Loving Others

Contributed by Annie Springate on May 26, 2016

The commandment Jesus left us with is to love God and love others. In general we find it much easier to love God than we do loving others. Why is that? We have an enemy and when we realize his tactics we are better placed to fulfill Jesus' command.

Loving Others • The Word of God is the most powerful thing that exists in the earth • Consistent attention and with full attention • It is our education If you want to be a doctor you need to be educated. If you want to be a carpenter you need to be educated, if you want to be a ...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

Walking In Love Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Oct 14, 2019

We continue to explore what "Putting on the New Man" entails. We, as children and imitators of God, should walk in love. But that gets complicated as we encounter sin in our lives.

Loving Leah

Contributed by Pastor Michael Threadgill on May 8, 2025

Leah, the first wife of Jacob, is one of the most overlooked figures in the Bible even though she may have felt weary or unwanted, God saw her, honored her, and made her fruitful. Her life is a powerful testimony to how God uses the overlooked to fulfill His greatest purposes.

Love Is The Core

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 22, 2025

I cannot meet the righteous requirements of the law on my own. There is only one way to be approved by God: believe in Jesus, God's only begotten Son. God made it possible for us to be approved. Love fulfills the law, love is at the core.

Likely, in our spiritual lives, there has been at least one person who has impacted your life, creating a desire to develop the kind of walk with the Lord that closely resembled theirs. While each of these have their place, none can compare to the influence of our heavenly Father.
