    Labor Of Love

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 21, 2023
     | 1,185 views

    Whenever and wherever we are doing God’s work, we are on holy ground. Wherever we find ourselves, we can make it holy by being God’s representative in that place.

    I know this isn’t Labor Day weekend. But it’s too important a topic to skip. It’s big in the news these days, what with unemployment still above 6%. We all know people who are looking for work - and have been for more than 6 months. But hey - work isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, right? How many ...read more

    "To Be Loved”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on May 11, 2023
     | 1,528 views

    We need love. Love is an emotional bond that makes us feel safe, understood, and valued. That is what our mothers have done for us. It is what God has done for us through Jesus. If we keep, if we practice the teachings of Jesus it demonstrates our love for Him.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 14, 2023 Text: John 14:15 Easter VI Redeemer “To Be Loved” Last Sunday I suggested that as we read chapters 13-17 in John we should try imagine ourselves in the Upper Room ...read more

    The Unity Of Love

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023
     | 1,905 views

    Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

    The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more

    Ladies, do you remember when your husband asked for your hand in marriage; the day you became engaged? You either were scared or excited; most likely filled with joy and gladness.

    Ladies, do you remember when your husband asked for your hand in marriage; the day you became engaged? You either were scared or excited; filled with joy and gladness. Did you feel no one would ask for you to marry them? Did you feel as an outcast by so many in this world? Did you begin to wonder ...read more

    To be on the mission of mercy is to love being merciful. Some key ideas that come to mind when I think about this...

    THE MISSION OF MERCY Introduction Back in March I sent an email to our elders that has remained on my mind ever since. In part, it read: "I've been contemplating what Forsythe has become over the past couple of years. Our church has really embraced a mission of mercy to the hurting ...read more

    Love For The Undeserving Series

     | 7,624 views

    Why on earth would God have Hosea marry a prostitute? Was it merely a parable or a dream we're being told about? Or was this a real life harlot who God used for a lesson for Israel?

    In 1990, there was a romantic comedy that hit big screen called “Pretty Woman”. It was marketed as a modern update of the story of Cinderella. Richard Gere played an unscrupulous businessman who was on a business trip and - on a lark - he picks up a hooker – played by Julia Roberts. As the ...read more

     | 2,221 views

    To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

    What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

    Only the Lord’s love is perfect, unlimited, and eternal and only through His Word and His Spirit can we begin to comprehend the immensity and the intensity of this love.

    Last Sunday, we shared from John 15 where Jesus was speaking about His identity as the true vine, the source of new life. Jesus was actually comparing Himself as the true vine to the false vine - the nation of Israel who produced bad fruit. Those who derived their lives from the old and saw ...read more

    For the love of family, the children in our lives need our unconditional, steadfast love. We need to learn some Biblical ways to show that love each day.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Do As We Say - The Skit Guys Well that’s certainly one way to raise children, isn’t it. I wouldn’t say it is a very effective way. Solomon also had some ideas about raising children. I love the way that the Living Bible shares this passage from Proverbs ...read more

    4 essential truths about the afterlife (Material adapted from a Bible study from Insight for Living, Chuck Swindoll)

    This is a complex question. What about this teaching that brothers must marry their brother’s widow? This is the concept of the kinsman redeemer. “If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother shall take her ...read more

     | 1,525 views

    This is the third sermon I preached in this series. We find a challenge issued by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle John which helps us see how to fulfill the Great Commandments “Love God and Love Others” and the Great Commission.

    Text: 1 John 4:1-11 (1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

    It's one thing to know what love is, and to be commanded to practice love; it's another to be committed to love!

    Text: John 14:1-18 (1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
