    Everyone loves love! We want to be loved and we want to give love. The problem is—our love is often lacking. This four-sermon series explores 1 John in order to discover a love that's truly worth having and giving: real love! PowerPoint available.

    REAL LOVE (3) Scott Bayles Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/2/2013 The Bible has a lot to say about love. Jesus said that the greatest commands ever given were to love the Lord with all you heart and to love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29). Paul wrote, “Three things will last ...read more

    When God Takes Us Fishing

    Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022
     | 4,761 views

    When we are given the call from God to serve him we should hear and obey. If not, then God has a way of getting our attention. He wants to extend his great Love to all men.

    When God takes us Fishing Sunday, August 20, 2022 I was seeking the Lord for the word for his church and as the pages of my bible opened up, my eyes were drawn to the first two verses of the Book of Jonah. Immediately I heard the Holy Ghost as he led me to focus my attention to what God would ...read more

    Plastic Faith

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 797 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

    I wonder what Christmas means to the little man in Zimbabwe, 80 years old, living in a hut, who knows nothing of shopping malls or Christmas trees? What does Christmas mean to him?

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Slightly Revised: 2014) A. I wonder what Christmas means to a mother who has lost her husband, who must take care of 3 or 4 children, working every day, never quite getting everything done, never making ends meet?

    Jesus performs a beautiful miracle at church one day. We see it from the persepective of the Crippled woman, Christ, Critics, and the crowd.

    Love Bent Double A while back, a friend e-mailed me a story about a seven-year-old boy whose mother asked him what he learned in Sunday school. He said, “Well, Mom, today we learned about the time when Moses was leading the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt and across the Red Sea. They got ...read more

    A pratical look at one of the hardest commandments

    Last week we began to look at what Paul calls the greatest internal force in all creation; love. This week we need to make a rather specific and probably painful application of what we’ve been learning; we’re going to talk about loving our enemies. We have a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get ...read more

    How we act and how we speak to each other really does matter to God. You may be just mirroring what you see people doing and saying around you - but is it right?

    The cover story of the September 14th issue of Newsweek magazine is very revealing about our culture today. The story is entitled: "How to say no to your kids." What I found interesting wasn’t the tips of saying "no" but on why it’s so hard for parents to do it. Some statistics jump off the ...read more

    Love From The Heart

    Contributed by Roger Thomas on Feb 17, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,215 views

    The majority of biblical references to the heart refers to the seat of the emotions, our inner self, or even the center of the will. We can learn much from a survey of the Bible’s call to love God with our whole heart.

    Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO From the Heart Jeremiah 29:13 Romance lives even in the retirement home. Did you hear about the 90 year-old bachelor.

    Reflections On The Love Of God

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,908 views

    The Love we share with one another in our marriage relationships is of God. It is God (not Hollywood) who defines, demonstrates, and instructs us on love, whether it is romantic love, or brotherly love.

    You probably are acutely aware of all the pink and red decorating many of our stores in the month of February. I have been thinking a lot about what it represents, and what we can learn. It occurred to me that many of us preachers will preach timely messages on Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, ...read more

    Pure Extravagant Love

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jun 23, 2014
     | 5,079 views

    The longer we know Him the more we love Him, and the more we want to love Him. Our love for Him becomes an extravagant love. There is nothing too great to do for Him; nothing too much to give.

    Pure Extravagant Love Mark 14:1-9 1. Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him; 2. for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the ...read more

    Love One Another

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2013
     | 5,197 views

    1 Peter 3:8-9 gives us a descriptive picture of how we should treat each other. It offers a positive look at how we should act, a negative look at how we shouldn't act, and, a look at how our love for one another will bring a blessing.

    Today, let's take a look at some instruction from the Holy Scriptures on differing attitudes. Attitudes what a difference they make in every part of our lives! Different attitudes of cashiers under certain circumstances. Good cashiers: Friendly, pleasant, courteous, smiling If situation ...read more
