Contributed by Jim Kane on Sep 4, 2006

Fourth sermon in the summer 2006 Series, “Being God’s People by Serving, Obeying, and Giving.”

What is love? Love has always been a big topic of discussion between us humans. Much is said about love and much is written about love. However, it seems to me that we have never been able to give a satisfactory answer to the question, ‘What is love?’ (1) But we are often able to describe love ...read more

I was watching a show on TV a couple of weeks ago and they were asking school children what Christmas was all about. There were two common themes that came out as they gave their answers.

Love Is A Command Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009

Jesus said, ’this is my command: Love one another.’ How does that work? It is easy to see how you can obey a command not to lie, or steal or commit murder – but how can you command somebody to love somebody. How is that possible?

One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more

Preparing for 2020: Listening with Love I feel for Joseph. Not only because he’s often overlooked, but in some ways I understand what it’s like to be Joseph. In 1994 I found a new level of solidarity with Joseph. The children’s director concluded that the pastor’s grandson didn’t need a “speaking” ...read more

Love Is The Core

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 22, 2025

Romans 8:4 Love is the Core Romans 8:4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

How Could God Love Someone Like Me?

Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 4, 2013

It was a scandal. Jesus was hanging out with some folk who were not well-respected. In fact, they were religious and social outcasts – and Jesus is not only eating with them, He is enjoying their company.

9 September 2005 How Could God Love Someone Like Me? Matthew 9:9-13 Introduction As we get started this morning, I want to begin with a question. If Jesus were walking among us today, would He eat at Lauren’s sports bar, “Goony Birds?” If you’re thinking that ...read more
