The Great Love Deception; Human Love Condemning Divine Love

Contributed by David Leach on Jun 1, 2014

How do we receive God and therefore receive divine love in order that we can love?

What is divine love? 1 Jo 4:8 …God is love It isn’t that God has love as an attribute, no, God is Himself love. His very nature is love. Who then has this divine love and therefore can divinely love others? Since God is love, whoever has God has love; whoever has more of God has ...read more

For The Love Of Christ

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 7, 2005

A sermon that reminds us to keep our focus on the destination: The eternal life in worshiping the Lord in Heaven.
