Leading And Loving Like Jesus

This message was given to a leadership team (manager and senior level) at the mission that I serve at. It is about serving well, like Jesus.

We gather here, as we always do at the mission, in the name of Jesus Christ seeking to know his heart, seeking to know and discern his mind, seeking to hear from the Holy Spirit as he speaks to us through each other. And today we’re continuing to talk about the general reality of our need for ...read more

Because Jesus Loves You

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on May 28, 2024

Because of the love of Jesus, what do you expect He would like you to experience even during this time?

The Magnanimity Of God’s Love

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Dec 4, 2024

As we gather this Christmas Sunday, there is a tension in the air, one that is often masked by the lights, the decorations, and the festive songs. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of Christmas—the gifts, the food, the joy. But do we ever stop to reflect on the true weight of this season?

Love Came Down At Christmas

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Dec 22, 2024

At Christmas if all we speak about is Jesus and the manger in isolation of his life of love and sacrifice we are doing the gospel a disservice. Christmas is a redemption story - tell it with all its glory.

As we prepare for Christmas, sometimes I wonder if we have allowed the Savior to be stolen from our celebrations. I say this because “Merry Christmas” has been replaced with “Happy Holidays”, businesses exclude Christmas by saying “holiday sale” and when someone asks if you are ready for Christmas ...read more

Love Your Family Members

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Dec 28, 2024

When God commanded the Israelites to love their neighbors, He was specifically referring to their families and relatives.

I have shared this verse with you many times: "Love your neighbor as yourself." I also taught you that this commandment is the most important, alongside loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind. But, notice God didn’t say we have to love all the world, but your neighbor. Then, what ...read more

Love Of Neighbor (Deuteronomy 21)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 7, 2025

How is love of neighbor very different in God's eyes to ours? Let's begin in Deuteronomy 21.

How did they handle unsolved murders, prisoners of war becoming wives, firstborn rights, juvenile delinquency, and hanging as a death penalty? Is human understanding of love of neighbor very different to God’s? Let’s begin in Deuteronomy 21. Was Israel to deal with an unsolved murder with ...read more

Finding The Love Of Your Life Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Mar 20, 2025

Life is about what you love. Jesus said that we should love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The Book of Titus challenges us to discover, "Who or what is really the love of your life."

Life is about what you love. In the last 300 years the way people see life and the definition of a “successful life” has changed. It has moved from morality to money; from God to goals, from Christ to culture. This is not new; this same setting was the type of culture Paul was addressing in the ...read more

God's Love

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 13, 2025

But, as is usually the case, the Word of God contradicts the word of the world, and tells us that “God is love,” not the other way around.

God’s Love 1John 4:13-21 I think it’s safe to say that the one thing our world truly needs today is love. Songs are written about it all the time. John Lennon wrote the song “All You Need is Love.” Dionne Warwick made famous the song, “What the Word Needs Now is Love”. And you know what? They’re ...read more
