    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 14,155 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    What we know about human fathers and what we have experienced as children will affect how eagerly or apprehensively that we approach the concept of the Fatherhood of God. If we had a great human father we gladly embrace the biblical picture of God as our heavenly father.

    How to receive the presence and blessing of God in your life

    How shall the ark of God come to me? Greater than Shakespeare’s probing the human experience with the question, "to be or not to be?"
