    In John 3:16, what kind of a world is Jesus talking about that needs saving?

    Love the World John 3:16-21 John 3:16 rings out loud and clear, “God so loved the world…” As I have traveled to some of our Free Methodist mission work I have witnessed the suffering of different people. I asked myself, “If God loves the world, why does he allow innocent people to suffer?” In ...read more

    As we honor Mother’s today, the one thing that stands out to me as the most divine attribute that God bestowed in women is that of a mother’s love. A mother’s love is nurturing, comforting, sacrificial, and unending.

    A Mother’s Love Proverbs 23:25 “Let your father and your mother be glad, and let her who bore you rejoice.” Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.” Three sons, who were very successful, ...read more

    Is love something you only look to receive, or do you give it to others?

    I don’t remember very much about my life as a young child. I do have some recollection of things, but not very much; and what I can remember seems to be mostly “feelings” or kind of like snap-shots. I don’t remember conversations from then at all. Of course, that still ...read more

    Acts 7:55-60 “The Cost of Love” INTRODUCTION There’s an old saying, “One person’s trash is another’s treasure.” How true this is. This fact of life is what fuels garage sales, thrift stores, and institutions like Goodwill and St Vincent de Paul. Most ...read more

    God tells us that Joseph was a "just man" because he was "unwilling to put (Mary) to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly." What does that mean? And what does difference can it make to our faith?

    OPEN: (We began the service with a clip from the movie "The Star" that showed Mary and Joseph at their wedding party just before Mary is going to tell Joseph that she's pregnant with the Christ Child) There’s a true story about a grade school class that was putting on a Christmas which included ...read more
