    Love is the key to all we do in the Christian life. It is the key to our ministry; the key to our relationships; and the key to our victory.

    Love Is The Key Text: 1 Cor.13: 13 Intro: Have you ever thought about how easy it is for people to misrepresent themselves to others? I suppose a certain amount of that is normal under certain conditions. For instance, I may feel like death warmed over. But if I’m walking through the mall, and ...read more

    This sermon shows that true love for God is more than words; it takes actions.

    Loving God During the month of February, we’ve been talking about love. Two weeks ago, we talked about the fact that real love is not passion, but real love is a promise and a commitment. And we saw that kind of real love between a husband and wife through the story of Hosea, who loved his wife ...read more

    It Is A Love Story

    Is the story about healing the Leper just about physical healing? Or is there more to the story? Most translations use the word "clean" ... not "healed." But could this "clean" mean "forgiveness" of sin? Mark Chapter 2 suggests it may be.

    I confess to you how I struggled with the scripture this morning. I struggled because when I first read this scripture, I wondered “how can I preach about this “healing” when I know we have people in our congregation who are good, faithful servants, disciples of Jesus Christ, yet who are suffering ...read more

    Our society confuses LOVE and LUST. Unlike lust, God’s kind of love is directed toward others, not inward toward ourselves. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations. It is natural to love them that love us, but it is supernatural to love th

    Opening illustration: Newspaper columnist and minister George Crane tells of a wife who came into his office full of hatred toward her husband. "I do not only want to get rid of him, I want to get even. Before I divorce him, I want to hurt him as much as he has me." Dr. Crane suggested an ...read more

    True love comes from Almighty God.

    Text: “Love has been perfected among us…” (v. 17) How long has love been around? How would you answer that question? We have all experienced love in some form. Our families love us.

    The love that brings glory to God is not one sided. It is the kind of love that is reciprocated and shared that brings glory to God.

    Known By Loving – John 13: 31 - 35 Intro: If you had to summarize the gospel of Jesus in just two words, which 2 would you choose? Most people would probably choose LOVE as one of the two; but, what about the other? I. John chose two verbs as he recounts Jesus’ final ...read more

    Defining love has become difficult in our society. True love must originate with God and reflect through our lives.

    Love For a Lifetime 1 John 2:3-6 Love is a word that has become obscure and ambiguous in our day. It is often talked about but seldom is it clearly defined. Love is what some have called a “weasel-word.” Love may mean anything, or nothing. It has lost its moorings and stands for ...read more
