The mother said, “Your friend has been very kind.” “Yes,” said the child, “She gave me more; but I gave some away.” When her mother asked who she gave ...read more

    Today, I want to preach on the Parable of the Prodigal Son looking at it from the position of the dad.

    All who claim loyalty to Jesus must be committed to truth & love. We are to follow the truth and act with love toward one another. Love though is not to overshadow or overcome truth.

    2 JOHN TRUTH IN LOVE [Matthew 7:21-23 / 1 Corinthians 13:1-4] Second John is a brief epistle which could have been written on a single sheet of papyrus of standard size [5x9]. The preservation of this brief letter is no doubt a tribute to its spirituality and inspiration. In this short ...read more

    For the love of family, the children in our lives need our unconditional, steadfast love. We need to learn some Biblical ways to show that love each day.

    Led By Love

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,235 views

    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

    How do you view God? Some people view God as a heavy-handed, demanding judge with strict rules of right and wrong.
