    Love Unquenchable

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 1, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,710 views

    In many sectors of our society “tolerance” is equated with “love.” But is that a biblical concept? God is love; but was He tolerant of Sodom’s sin? Perhaps current assumptions about what love is should be examined in the light of biblical revelation.

    Love Unquenchable (10-18-15 www.LifeChurchSpringfield.org) I take as my theme these words from Song of Solomon 8:7 “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it….” On November 5, 1982 a precious gift from God was laid in my arms. Jeanie and I named her Kathy Jean ...read more

    The Sovereignty Of God In Church Growth

    Contributed by Norman Bernad on Jan 18, 2026
     | 88 views

    When we think about church growth, it’s easy to focus on programs, strategies, or numbers on a chart. But the book of Acts invites us to see church growth in a very different light — as the sovereign work of God, moving powerfully through His Spirit.

    “The Sovereignty of God in Church Growth” • Acts 2:47; • 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 • Psalm 127 • “Who really grows the church?” • Mention how people often attribute church growth to marketing, programs, or personalities. • But Scripture shows us: God is the one who gives the increase. When we think ...read more

Maynard Pittendreigh Senior Pastor Isaiah 49:1-11 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name.

    There are lots of bad role models in this world . But Jesus called us to be role models of His way of life for others. So, how do I become the kind of role model he wants me to be and how can I make a difference in the lives of others?

    Hurricanes, Prayer And Faith

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 16, 2017
     | 9,531 views

    Many of us prayed against Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose. But they still happened. Why? Is it because none of us p had faith or too little faith? I believe the answer, from scripture, will be a surprise and an encouragement.

    Hurricane’s Harvey, Irma and Jose. Many people, especially Christians, believe they are God’s judgment on the US because of sin. Predictably, the sins most Christians identify are same sex marriage, the homosexual lifestyle and abortion. None of these behaviors are the reasons why our country is ...read more

    Persecuted: Why? Series

     | 2,571 views

    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    What do we do when the lights go out in our world? It’s simple: Don’t trust yourself; trust the Lord. Rely on His unfailing love. Rely on His unlimited power, and rely on His obedient Servant, Jesus Christ, who CHOSE to die for us.

    Vance Havner was one of my favorite preachers when I was growing up, because had a wonderful, witty way of putting things that really made you think. He went home to be with the Lord quite a while ago, but I remember a story he told about two Indians who from a distance had been watching a ...read more
