    Loving God

    Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jan 14, 2017
     | 10,271 views

    If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly many people who say they love God don't even really "know" Him.

    Introduction: If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly, they may not even know Him. Words alone are no proof of love. In fact, we use the word love rather loosely, ascribing ...read more

     | 3,560 views

    Turn with me to Matthew 4. We’re going to read verses 17-20. (17) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

    Rev. F. Andrew Dixon If married couples can learn to handle their finances on certain principles based on God’s word, they can avoid conflict because of finances and also stay out of debt. Learn how your finances can be blessed so you can be a blessing to others.

    We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) We considered this verse in one of the previous messages, to understand that the kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king who organized marriage for his son, which implies ...read more
