The Royal Law - James 2:8-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021

We tend to disguise our sinful favoritism under the guise of loving our neighbor. Favoritism seems like love towards those we favor, but James shows that it’s really a violation of the royal law of love.

James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. The Importance of the Command Is anybody here interested in seeing the most important ...read more

Love That Is Better Than Life Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003

Before David was forced into the wilderness he was obsessed with his own comfort and the satisfaction of his own needs. It’s only when everything is taken from him that he becomes obsessed with God Himself, finding full satisfaction in his praise of Him.

Love That is Better Than Life I came across some actual signs this week. On a plumbing company’s van: “A flush beats a full house!” At a tire shop in Milwaukee: “Invite us to your next blowout!” At a towing company: “We don’t charge an arm and a leg. We want tows.” On a maternity room door: ...read more

Children Who Are Respectful Series

Contributed by Dave Stone on Jun 19, 2013

When we show respect to our parents and when we teach respect to our kids, you look different, they look distinctive, and God is honored.

Respect is something that certainly seems to be fading. We go in a coffee shop or you travel someplace or you’re in a school, and we see kids who oftentimes are disrespectful. And I feel sorry for them because I know that they weren’t raised in a way to be taught respect. So we want to ...read more

The Character Of A Healthy Church Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 18, 2017

The patterns of holy living that make for effective witness are here given as the distinguishing marks of the Christian groups addressed to: 1) Older Men (Titus 2:2), 2) Older Women (Titus 2:3–4a), 3) Young Women (Titus 2:4b–5), and 4) Young Men (2:9)
