    Love is a very popular topic in the Scriptures. Probably one of the most twisted truths’ of the Bible being taught and talked about today is the Love of God.

    God Loves You Three sons left home, started careers and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give their elderly mother for her 70th birthday. The first said, “I built a huge house for Mom.” The second said, “I sent her a Mercedes with a driver.” The ...read more

    Alive Beyond This Life Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 13, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,598 views

    God wants to give us life beyond this life, for God is love and live is never diminished. It is not something we attain by knowledge, but by trust. Two sweatshirts are pulled on and off to illustrate two ways of thinking about life beyond this life.

    God is love. So the Bible says, and that is, in a sense, all we need to know. God is love; and just as when you love someone you do not abandon them, so also the love of God, richer far than tongue or pen can ever tell, reaches to the highest height and to the lowest hell, and keeps on going ...read more

    In the cover of night, hood over his head, Nick sneaks out to rendezvous with Jesus. What do we learn from this meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus?

    NICK-AT-NIGHT JOHN 3:1-21 It’s nighttime. Darkness has fallen like a blanket on the city. A thick fog hangs in the air. A man nervously glances at his watch. 6:30pm. It’s safe to leave now.

     | 3,632 views

    Jesus challenged Nicodemus and us because He challenges our pride and status, or because we think that all we have done is now useless. The human Jesus shows us how to live without being uptight.

    Two men standing in a garden to talk; so much alike and yet so different. Two men, with much on their minds, with eternal issues at stake, and yet with very human concerns too. Two men, very different and yet brothers, much the same. Two men standing in a garden to take one another’s measure. ...read more
