    This sermon explores Jesus' response to the question about the greatest commandment, emphasizing the importance of loving God and one's neighbor, and how these two commandments encapsulate all others.

    The occasion and context: A Jewish expert on the Torah—the Law—asked Jesus which was the most important commandment, and at the time there were a lot to choose from… The Ten Commandments, of course, which we’ve all heard of before. But also, people just like this man—they were called Scribes—had ...read more

     | 5,658 views

    Our world today has abandoned the truth. As a church, we need to wake up! We need to be standing up for the truth, sharing the truth with the world through God’s love.

    Many in our country today are claiming to be “woke”. Being “woke” started as being attune to racist behaviors and attitudes several years ago. As a Christian, we should all be opposed to racism, treating people differently because of their skin color, their accent, their family heritage, or where ...read more

    The love we sow is the love we will reap. One of the marks of the church is the love which members show to one another, We are called to love one another as Christ loves us, and Paul speaks to this in his letter to the church at Galatia.

    As Christians, we are called- even commanded- to love one another as Christ loves us. This is a daunting task, but it is also the seed we must sow. The good news is that we can do it- if we become new creations in Christ, we can show His love to others in meaningful and concrete ways. This morning, ...read more

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more
