The Greatest Love

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 15, 2023

Human love comes in many forms. Human love is also flawed because with it comes conditions and limitations. God's love though is divine, selfless, unconditional and flawless. There's no other love that even remotely comes close to the love that God has for us.

The Bible says in 1 John 4:7-16 NIV Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 20, 2024

This simple plain teaching of Jesus was too much to bear. Rather than change their minds, they walk away. This is the fundamental reason people reject Jesus Christ: He doesn't coordinate with their own selfish interests.

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard Scripture - John 6:66-69 “At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more

A Surrendered Life

Contributed by Joel Bernardino on Oct 31, 2025

Today, we will learn what it truly means to surrender our lives to God. This is what the Lord desires from us — not our possessions, not our performance, but our whole selves, fully offered to Him.
