    The Fruit of the Spirit is God’s love and work in us, the love of Christ flowing in through His Holy Spirit in and out of us! All because we have a personal relationship with Christ, we have God’s living presence in us, living in us. The result is we have

    Opening illustration: The teacher in our adult-education creative-writing class told us to write "I love you" in 25 words or less, without using the words "I love you." She gave us 15 minutes. A woman in the class spent about ten minutes looking at the ceiling and wriggling in her seat. The last ...read more

    Incarnate means to embody or personify, and though we cannot incarnate Christ in the same way the Word became flesh, we can incarnate His love and grace and mercy

    Incarnate Love TCF Sermon December 9, 2007 Have you ever heard the phrase, someone is the embodiment of something? A good example is Adolf Hitler.

    God's gift of love in the person of His Son is an example of how we are to love others.

    This morning we are going to begin by playing a little game called “Name That Christmas Song.” I’ll read a phrase from a well-known holiday song, and you try to “name that tune”: • We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.

    Love Came Down At Christmas

     | 1,604 views

    At Christmas if all we speak about is Jesus and the manger in isolation of his life of love and sacrifice we are doing the gospel a disservice. Christmas is a redemption story - tell it with all its glory.

    As we prepare for Christmas, sometimes I wonder if we have allowed the Savior to be stolen from our celebrations. I say this because “Merry Christmas” has been replaced with “Happy Holidays”, businesses exclude Christmas by saying “holiday sale” and when someone asks if you are ready for Christmas ...read more

    Three tests to determine whether our spiritual journey is pleasing to God.

    I have yet to meet anyone who actually likes to take tests. In fact some people have a phobia about taking tests, they freeze up as soon as the test is passed out, suddenly the light seems brighter, the room seems smaller. Recently I ran across some impossible test questions that are sure to strike ...read more

    Paul tells us that there are four dimensions to Christ’s love that we need to not only perceive but to comprehend. These can't be understood naturally but require the Holy Spirit to illuminate our eyes to be able to grasp the wonder of Christ’s love.

    Knowing His Love Ephesians 3:14-21 As humans we can only visualize the world around us in three dimensions. Our nervous systems are equipped to conjure images in merely three dimensions. We can visualize height, width, and depth. It is difficult for us to imagine a fourth dimension. ...read more

    Depending on what Bible version you have, First Corinthians chapter 13 verse 5 says this about love: “Love is not provoked”, “isn't irritable”, “is not easily angered”, “isn't quick-tempered”. Is it possible to control your anger, your irritable response even when provoked? Sure it is.

    Loving All The Way Until It Hurts Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 14, 2025
     | 214 views

    Remember that the letter to the Hebrews tells us that Jesus Himself was made perfect through suffering. If we, too, want to share in His glory, we must also be prepared to suffer, perhaps a lot. And loving can involve suffering too, can't it?

    Fifth Sunday of Easter 2025 Pope St. John Paul II looked at Our Lord Jesus as the fulfillment of what we might call “human potential.” He was and is the man that Adam was created to become. Lamentably, Adam and Eve tried the Satanic shortcut, attempting to become divine by disobeying a direct ...read more
