Sermons on Psychotic Love:

The Love Triangle Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Some need to learn to love themselves before they can love God. Others need to love God to escape a perverted self-love. Still others need to love their neighbor to balance out an inadequate love.

One of the great tragic plays of all time is Shakespeare's Othello. Othello was a general in the Venetian army. He secretly married Desdemona the daughter of a Venetian senator. Desdemona was the most lovely of all Shakespeare's characters. She was a beautiful and ideal wife. Othello was ...read more

The End Is Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul urges them to make love the primary goal of their ministry. He then gives the three means necessary to arrive at this goal. They are a pure heart, a good conscience, and a genuine faith.

Someone has said, "You can never win in the game of life if you don't know where the goal posts are." You can't win in any game if you don't have a goal. Great men in every walk of life have been those with a goal, and a determination to reach it. It is difficult to ...read more

The Love Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

It is plain to see that money is an easy god to love, and the worshipper of it can easily win converts to it. It is likely the most popular of all the religions of the world, even though it is never listed among the world religions.

When a Mr. Blodgett won 25 thousand dollars on a TV program the master of ceremonies asked him what he was going to do with the money. He replied, "It will probably all go to charity." The audience broke into a tremendous round of applause while the band played for he's a jolly good ...read more

Brotherly Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

That is the New Testament demand, and you are to learn to love all who claim Jesus as Lord and Savior. Brotherly love is not a matter of affection, but of duty to Christ, and commitment to His purpose.

D. L. Moody has related a tradition concerning the sight of Solomon's temple. It seems that the land was occupied by two brothers. One had a family and the other was unmarried. One evening after harvesting the wheat, as they sat in their separate dwellings, the elder brother said to his wife, ...read more

Educated Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Paul is not knocking the love of the Philippians. Kindergarten love is not bad, but it is no place to level off and be content. A child who does not progress beyond kindergarten is greatly handicapped, and so is the Christian whose love does not abound more and more in knowledge.

The best of Christians make their share of mistakes, but John Turner was apparently trying to get a large portion of his quota of mistakes out of the way all in one day. John was a conscientious pastor who got to his church early one Sunday morning, and he discovered that he had left his sermon ...read more

The Priority Of Love Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The messages to the seven churches are vital to the survival of the church in any part of the world at any time in history. The lights of the church go out all through history and produce dark ages when Jesus is not heard and heeded.

If someone asks you, "What is the modern name of the country where Paul was born?" Would you know? If someone asked you, "What is the modern name of the country where Christians were first called Christians?" Would you know? If someone asked you, "What is the modern ...read more

But For The Love Of God

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 18, 2020

We often hear people says "For the love of God....." when they are expressing frustrations. In this message I hope to convince Christians that this statement should never be made in frustration, but with a sense of awe as we reflect on God's love for us.

But For The Love Of God Scriptures: John 3:16; Matthew 4:8-10; 1 Timothy 2:3-4 The last time that I spoke to you I delivered a message about knowing THE Name. The name everyone will bow to and confess is THE Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In that message I stressed the importance and ...read more

Tough Love

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 1, 2020

A warning not only for Israel then, but for the church now. The long-suffering of God.

TOUGH LOVE. Matthew 23:13-39. 1. Jesus spares not to warn those who are on the path to “the damnation of hell” (Matthew 23:33), using such expressions as “woe unto you” (eight times), “hypocrites” (seven times), “blind guides” or “fools and blind” (five times), “ye serpents, (ye) generation of ...read more

Led By Love

Contributed by Robert Osborne on Aug 22, 2020

Never once did Jesus fail in this, not in his heartbreak or his anger, not in his joy or his betrayal. Jesus Led By Love. His default has always been love! He led with love because He was led by love! I believe it’s time for the church to be “Led By Love” so we can lead with love!

The last months and most recently the last few weeks have been pretty challenging for us all. I heard one pastor say that this has been the toughest season he's ever led through from leading through this COVID 19, the political insanity, the news insanity, to the most recent events of the ...read more

Christian Love

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 15, 2020

How is a church a family? How do we practically show love to one another? Jesus gave us an example and Paul challenges us to live it.

Christian Love (Rom. 12:9-13) Intro: A. There is a verse that many Christians know, have heard or been preached from the pulpit so frequently, it the meaning has lost its wonder and awe. To put the verse in the context I take you to the night commonly called the Last Supper. But instead of ...read more

Love Them?

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 24, 2020

Loving God. I can do. Loving your neighbor. I will try, especially if they are fellow Christians. Loving your enemy. I don't if I can do that. How does a person love their enemy?

Love Them? (Matt. 5:43-48) Intro: A. I want to start this lesson with a word found at the end of our reading. It’s the word “perfect.” “You therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That calling seems to be impossible, so how could Jesus call upon us to be at the level ...read more
