How Love Looks Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jan 27, 2020

This is the 32nd sermon from a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at how Jesus delayed his coming to Mary and Martha after Lazarus' death, and why He did that. As well as why it's so important to know Jesus, rather than just know about Him.

Love Your Enemies

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 7, 2022

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.

True, some of the Ultra-Orthodox may not think kindly of us, but other Jews see us as ...read more
