     | 3,138 views

    What God wants is for our lives to be fruitful in unity and the love that He gave and gives to us so that we might allow others to experience God’s life transforming love.

    THAT THEY MAY BE ONE Text : John 17:1 - 11 Someone (William Arnot) once made a wonderful point about God’s design in how we work as His creation: “He gives what he demands, and demands what he gives. The same master both gives the talents and requires an account ...read more

    In this message we will talk about the two connections that everyone one of us were made for... connecting to God and connecting to one another.

    Did Jesus Completely Empty Himself Of His Divinity To Become Human?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 7, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,236 views

    There is a growing belief in the Church that Jesus completely emptied Himself of His divinity in order to become human so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for all humanity, which is why He attributed all of His works and doctrines to the Father.

    "Jesus emptied Himself of His glory, taking the nature of a bondservant, and came in the likeness of men" (Phil 2:7). There is a growing belief in the Church that Jesus completely emptied Himself of His divinity and/or attributes in order to become human so that He could be the perfect ...read more

    The Prayer Of Love Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,108 views

    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

    The true meaning of eternal life is knowing and treasuring God, understanding its source in Jesus Christ, and recognizing the purpose of this gift; to glorify God and unite us with Him.

    James focuses on the leaders of the church as he calls into question the source of wisdom - essentially noting that wisdom from God is drastically different than wisdom of the world.

    There are decisions that all of us make on a daily basis. Some of those are minor and relatively inconsequential, others are major and potentially life altering. Some impact only us (or so we think), where others reap ramifications on our families, church, workplaces, school, community, and more. ...read more
