    A disciple is one who loves like Jesus loves.

    A group of guys went overseas and hired a local boy to cook and clean for them. Being a bunch of jokesters, they quickly took advantage of his seeming naiveté. They smeared Vaseline on the stove handles, put buckets of water over the door, and nailed his shoes to the floor during the night. ...read more

    We can either spend our lives focused on the problems of life, or we can spend our time focusing on the Problem Solver. We can focus on what is wrong, or we can focus on the One who can make it right. Let's look at a Deacon and the legacy of love that he has left for us to remember.

    Acts 7:54-60 “Love like Jesus Loves” May 29, 2022 Intro: Beginning at Acts 6:8 through the close of this chapter, Luke records the ministry and martyr of Deacon Stephen. Stephen was one of the seven men chosen to be the first Deacons of the early church. He was a man filled with the ...read more

    In the crazy times we are living in 2020, this sermon is to remind us to remember who we are and whose we are. Love God and Love people should be our mantra.

    Love God, Love People Mark 12:28-31 Intro As the craziness continues to unfold - it is important that we don’t allow the world to define who we are or what we stand for I talked about taking a stand last week - and that’s what we need to do - but I want to follow that up with ensuring we know ...read more

    Of the four types of love, only one can be chosen -- Agape. God did this intentionally because Agape is the most powerful, and echoes the love He has for us.

    Last week we began our series on the L Word with lust, as an example of what love is not. That means that tonight we will begin to learn about what love is. But which love are we talking about? If that question doesn’t make sense, don’t worry -- you’re not alone. We only have one ...read more

    Love As I Have Loved

    People don’t naturally love with a 1 Corinthians 13 type love. To love like that, there must be a line of demarcation, a transition from casual to serious, there must be change of heart, you must be Born-Again. Love can transcend these artificial barriers that keep us separated from one another.

    Love as I have Loved By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - John 13:31-35 “Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify ...read more

    The secret to loving is first receiving God’s love, knowing you are greatly loved, and quit focusing on people and start focusing on what God has done.

    We are taught to love others. This is what God command, that we love one another. But how can we? How can we be kind to those who harm us? To those who are unkind to us? How can we forgive those who backstab us? How can we love the way Jesus loves? We want to. We long to. But how can ...read more

    "Love One Another" is repeated again and again throughout the pages of the New Testament. Why dwell so heavily on this command when it would seem there is so much more to learn about God?

    OPEN: "That’s marvelous, having a lion and monkey in the same cage," said the visitor to a small zoo. "How do they get along?" "Okay, usually," answered the zookeeper. "Occasionally they have a disagreement, and we have to get a new monkey." APPLY: Now, why do they need to get a new monkey? ...read more
