Freedom For The Captives Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

There's something quite different about reading this letter compared with all Paul's other letters. In all the others, even those addressed to individuals, the focus is on the Church where they're ministering. But here there's a much more personal feel to the correspondence. You can feel the warmth ...read more

The Reason To Rejoice

Contributed by Derrick Strickland on Feb 20, 2016

Love: The Four Types Of Love Series

Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 10, 2016

Of the four types of love, only one can be chosen -- Agape. God did this intentionally because Agape is the most powerful, and echoes the love He has for us.

Last week we began our series on the L Word with lust, as an example of what love is not. That means that tonight we will begin to learn about what love is. But which love are we talking about? If that question doesn’t make sense, don’t worry -- you’re not alone. We only have one ...read more
