Lent IV Numbers 21:4-9 “Are we there yet? How much longer?” Anyone who has ever taken a long car journey with children has heard those questions. They are questions that stem from impatience, from boredom, and maybe even a little lack of trust that the driver really knows where they’re going. Now ...read more

Our Abba Daddy Loves Us Series

Contributed by Ed Taylor on Dec 23, 2008

Go wants us to know without any doubts that we are His children and that He loves us.

1. REMEMBER the contrast in this wonderful GOSPEL OF GRACE is between the LAW & FAITH. • How do I relate to God? By faith or fear? RULES, REGULATIONS… RELIGION & RITUALS. • Don’t touch this.

Loving On Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 14, 2011

The old Gospel hymn says "Oh, how I love Jesus", but in John 14 Jesus implies that not everyone who says they love Him actually do. Just because I go to church regularly doesn’t mean I really love Him, so how can I know I really love Jesus like I say I do

OPEN: I love to sing, and one of my favorite Hymns is “Oh How I love Jesus”. Sing it with me now if you would: 1. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth. CHORUS: O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love ...read more

God Loves You – God Values You!

Getting Your Hands Around God’s Love Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 29, 2018

Maybe the reason we love our sin more than we love our God is that we don’t really understand how much our God loves us! Paul describes God's love as wide, long, high, and deep. Each of these words will help us grasp more of God's love for us.

Getting Your Hands Around God’s Love Ephesians 3:14-21 Ever wonder why it’s so hard to live the way you know God wants you to? You have that one little temptation that keeps getting you, no matter how hard you try? You feel like you could have written Romans 7, where Paul says, “I don’t do what I ...read more

I choose not to argue with the words of God found in the Quran, Torah, or Holy Bible because the truth must be spoken whether it offend our sinful souls or not.

I proclaim a much-overlooked truth in this statement. Allah, Jehovah, God, or however you chose to call Him is the the same God. He is the God found in the Torah.

Why is John 3:16 such a powerful verse in Scripture - and what it say about who we are and what God thinks about us?

I once read that the printing press was one of the greatest inventions ever. Up until that time, all books were painstakingly printed by hand - which made books very rare and very hard to find. But the Printing press changed all of that. Information was suddenly made available to 1000s of people. ...read more
