    The Joy Of Love Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 12, 2016
     | 9,299 views

    Do you want to find joy in your relationships? It starts when you open up your heart to receive God’s love for yourself. Then, in the context of that grace and love, feel the same; think the same; and do the same, promoting others above yourself.

    A couple had been married for 60 years, and throughout their life they had shared everything. They loved each other deeply. They had not kept any secrets from one another, except for a small shoe box that the wife kept in the top shelf of her closet. When they got married, she put the box there and ...read more

    Son Sets You Free Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 5, 2022
     | 2,020 views

    True freedom does not consist in the word “freedom,” but in relationship to Jesus Christ, through abiding in His Word, and being His disciple. We will meditate from this passage on three realities. Admit who you are, admire who Jesus is, and advocate what Jesus does.

    Text: John 8:31-41 Theme: Son Sets You Free Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. For the first time, John puts the word freedom for salvation. But the teaching on freedom offended Jesus’ hearers, they thought they have always enjoyed freedom though they lived under Roman ...read more

    So many relationships are broken or splintered because of un-forgiveness. God’s mandate for His children is that we should love and forgive others the way He loves and forgives us. This love and forgiveness was perfectly exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and even at the point of death.

    Jesus said in Luke 6:32, "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! (GNT) As we continue to meditate on the questions that Jesus asked, we find these questions are relevant and life-giving even today. Most of us in ...read more

    In today's world, so many are left feeling empty and unfulfilled by the shallow versions of love society offers.

Philemon 4-9 Introduction: v.9 – Underline 3 words: “For Love’s Sake!” Illust: Psychologists claim that the three greatest needs of a human being are… 1) The need to be wanted. 2) The need to be needed. 3) The need to be loved. ?

    The world sees Jesus as a good teacher, but someone who has little call on anyone’s life. There is no personal cost to this Jesus, no relationship. He often is only a genie that they demand when things go wrong. Our question is, "Who is my Jesus?"

    WHICH JESUS DO YOU HAVE? John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Let us look at some different views of Jesus and see how our view fits. 1. THE WORLD The world sees Jesus as a good teacher and a good example based ...read more
