    As dear children, how do we perfect or develop God’s love if we do not know the true sense or meaning of love. This is our task today; to know what is true love, who is love, and why should we develop love in our heart and in our conduct.

    Elder M. Edmunds Co-Pastor of United Ordained Church February 2003 “Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children: And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.” Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by ...read more

    based on 42 ratings
     | 13,120 views

    Jesus said that many will travel the broad gate to destruction ... but few will enter the narrow gate to Heaven. This message deals with the broad and narrow way.

    “The Narrow-Gated Way” Luke 13:22-30 & Matthew 7:13-14 INTRODUCTION: Read Luke 13:22-30. 13:22 – What had Jesus been teaching? 13:3,5 They thought this was pretty harsh preaching.

    Our walk with Christ is necessary to any and all work for Christ. God’s not called us to find fulfillment in the quantity of our work for Him but in the quality of our walk with Him. What does it mean to walk with Christ?

    WALKING WITH CHRIST REVELATION 3:1-6 INTRODUCTION: In writing to the churches in Asia Minor, Christ censured the church at Sardis for failure to walk with Him. Christ found their works imperfect and their spiritual life for all intent and purpose dead. Our walk with Christ is the necessary ...read more

     | 6,436 views

    This is the second part of a two-part message. The two things needed to reach the lost is (1) compassion, and (2) persistent effort. We cannot remain passive and expect the lost to return. We need to make connections with the lost constantly.

    The sinners flock to Jesus, not because He preaches a compromising message but for the way they were treated – Jesus loves them. • The first thing needed for reaching the lost is compassion. • We need to show more compassion to those we need to bring to Christ. • Love makes the different. It ...read more
