The fifth sermon of a post-Easter series on Love.

(Slide 1) It was a conversation that has stuck with me over the years. I was not a part of the conversation, per se, but I was a part of the audience that listened.

Do you have a spirit of contagion?

I was confused the other day. I was listening to this song from Ron Isley, Chante Moore, and R. Kelly entitled “Contagious.” The premise of the video is that Ron Isley plays this rough, Godfather type named Mr. Big who is in a relationship with Chante Moore’s character. He comes home one ...read more

Self Service Series

based on 4 ratings

| 5,064 views

As Christians we desire to do things for the Lord. But sometimes we are really just doing them for ourselves. Learn how to spot self service and your attitudes while serving.

Most Christians understand that belonging to the Lord means we serve Him and will do things that He tells us to do. We like to think that we do it because we are so thankful for what He has done, or because Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel and make disciples or because we see the example of ...read more

Celebrating In The Losers Cirlce Series

Contributed by Tim George on Mar 17, 2001

based on 99 ratings

| 4,559 views

James tells us the story of a rich man and a poor man who came to church one day. One appeared to be a winner – the other a loser. How should a group of losers who have been made winners by Christ treat such people?

No body likes a loser. Have you ever seen a losers circle at the racetrack? When is the last time you saw the runner-up on a box of Wheaties? People generally think little of losers. That makes it all the more hurtful to some when someone like Ted Turner is quoted as saying, “Christianity is for ...read more

Forgiveness- What Do We Carry And What Do We Let Go?

Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001

based on 46 ratings

| 2,935 views

Forgiveness is not about accepting that something wrong is somehow right, or trying to forget it: a prayerful reflection on Matthew 18.

Today I would like to say a few words about things in our lives that we carry and things that we let go. I find today’s Gospel reading one of the most challenging in the Bible. With any apology, Jesus talks quite bluntly about the forgiveness God offers to us, and the expectation God has of us, as ...read more
