"a Love Letter From Jesus."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Feb 13, 2023

The book of Philemon portrays the love of God through the relationship between Paul and a runaway slave named Onesimus. Similarly, Christ's love for his church is evident in his prayer in the garden where he asked God to receive his church the way he would receive him.

SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Philemon 1:10-16) (10) "I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:" (11) "Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:" (12) ...read more

By show of hands this morning, let’s see how many of you remember these catch phrases from your childhood (my guess is that you responded to these, like I did, with an exaggerated eye roll but now you say some of them yourself): • Money doesn’t grow on trees. • Were you born in a barn? • They sure ...read more

How Jesus Prays For You (John 17:1-26) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 29, 2022

What's important to Jesus? What does he want for us? Also, Jesus here passes the baton to his Father. His job is done, and the Father must complete it.

Let's start this morning by reading John 13:1-5 (NRSV), and remind ourselves of where we are in the gospel of John: Now, before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved ...read more

Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022

On the last night of Jesus' life before going to the cross, He spent time with the Father in prayer, serving as our great High Priest making intercession with God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 3:1, 6:20). This "high priestly" prayer warrants our attention.

So far in John's gospel, we have encountered glorious portraits of the life, work, and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ that give "many convincing proofs" (Acts 1:3) of HIs divinity and godly authority which no one else can ever claim. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more

The Prayer Of Love Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021

John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” A 5 year old boy – “Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me ...read more
