    Love is the defining characteristic of a follower of Christ. But what does biblical love truly look like? How do we love in a way that reflects Christ’s love?

Jesus said in John 13:35 (NLT), “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” But what does biblical love truly look like?

    Love Your Enemies

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 7, 2022
     | 2,161 views

    Christ said to love your enemies. That takes His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit to do because it is not in our nature.

    It is easy to see that Christians are surrounded by enemies on nearly every side. The irony is that while so-called Christians persecuted the Jews for centuries it is the Israelis who are our biggest friends. True, some of the Ultra-Orthodox may not think kindly of us, but other Jews see us as ...read more

    Forgiveness is not a feeling but a decision to mirror the Father’s heart—releasing anger, restoring love, and joining heaven’s celebration

    Introduction If you’ve ever had someone walk out of your life—slam the door, burn the bridge, and disappear—you know something about the ache of the father in Jesus’ story. And if you’ve ever been hurt and felt that hot rush of anger rise inside you when the offender suddenly wanted back in, ...read more

    Many people come to church unable to worshp freely because they are busy nursing wounds and hurts from the past. The only remedy for freedom is forgiveness.

    "To err is human, to forgive is divine," Alexander Pope. Being divine, Jesus displayed His forgiving heart. He can enable us to have a forgiving heart, just like His.

    A. The story is told of a man who stood watching an old farmer plowing with his mule. 1. After a while, the stranger said to the farmer, “I don’t like to tell you how to do your job, but you could save yourself a lot of work by saying, ‘Gee’ and ‘Haw’ to that ...read more

    The Power Of Forgivness Series

    One of the things I love about this prayer is that it doesn’t pretend there aren’t real problems around us. It confronts the real needs in the world – pain and hunger. The Lord’s Prayer is designed to change our priorities and to reverse our thinking.

    This is the fourth message for us to look at the Lord’s Prayer. And it’s the richest single source in the entire Bible of information on how to pray. One story stands out about the importance of the Lord’s Prayer in the life of a Christian is from a gentleman who attends at NRH, Mike O’Neil. Mike ...read more

    If you are a genuine Christian, you will be both willing and able to forgive others. According to Jesus, when you say, “I cannot or will not forgive,” you’re essentially saying, “I am thinking about going to hell.”

    We are in the last installment of a sermon series entitled Digging Deeper. Our goal is to answer this question: WHAT makes Christianity more “sticky” in some? What is the PROOF that determines if a person truly follows Christ? Or, What makes a Christian a Christian? We lose a lot of items in ...read more

    The sermon urges believers to let go of bitterness and embrace kindness and forgiveness, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform hearts and relationships through Christlike love.

    Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair in your heart and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in with a smile on our face and a storm in our soul. Honest hearts would admit it: bitterness can linger like smoke after a kitchen fire. Wrath can simmer, anger can echo, and harsh words can hang in the air ...read more
