    Funeral sermon for Michael Ellis, avid golfer and new believer. God has done definite things in Michael’s life, has provided a definite plan of salvation, and has given the definite gift of eternal life.

    I know almost nothing about the game of golf. I do know that Michael Ellis was an avid golfer. Even there in the hospice it seemed to comfort him to watch golf on television. I’m not sure he appreciated it when I compared looking TV golf to watching the grass grow. He laughed, but I’m not sure ...read more

    Sermon on the biblical definition & power of LOVE

    What's Love Got to do With It? Back in 1984 Tina Turner asked a question that we're going to look into. That year she released her hit song “What's Love Got to do With It?” In this song she tells us that love is nothing “but a second-hand emotion.” That's not at all true. Objects ...read more

    There’s a lot of talk in our world today about the topics of love. You’ll even hear those words used quite a bit by a lot of preachers in a lot of different churches. In fact, Jesus Himself in today’s Gospel reading gives us a commandment to “love one another as I have ...read more

    Everyone is searching for love. But many people are listening to the wrong definition of love. The only one qualified to define love is God for He is the source of all love.

And in their desire to be loved, they will try almost anything. ¡§A young man was determined to win the affection of a lady who refused to ...read more

    With humanity so confused about love, who is to say what love is? The answer is God! One of the simplest and yet most profound definitions of love is found in 1 John 4: "God is love."

    READ 1 John 4:7-21 "God is love" ought to fill our hearts with warmth and hope. But we need to understand this rightly. "God is love" does not mean, that "love is God." It has accurately been said that "love does not define God, but God defines love." Love in modern society bears no resemblance ...read more

    Mercy A Definition of Mercy My own personal definition about mercy is this: Mercy is where we do not really get what we truly deserve.
