    What Is Love?

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Aug 2, 2022
     | 1,520 views

    You could get hundreds of answers to this question. The true answer is found in God. God so loved the world.

    The greatest love ever expressed was the love shown to a Christ denying world when Christ died upon the cross for the sins of all mankind. Love was manifest at Calvary. Many Christian people are not really sure God loves them, even after he has saved us. Sometimes because of the trying ...read more

    Walk In Love Series

     | 971 views

    John loves the church in truth. They all know the truth. It is all because of the truth that lives in us. Grace of God is with us in truth. Everything is based on the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    The book of 2 John, a short letter, is written by John the beloved disciple. He was the closest person to Jesus during his earthly ministry. John was key in the growth of the early church. He was in and out of prison for sixty years following the death of Jesus. When John wrote this letter he was, ...read more

    "To Be Loved”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on May 11, 2023
     | 1,526 views

    We need love. Love is an emotional bond that makes us feel safe, understood, and valued. That is what our mothers have done for us. It is what God has done for us through Jesus. If we keep, if we practice the teachings of Jesus it demonstrates our love for Him.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 14, 2023 Text: John 14:15 Easter VI Redeemer “To Be Loved” Last Sunday I suggested that as we read chapters 13-17 in John we should try imagine ourselves in the Upper Room ...read more

    The Unity Of Love

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023
     | 1,901 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

    Ladies, do you remember when your husband asked for your hand in marriage; the day you became engaged? You either were scared or excited; most likely filled with joy and gladness.

    Ladies, do you remember when your husband asked for your hand in marriage; the day you became engaged? You either were scared or excited; filled with joy and gladness. Did you feel no one would ask for you to marry them? Did you feel as an outcast by so many in this world? Did you begin to wonder ...read more

    To be on the mission of mercy is to love being merciful. Some key ideas that come to mind when I think about this...

    THE MISSION OF MERCY Introduction Back in March I sent an email to our elders that has remained on my mind ever since. In part, it read: "I've been contemplating what Forsythe has become over the past couple of years. Our church has really embraced a mission of mercy to the hurting ...read more

    Love And Hate Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 6, 2023
     | 2,286 views

    In Mark 14, Mark places the themes of love and hate alongside each other to create a sharp contrast. The hatred of the Jewish leaders, is followed by Mary’s loving act, which is followed by Judas’ betrayal. These stories challenge us to examine our feelings and actions toward Jesus.

    Introduction A. I heard the true story of a woman who took a number of children to see a movie. 1. Before going into the seating area, they stopped at the concession stand and the woman offered to buy popcorn for the children to share. 2. One of the children objected declaring, “I hate ...read more

    Love For The Undeserving Series

     | 7,600 views

    Why on earth would God have Hosea marry a prostitute? Was it merely a parable or a dream we're being told about? Or was this a real life harlot who God used for a lesson for Israel?

    In 1990, there was a romantic comedy that hit big screen called “Pretty Woman”. It was marketed as a modern update of the story of Cinderella. Richard Gere played an unscrupulous businessman who was on a business trip and - on a lark - he picks up a hooker – played by Julia Roberts. As the ...read more

     | 2,221 views

    To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

    What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

    Only the Lord’s love is perfect, unlimited, and eternal and only through His Word and His Spirit can we begin to comprehend the immensity and the intensity of this love.

    Last Sunday, we shared from John 15 where Jesus was speaking about His identity as the true vine, the source of new life. Jesus was actually comparing Himself as the true vine to the false vine - the nation of Israel who produced bad fruit. Those who derived their lives from the old and saw ...read more

    For the love of family, the children in our lives need our unconditional, steadfast love. We need to learn some Biblical ways to show that love each day.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Do As We Say - The Skit Guys Well that’s certainly one way to raise children, isn’t it. I wouldn’t say it is a very effective way. Solomon also had some ideas about raising children. I love the way that the Living Bible shares this passage from Proverbs ...read more

    4 essential truths about the afterlife (Material adapted from a Bible study from Insight for Living, Chuck Swindoll)

    This is a complex question. What about this teaching that brothers must marry their brother’s widow? This is the concept of the kinsman redeemer. “If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother shall take her ...read more
