    Jesus makes it clear that our love for others is the cornerstone of displaying our love for God. In this message we look at what it meant when Jesus gave this new commandment to love one another.

    Loving One Another John 13:34-35 *** Watch: https://youtu.be/Jpv3Ygkp4Zc In a quick review of New Testament, I found that the phrase, “one another” was used 100 times, and 60% of the time it was written as a command, and even more telling is that 47 of these were written instructions to followers ...read more

    James Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 9, 2022
     | 2,332 views

    Even after more than two years of miracles, James is a skeptic. It would, after all, be rather hard to swallow the idea that the brother you had grown up with was the Son of God.

    Jesus came from a big family. Matthew 13:55-56 names Jesus' brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas and mentions sisters (plural), so He had at least six siblings. James is consistently named first when Jesus' brothers are listed, which in his day likely meant that he was the eldest of ...read more

    Liars Or Living Letters? (1994)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022
     | 498 views

    Christian speech involves kindness, purity and truth as the three elements of godly speech for Christians. Take away any of those three and you are in danger of being a liar when the Bible makes it clear that we are to be living letters for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    LIARS OR LIVING LETTERS? Text: Colossians 3:5-9a In the Walt Disney movie "Pinnochio" there is a scene where Pinnochio's nose grows every time he tells a lie. And the point of that scene is that the more you lie, the more you have to lie to make all your ...read more

    Becoming Less

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 8, 2024
     | 301 views

    The goal of service is not to seek numbers or results but to build one another up in faith for His glory, not our own. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and let our good deeds point to the Father, He may become greater, and I become less (John 3:30) for His honor and glory, amen.

    Becoming Less John 3:30 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 What does effective ministry look like in this modern age?
