    Love As I Have Loved

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 16, 2025
     | 1,359 views

    People don’t naturally love with a 1 Corinthians 13 type love. To love like that, there must be a line of demarcation, a transition from casual to serious, there must be change of heart, you must be Born-Again. Love can transcend these artificial barriers that keep us separated from one another.

    Love as I have Loved By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - John 13:31-35 “Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of taking the first step of faith, using the story of Nahshon from the Exodus, who courageously led the Israelites forward even when there seemed to be no way.

    There is a legend in Judaism about a man named Nahshon. He only gets one begat in the Bible. Of course, that’s one more than you and me! He is the great-great-great-grandfather of King David. He disappears almost as soon as he makes his debut, but Nahshon is credited with saving the nation of ...read more

    Second in a series on popular illusions; and for Independence Day. Life will not cease to be a struggle if justice is not fully realized, feelings are not fully expressed, and wrong decisions are not fully reversed.

    What kind of a retirement party was this? He had worked so long, he had struggled with so many things, and now, here, at the end, it seemed there was still unfinished business. His worries were not behind him, nor were all the issues settled. And why not? Had he no right to expect that now life ...read more

    Self-control is difficult for us because we are afraid of responsibility. But to have no form of control is to choose chaos. The answer is to build a relationship with Christ so close that His will becomes ours.
