    True Christian living finds its meaning and endurance in love; without love, our actions and gifts are empty, but with it, everything gains lasting value.

    Good morning, friends. If you came in today weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re not alone. Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty? Why does my ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 16, 2023
     | 2,117 views

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus clarifies what the most important command is. It is to love God and to love others. Wholeheartedly loving God means that we love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. That kind of love is illustrated in the widow's gift.

    A. Knowing what the most important rules are in any given context is very helpful. 1. What are the most important rules for the classroom? a. Listen carefully. d.

    Today I would like to take you to another event that took place during Jesus' time and connect it with a similar event that took place earlier in Jesus’ ministry on earth.

    To help the church rediscover the simple, uncluttered love of God revealed in Christ and respond by loving others intentionally.

    December gets messy, yeah? People say Christmas is the “season of love,” but sometimes it feels like the season of short tempers, long lines, and people losing their salvation in the Target parking lot.

    Paul’s Prescription For Christian Love And Unity

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 5, 2015
     | 7,824 views

    When we focus our attention on Jesus’ humble sacrifice, we see human pride and sin. It’s only when we depend on God that we receive salvation. God calls us to humility each and every day.

    Have you ever faced opposition while on your Christian walk of faith? If so, you’re not alone. Opposition to the Christian way of doing things has existed since Christianity began. In the passage from Philippians 2:1-13, Paul is trying to deal with a rift that has occurred within the church ...read more

Here are three facts about Valentine's Day: • One hundred forty-four million greeting cards are sent every year. • Americans spent $20.7 billion in 2019 on Valentine's Day. • 7 in 10 people in ...read more

    God is Love. But even the wrath of God is an attribute of God as much a part of God as any other attribute, an attribute without which God would be less than God. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.
