    Loving The Forgiver

    Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Jan 28, 2014
     | 5,929 views

    The great joy of being forgiven is realized and appreciated only when we confess our sins before God.

    This week, we take a look into the original songbook of the church, the Psalms. For centuries, the Psalms have been turned to for comfort, for rebuke, praise. We find in them the right words to speak to God. They speak to our minds and our hearts, because they probe the range of our experiences; ...read more

    The awesomeness of God makes us respect and fear Him, yet His love helps us to hope in Him. So, a look at this Psalm will help us remember it.

    -Bible is a wealth of writing. Different types of literature: history, genealogy, parable, biography, gospel, prophecy, poetry: the Psalms. -The Psalms give us more than just words for neat choruses. They give us the right words to use when we address God! They show us how to express our joy, ...read more

    When God brings us into His kingdom through faith in Christ we become His son or daughter. Because He loves us so much and wants the best for our lives He sometimes brings discipline to us. The fact that we are corrected by our Father is proof

    (ME) Good morning Odessa First – IT’S A GREAT DAY TO SERVE OUR RISEN KING: JESUS CHRIST! If you are with us for the first time this morning let me introduce myself.

    The Love Of A Father

     | 12,030 views

    The love of the father in the story of the Prodigal Son reminds us of God's extravagant love for us

    “The Love of a Father” Luke 15:11-32 The Prodigal Son is possibly the most familiar story in all of Scripture. It at least ranks in the top five. Why is that? Could it be because it is such good news for us? The story is told from all different perspectives but I want to concentrate on ...read more

    God Is Love.

     | 12,549 views

    We may not see God in His own Person, but where there is love, there is the evidence that someone has been born of the Spirit of God.

    GOD IS LOVE. 1 John 4:7-21. Every Sunday as I was growing up in Scotland, I would hear the minister of our church repeat these words from the beginning of 1 John 4:7 - “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” This is one of the tests of true Christianity. We cannot claim to have ...read more

    One of the basic instructions of Jesus is to love one another. Love is the demonstration that we are in Jesus and Jesus is in us.

    1 John 4:7-21 “The Look of Love” INTRODUCTION I read today’s lesson and I was overwhelmed by the number of times that the word “love” appeared. The Beatles song, “All You Need is Love,” popped into my mind and I wondered if this passage of scripture ...read more

    There is no love like the love God has for us!

    “No Greater Love” Romans 8:31-39 31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring ...read more

    It was tax season, and Jane Osinki decided to surprise her husband, Henry, by getting their tax information in to their CPA early.

    The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you (Jeremiah 31:3).

    AN EVERLASTING LOVE. Jeremiah 31:1-6. The book of Jeremiah is mostly, but not exclusively, a book about God’s judgment. The painful ‘rooting out, pulling down, destroying, and throwing down’ spoken of in Jeremiah’s commission was but a purging, to make room for later ‘building and planting’ ...read more

    Loving God

     | 10,549 views

    If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly many people who say they love God don't even really "know" Him.

    Introduction: If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly, they may not even know Him. Words alone are no proof of love. In fact, we use the word love rather loosely, ascribing ...read more

    For The Love Of Pete

    Contributed by Andrew Corbett on Apr 1, 2016
     | 4,898 views

    Following Christ as a leader involves answering one essential question. This question is answered by how we respond to the Enemy's sifting, and how we respond to Christ's impassioned enquiries.

    <h1>For The Love of Pete</h1> Of the many interactions that The Christ had with people, He had two particularly extremely curious conversations with his chief apostle, Peter. Curious may not be the right word. Bewildering may be more apt. One of them required Peter to act, the other required Peter ...read more
