    The Prayer Of Love Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 14, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,573 views

    John 17 is the longest prayer of Jesus in the entire Gospels. It's sometimes referred to as Christ's High Priestly prayer... but I regard that as being a far too sterile description of what is truly Jesus' prayer of love for His bride.

    Children have very simple views of life… and of love. The following are children’s views on the topic of love. A 7 year old said – “If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long.” A 5 year old boy – “Once I’m in kindergarten, I’m going to find me ...read more

    Indebted To Love

    Contributed by Mark Engler on Dec 18, 2014

    The Christian should always feel “Indebted To Love.” But why? Why should we always feel indebted to love? Let’s consider a couple things this morning. Why We Owe The Debt How We Pay The Debt

    Indebted To Love Romans 13:8-10 INTRO: Read Text The very first phrase of our passage today is some pretty good advise, but really how many of us have done the opposite? “Let no debt remain outstanding.” I would venture to say that most of the people we have here today have some ...read more

    Love Or Cosmetology? Series

    Valentine's Day: If church members do Christian things like feed the homeless or go on mission trips, and these acts are done without love, then people are just wasting their time. Without love, God doesn’t care what we do for Him.

    Neil Postman writes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, “that we have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology [or “practice”] as [a] field of expertise.”(1) The verb “cosmeticize” means, “to make something unpleasant or ugly superficially attractive.”(2) It’s common for people ...read more

    Early in the history of the church, the Lord added an office to the church. It was not an afterthought, for He knew from eternity past that He would do this. But now the time was right, and the need was great. Why were deacons added? What is the lesson fo

    Remember that privates get medals even the Medal of Honor like Jacob Parrott and Sergeants are the backbone of the Army. Not everyone is called to be a General in the Lord's army.

    2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; ...read more

    Whose Image Is This? Premium Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,014 views

    This sermon explores the balance between fulfilling our earthly responsibilities and maintaining our spiritual identity, using Jesus' teachings on paying taxes as a guide.

    Jesus was obviously an amazing teacher and rabbi. Throughout the course of his ministry I imagine that he answered thousands of questions about God, the law, and living a life of faith. But near the end of His earthly ministry, some questions came with ulterior motives. Many of those asking were ...read more

    Does Hell motivate you?

    Holy Hell? Odd title for a sermon, perhaps, but it got your attention. Hell must be holy since I have heard that phrase many times over the years as a remark of astonishment whether the cause of the astonishment was positive or negative.

     | 6,194 views

    Renewal, Restoration, Retrieval – the attitude is so important. It’s done in love- not reluctance. It’s done with mercy – not judgment. It’s goal is restoration – not conviction. It’s done with risk – not with guarded defensiveness.
