Fear And Love God Series

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Aug 21, 2003

We see two completely different pictures of God at Mt. Sinai. How can we fit them into our hearts? Don’t bother reading this if you’re looking for cute stories and illustrations for your entertainment.

August 24, 2003 Exodus 19, 20, 24 How do you FEEL about that? As a Lutheran, a German, and a male that question and that focus has nearly driven me nuts throughout the past years. It just isn’t natural or easy for me or most males to be “sensitive” or “emotional”. But the fact of the ...read more

What Stops God!

Contributed by Ty Tamasaka on Aug 24, 2011

What can stop God? Not something or someone more powerful than Him. The only thing in the bible that stopped God (Jesus) was when His children call out to Him. When Jesus heard His kids calling, He stopped. We should too.

WHAT STOPS GOD? MATERIALS NEEDED - ENVELOPES, PENS/PENCIL, AND INDEX CARDS FOR ALL KIDS. TO BEGIN - PASS OUT A BLANK ENVELOPE TO EACH TEEN AND TELL THEM TO WRITE THEIR NAME AND ADDRESS ON THE FRONT OF THE ENVELOPE ADDRESSING IT TO THEMSELVES. WHY ARE WE DOING IT? I’LL TELL YOU ...read more

Contributed by Bill Butsko on Jul 21, 2008

This message explains the meaning of real love.

Text: “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” (I John 4:8). The text tells us that “God is love.” We have heard these words many times, but have we given much thought to what they really mean? Is it worldly to believe that “God is love?” I believe the world’s ...read more

Jesus Loves Sinners Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Jesus is the shepherd who loves the sheep whose performance is the worst. He loves in spite of your poor obedience, your poor performance. No one has been more inclusive of sinners than Jesus.

Jesus tells us three stories that arrives at a climax with a return of a son to his family and his father. These three stories, finding a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, form a pyramid where the three show us the same truth but each side shows a different shade and nuance to God’s love. ...read more

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 2, 2008

The cry of the inner child remains the same. We desperately want someone to love us. Love me for me. Charles Spurgeon (English preacher of the 19th century) said, “God chose me before I was born; for he never would have chosen me afterwards!”

The childish art of love – pulling the petals from a flower and reciting, “(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not” – left love to chance. Even rigged it because if you start a certain way you end up where you want to – “(s)he love me!” Prance off feeling hopeful that love has a chance! The cry of the ...read more
