Love For The Undeserving Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 4, 2023

No Greater Love Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Feb 7, 2023

To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

Love And Marriage

Contributed by Davon Huss on Feb 24, 2023

What Is Love?

Contributed by Grant Adams on Aug 2, 2022

You could get hundreds of answers to this question. The true answer is found in God. God so loved the world.

The greatest love ever expressed was the love shown to a Christ denying world when Christ died upon the cross for the sins of all mankind. Love was manifest at Calvary.

Service With Love

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 9, 2022

That more excellent way is the exercise of the gifts in agapē.

Words Of Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

No words can describe the depth to which man had fallen in killing the only perfect man whoever lived. But there are no words of cursing coming from that cross. There are no words of revenge, but unbelievably we hear words of love.

Loved But Lost Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

This almost perfect moral young man appeared to be as spiritually healthy as one could possibly be, but Jesus saw something in him that called for radical surgery if he was to ever find eternal life.

This is the story of the rich young ruler who, unlike the rich old ruler, Nicodemus, did not come to Jesus by night, but came to Him publicly in the daytime. All three of the synoptic Gospels tell the story, and each add something extra to the total picture. Matthew tells us he was young. Luke ...read more

Someone has said, "You can never win in the game of life if you don't know where the goal posts are." You can't win in any game if you don't have a goal. Great men in every walk of life have been those with a goal, and a determination to reach it. It is difficult to ...read more

The Love Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

It is plain to see that money is an easy god to love, and the worshipper of it can easily win converts to it. It is likely the most popular of all the religions of the world, even though it is never listed among the world religions.
