Love Like Jesus

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Aug 29, 2024

"Let brotherly love continue" is the command in Hebrews 13, but "continuing" springs forth from remembering where it came from. It came from Jesus. We live Him because He first loved us. How do we "keep Jesus love flowing and moving in our life? Hebrews 13 tells us.

Let me ask you a question today: “Was Hitler a believer?” The answer is simple. Yes, but a believer in what? He was a believer in a godless society.

Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection.

Bethel: "o Altar, Altar!"

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 25, 2020

This may be the only sermon preached against an altar! When God's prophet came to Bethel, some interesting things happened. Something even happened to the altar itself.

This is especially true in the Old Testament: the prophets spoke about (and against) various kings, nations, and even the nations of Israel and Judah.
