    What Did Jesus Mean By "Whoever Loses His Life For Me Will Find It" Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 34,316 views

    A look at Jesus' difficult (and frequently ignored) teaching that "whoever lose his life for me will find it." What does that mean? What does it look like to live that out?

    WHAT DOES "LOSE YOUR LIFE TO FIND IT" MEAN ANYWAY? It means to pursue Jesus’ path even at the expense of my desires. - Matthew 10:39; Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33; John 12:25. - This is a foreign concept to many Christians. In the American church we largely ignore this ...read more

    Language: How We Perceive Love Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 10, 2016
     | 4,904 views

    Jesus told us to love one another. But what does that love look like? We all perceive it differently, but there are five "languages" that we use when we speak love.

    For the past two weeks, we’ve discussed love. First, we learned what love is not -- lust. After that, we learned the four types of love. But love is a verb -- it’s something we choose to do, right? #chooseagape, remember? We all know that the Bible tells us to show love. John 13:34-35, ...read more

    Inheriting God’s Love Dna Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 1, 2019
     | 5,563 views

    We inherit a certain DNA from our parents; believers have one spiritual parent, the Father. We evidence our family relationship by evidencing His qualities, especially love.

    Inheriting God’s Love DNA (I John 4:7-21) 1. There is much debate about whether obesity is genetic. Identical twins raised apart. 2. As one strand of DNA asked the other, “Do these genes make me look fat?” 3. Seriously, though, I have greatly enjoyed the results of a DNA test through ...read more

    Getting Acquainted With God

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,911 views

    Occasionally I lose things and can not find them. Since my children are grown up and no longer live with us, I have no one to blame it on.

    Thank God for wives who can find things! It seems the older we get the more we forget things! Illus: Sometimes I feel like the woman who stood at the bottom of the staircase and she could not remember if she just came down or was going to go up. I must also confess that there are days that I ...read more

    One Italian man became so frustrated with his wife’s badgering that he had himself arrested just to have one night’s peace in a jail cell. However, ten minutes after being securely locked away for the night because of pretending to be publicly intoxicated

    Avoid Over-reacting to Provocations (James 1:19) We all have a tendency to over react when provoked. Some have more difficulty than others controlling their emotions.

    Who Loves You More Than Mom?

    Contributed by Mark Haines on May 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,438 views

    We tend to think no one can love us as much as our mothers can. However, our mothers’ love is limited and one day they will die. Only God can love us more than our mothers can and he will never forget us or die.

    Introduction: This is a classic Mother’s Day Calvin & Hobbes comic strip. Calvin is standing by his mother’s bed. "Hey, Mom! Wake up. I made you a Mother’s Day card." "My, how sweet of you." she says. "I did it all by myself. Go ahead & read it." She begins to read, "I was going to buy a ...read more

    When people reject the light God gives them, they lose that truth and move deeper and deeper into darkness.

    INTRODUCTION We all know people who are not too bright. I’ve decided I don’t pick on Aggies and I don’t pick on Longhorns or even Baylor Bears, so today I guess I’ll make all the Razorback fans mad.

    By this all will know-Visible by all, not just by brethren! People hear how we treat one another, they hear how we talk about one another! People see if fellowship with one another!

    John 13:34-35-A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

    To love as Jesus loved is to love, not based on our opinions or prejudices or feelings of justice at any given time. It is unconditional; it includes everyone and excludes no one. And it goes all the way!!!!

    John 13:34-35 “Just Like That” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I think it’s safe to say that this is the simplest, clearest and hardest command of all! Perhaps more than any other single verse in the New Testament, this one should ...read more

    Nascar has one of the loyalist fan bases in the US and it is the only major US sport that opens its ceremonies with prayer. See how Colossians 1 applies to the "race for Christ."

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 1, 2009

     | 4,358 views

    When disciples lose their focus they lose their direction. Jesus has answers for that.

    “And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling ...read more
