    God's Tough Love

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 25, 2012
    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,664 views

    Often God has to spank as part of His loving discipline. Heb. 12:6 “…whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." There are at least 3 purposes to God’s tough love or chastening - instruction, correction, and prevention.

    God’s Tough Love Job 5:17-18 “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole. Have you ever thought that God was upset or angry with you? When we go through some ...read more

    In this messaeg we will look at what the Father did and not the mistakes of the Son

    Introduction: • "In Luke 15, we encounter a story often called 'The Parable of the Prodigal Son,' a title that highlights the son's wasteful choices and, in a way, keeps the focus on our own shortcomings. • But I believe this name misses the heart of the story. A truer title might ...read more

    If only one word could be used to describe you or your church, what would it be? As believers, many Christian attributes come to mind, but love would rank at the top. The world needs to see a church defined by love.
