    Love And Truth - The Dynamic Duo! Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 1, 2025
     | 264 views

    Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth! The two are a dynamic duo!

Scriptures Texts: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.” Loving someone God’s way always requires an Action! 1 John 3:16: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid ...read more

    Monday of Holy Week 2025 St. John the Evangelist probably had three or four decades or more to contemplate the life and fate of his fellow disciple, Judas Iscariot. He then wrote his clear and crisp description of the man’s moral character. The incident described Mary of Bethany ministering to the ...read more

    In this message the Apostle Paul will teach us how to embrace his philosophy for living... "What does it matter - what happens to me or what other people say about me." I have chosen my calling over my comfort and God's approval over man's approval.
