    Jesus' message to the church at Ephesus reminds us of the need to love Jesus and each other.

    There were once two newlyweds on their honeymoon. They were taking a train ride cross country. The bride was becoming a little self conscious about all the fanfare of being a new married couple. She just wanted some quiet time alone with her new husband, so she came up with a plan. She said to ...read more

    God's gift of love in the person of His Son is an example of how we are to love others.

    This morning we are going to begin by playing a little game called “Name That Christmas Song.” I’ll read a phrase from a well-known holiday song, and you try to “name that tune”: • We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be. (“Sleigh Ride”) • When we finally kiss goodnight, ...read more

    Love The Children Series

     | 1,941 views

    For the love of family, the children in our lives need our unconditional, steadfast love. We need to learn some Biblical ways to show that love each day.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Do As We Say - The Skit Guys Well that’s certainly one way to raise children, isn’t it. I wouldn’t say it is a very effective way. Solomon also had some ideas about raising children. I love the way that the Living Bible shares this passage from Proverbs ...read more

    Second Chance In Christ Series

     | 3,500 views

    Deepening "whiles" become heightened "boasts". Weakness, sin, and enmity are our problems toward God. But in Christ there is help at the right time, conversion of consequences into positives, and sacrifical love for reconciliation.

    “We have a problem here.” That phrase, in one form or another, runs through much of human history. We have a problem here. You know it, if you remember 1995, as almost what astronaut John Swigert said from Apollo 13. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Changed a little and immortalized by ...read more

     | 788 views

    Jesus' life, death, and resurrection were prophesied hundreds of years before they happened, and He willingly sacrificed Himself to pay the price for our sins because of His love for us.

    Here's the deal with Easter: God did something only He could do to pull off something only He could pull off. We all mess up, right? Who here has ever snuck a cookie before dinner or maybe 'forgot' to do their chores? Yeah, I thought so. Well, the Bible says that every time we do something wrong, ...read more

     | 8,928 views

    Funeral sermon for Mrs. Amanda Foye Jackson, who had suffered through two massive strokes and the loss of her son.

    In Biblical times, a person’s name revealed something about who he was or what she was intended to be. In the creation story, there is Adam, meaning earth, and Eve, meaning mother. Their names told you who they were and what they were intended to be. Abraham, father of nations; Isaac, laughter; ...read more

    Does God Love, Love Making? You cannot turn on secular television without seeing an ongoing solicitation that is sexual in nature. In most cases these are most likely a perversion of the sex that God approves of for man. But does He love, love making.

    We are in a series entitled does God really Love These Things and we have answered the question. Does God Love Laughter. God wants us to a full and abundant life full of hope, peace, and joy. Included in all of that is laughter. The Bible very clearly states that there is a time for laughter. I ...read more

    God loves us infinitely more than we can understand. Because of this, we should live pure lives, as He is pure.

John 1:12-13, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of ...read more

    A consideration of Divine Love

    Introduction: I want us to consider the Love of God. In the 80's a popular music group sang a song that I believe is the heartcry of our generation. They said, "I want to know what Love is, and I want you to show me". Our world is searching for Love but they dont really know what it is. ...read more

     | 44,554 views

    Some people refuse to love their enemies because it shows they have standards, that they respect themselves, that they reject bad behavior. It makes them feel God-like. But Jesus said that being "God-like" means loving our enemies. How do we do that?

    OPENING: There once were 2 cats from Kilkenny Each thought there was one cat too many They fought and they spit, They clawed and they bit. Till instead of two cats … there weren't any.

     | 4,097 views

    We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

    Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

    We Must Love as God Loves I John 4:7-15 Introduction Last week, we were asked to test the spirits. This is because not every spiritual event comes from the Holy Spirit.

    We can ask Jesus to help us love the unlovable. We must always look for chances to show God’s love to others, even when it might be hard to do. We never know whose life Jesus may change because we showed his love.

    Good morning boys and girls! Your Sunday school teachers have told me that today you’re going to be talking about saints. Well, I’m going to talk to you about someone who is not a saint, but who certainly acted like one after he met Jesus. Let me start by asking you to use your ...read more
