    John is adamant we love one another and love all the brothers in Christ. What about divisions, personality differences and church problems? How is love perfected so we are not ashamed at the judgement seat of Christ. Love each other.

    The Unity Of Love

     | 2,030 views

    Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

    The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more

    Jesus was not born on the "right side of the track." We can accomplish more than we ever thought. This sermon looks at the lineage and culture of the Birth of Christ.

    We need to be prepared to tell people about Jesus as we go about our lives… Who is Jesus? Where did He come from? What did do? What did say? What was His character? What was His nature? And can we truly be like Him? Can we really obtain the God given dreams, goals, and aspirations that we have? ...read more

    The Jew trusted his law to be all that he needed and the best education he could get. Thus he boasted in the God who gave that law. There is no doubt that many Jews felt they were immune from God’s judgment.

    Peter had denied Jesus three times. Jesus asks Peter is he truly loved him. Jesus may need to ask us the same thing. Peter didn't love Jesus as much as he thought he did. Do we love Jesus as much as we think we do?
