    Jesus love is raging, it’s extravagant, it’s illogical, it’s over-the-top, it’s revolutionary, it pushes the boundaries of how we define love.

    A while back there was a news story on the BBC about a teenage girl in England who had her boyfriend’s nickname tattooed in Chinese on her stomach, symbolic of her “undying love” for him. A tattoo on your stomach?—that’s got to hurt. A little later—and who would ...read more

    A sermon about loving enemies and allowing God to maintain justice for wrongs done against us.

    Turn your Bible to Luke chapter 6, Luke chapter 6. And we are just kind of walking our way through the Book of Luke.

    If as a Christian, nobody has ever accused you of being a fanatic, it means that you are not yet serious with your Christian life. Anyone who is serious with his Christian life operates sometimes in a way that is not logical. If unbelievers call you a fan

    Far to many times I have heard someone share that they know someone who says they are a Christian, but their life is impure. It literally destroys the witness of Christ when believers do not live out their faith. So, are you the real deal? Updated February 2023.

    The fifth sermon of a post-Easter series on Love.

    (Slide 1) It was a conversation that has stuck with me over the years. I was not a part of the conversation, per se, but I was a part of the audience that listened.

    A disciple is simply a pupil not necessarily a true disciple of Christ even though they follow Christ.

    When someone says they are Christian, what do you think they mean?? There are too many definitions of Christianity out there. Which one is right? Let me ask this important question: What is the main root word of the word “Christian”?? Since the main root of the word Christian is Christ, the only ...read more
