    A Shepherd's Love

     | 7,427 views

    This is a funeral/memorial meditation for the memorial service of a man who died after a life of struggle.

    Memorial Meditation – October 17, 2009 - Psalm 23 I love this passage of Scripture because it speaks of life’s most important and most intimate relationship, that of humanity, of you and me, to our Creator. And rather than use terms like Creator, Almighty One, even the term “God” itself, the ...read more

    Christian Love

    Contributed by Dwight L. Moody on Oct 26, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,498 views

    A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance, power, and indispensibility of Christian love.

    It speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it -- and I think it is very beautiful -- is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering is love enduring. ...read more

    The Loving Church Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009
    based on 18 ratings
     | 21,032 views

    What is church? If I asked you that question this morning how would you answer? In just one word – what would you say? Boring, irrelevant, out of date, hypocritical – or would you say that it is a place of joy, hope, love, companionship, caring?

    On Sunday 31 May – which was Pentecost Sunday, the BBC showed a service from Kingsgate Community Church in Peterborough. It’s quite a large, dynamic, vibrant church and they were holding a baptismal service. The following day, Chris Moyles, who is a Radio 1 DJ who presents the breakfast show ...read more

    Love Is Forgetful Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 24,686 views

    We often think of forgetfulness as a weakness, as a problem. And more often than not that is true. But there is a time when forgetfulness becomes an absolute necessity. Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ He says that love is forgetful.

    In the middle of that list of what love is, Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ (v5). In other words what he is saying is that, as well as being patient, and kind and a whole host of other things – love is also forgetful! –‘ Love - keeps no record of wrongs’ Love is forgetful! Now ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 11,074 views

    What does it mean to wash the feet of others? It means humbling yourself - you get down where the need is – and you do something about it. In our culture the need is not to wash feet as it was in Bible times. But there are many, many practical needs all a

    24 hours to live We’ve all heard the story about the man who received a phone call from his doctor. The doctor said, "I’ve got some bad news and some really bad news." The man said, "tell me the bad news." The doctor said, "The bad news is that I got your test results back and you have only 24 ...read more

    Love Is Determined Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 29, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 17,417 views

    Love does not give up no matter what is faces, no matter the obstacles in its path, no matter what those around you might be saying, love does not give up it is determined.

    I came across an article in the paper this week that had the heading ’Mother’s Love and Determination’. And the sub title ’Refusing to give up, Cynthia Teare helped her son to walk again’. It caught my attention because our theme today is ’Love is... determined’. And it’s the story of an 11 year ...read more

    Love Is A Command Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009
    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,602 views

    Jesus said, ’this is my command: Love one another.’ How does that work? It is easy to see how you can obey a command not to lie, or steal or commit murder – but how can you command somebody to love somebody. How is that possible?

    Verse 12: ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you’. Verse 17: ‘This is my command: Love each other’. One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more

    Fresh Love

     | 3,395 views

    New commandment? I thought love was as old as Genesis. What’s new about Jesus’ commandment to love?

    What’s Fresh about Love? John 13:31-38 When therefore he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

    Could Jesus Christ’s blueprint for life become our own?

    Matthew 5:38-48 “Addicted to Love” There once was a father who had to go out of town… …away from his young family for three or four days on business. Worried that his kids would drive his wife mad, he had a word with his oldest son, who was nine at the ...read more

    The essentially positive nature of biblical law is seen in Jesus’ dealing with the rich young ruler: "What good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” Jesus met him on his own ground, saying, “Don’t do this and don’t do that... But if you are

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,665 views

    Our knowledge and our faith should always be growing, expanding, as we look daily “as through a ‘glass darkly” until that time when God will reveal the answers to all our questions.

    How much does love really matter in truth telling?

    Introduction It is a simple phrase, a brief phrase, one in which, if it had been omitted, would not have been missed. Nevertheless, it has always caught my eye, perhaps for the very reason that it seems expendable. Look with me at verse 15. Text Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow ...read more
