    The Unity Of Love

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023
     | 1,789 views

    Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

    The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,286 views

    There are serious consequences for breaking the third commandment and taking God’s name in vain. Why are we held guilty if we take His name in vain? What acts do we commit that amount to taking His name in vain?

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,911 views

    The Ten Commandments tell us that we should not commit murder. There is a difference between killing and murder. We are watching the death of democracy in America. The womb of the mother should be a sanctuary of hope, not a death chamber. This is the law of God, and it does not change.

    Turn in your Bibles to Exodus 20:13, as we continue our sermon series on the Ten Commandments with this simple statement, "Thou shall do no murder". Say that with me. "Thou shall do no murder". I doubt there are any gangsters or professional hitmen reading this right now. Yet ...read more
