    SUMITTING YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER (pt 2) "The Priority and Protocol of Love and Marriage" INTRO – One of the obstacles to the Christian marriage is misplaced and displaced priorities.

     | 6,648 views

    Joseph and Mary had no say over the name of their first child. He was not named for anyone else, not for what character was hoped for him, but for the purpose for which he was born in the first place.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph’s Dream 12/1/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “What’s in a name?” so questions Juliet. There may be much in a name. Some of us are named after loved and respected family members. We carry in our name the remembrance of someone else. Others of us ...read more

    For God to be first in our life, we have to allow Him to win the battle against the gods of this world.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • How many of us woke up this morning or any thinking, do I worship God or am I going to worship Satan today? • Hopefully we do not think that way, if you are, please come see me later.  • I really do not think too many followers of Jesus or ...read more

    This message is about the power of love and that Scripture proves that it is greater than faith. Faith is activated and sustained by love.

We discussed the attitudes that are prevalent in the United States; attitudes of hate by those who truly believe ...read more

Revelation 2:1-7 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, ...read more

     | 4,984 views

    Our love for Christ must always come before our work for Christ. Don’t be deluded by our own importance or our great service to God.

    It is good to know that the Lord walks among the churches. • The last verse of chapter 1 tells us the lamp-stands represent the churches. • He is present with us today. No matter how imperfect we are, He is here. • He has a word for every church, each according to their needs. We will look at ...read more

    Ahavah - A Hebrew Thought Of Love

    Contributed by Alex De Guzman on Feb 14, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,888 views

    Love or “Ahava” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience. It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

    Most Hebrew words can be broken down into a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning. The root word of ahava is “ahav.” The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.” True ahava, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving. Being the center of someone’s ...read more

     | 7,320 views

    We are no different than Peter who denied knowing Jesus three times.

    Text: “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). If someone were to ask you if you love Jesus, what would you say? If you simply answered “Yes” do you think you would positively convince the person who asked you that question? How do people know without a shadow ...read more
