    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 20, 2015
     | 7,825 views

    We love because we belong to God and that's what he does. God's love is sacrificial, self-giving. It's a love that's seen in the way we love because we're his body here on earth.

    Well we saw last week how important it is for us to love one another and here he says it again, but this time with an added couple of reasons. God is Love Twice in this passage he tells us “God is love.” Last week the motivation for loving God and remaining faithful to the gospel was ...read more

    This sermon explores how our devotion, love, and sacrifice, exemplified by Mary in John 12:1-8, can make our lives a fragrant offering to God.

    The woman with the alabaster jar and the widow’s two copper coins show us that sacrificial giver is not determined by much we give, but by a grateful heart.

    “Living A Life of Sacrifice: A Matter Of The Heart” Romans 12:1-8 This is the last week of our stewardship “check-up.” I hope that during the past week you have found quiet times to allow the Lord to search your heart, give you insights into His will, and give you the passion to become a godly ...read more

    Giving sacrificially, in light of God’s grace, is a great reflection of Who God is and accomplishes more than we can realize at the time

    It’d been a hard winter in the Appalachian Mountains. Snow had piled up deeper and deeper, it turned bitter cold, rivers froze, people were suffering.

    If You Love Me Premium Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 937 views

    The sermon explores the challenge of obeying Jesus' commands of love, forgiveness, and mercy, and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers to live out these commands.

    I think we can all admit here today that obedience is difficult. It’s difficult to learn, difficult to teach, and it’s a difficult process to watch play out in the lives of others around us. It’s not something we’re good at, hard wired for, or frankly… enjoy. Once upon a time, there was a young ...read more

    Praising God At The Dung Gate

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2018
     | 9,362 views

    Sometimes God allows us to experience bitter trials. The crowning grace is when we can praise God -- in spite of or even for -- the trial. That's what Nehemiah did when he went to praise God at the Dung Gate!

So far, we have looked at God’s vision for marriage to display Christ’s relationship with his church (5:31-32). Then we saw that God calls wives to respect and ...read more
