

     | 1,406 views

    In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

    A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

    This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before.
