A Boy Named Jesus

Contributed by Carl Greene on Dec 31, 2007

This message deals with the significance of Jesus’ name(s). The focus is about "God with us" vs God "is" with us. The importance of having God "within" us, guiding, comforting, encouraging, loving. Not alongside us, but "with" us.

I just love a good country song that proclaims: “I don’t love you anymore, trouble is, I don’t love you any less!” There are even some truly classic country Christmas songs such as Momma got run (or run-ed’) over by a reindeer! I always had a fondness ...read more

Is It Enough Just To Love God

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013

Is it enough just to love God? By that we mean, it is enough to be well pleasing to God to simply love Him? Some Christians would say yes, others no, but what does God's word say? That is the focus of this lesson.

Last week I asked a dozen people this simple question, “Is it enough just to love God?” Only two people said “yes it was enough just to love God,” while the other ten emphatically said, “no it’s not, we have to obey Him.” So what is the answer? Is it enough ...read more
