    Today’s topic is at the very core of Christianity. It speaks of how we interpret our world as Christians and look beyond what is temporary.

    Today’s topic is at the very core of Christianity. It speaks of how we interpret our world as Christians and look beyond what is temporary. As we wake up every morning, and the gears of our brain and heart starts to function, we are solely watched by God and not assessed by those around ...read more

    If you discovered that you had only five minutes left to say all that you wanted to way, what would you say - and to whom?

    The disciples saw love perfected in Jesus, were able to live it themselves and now testify how love is perfected in us and describes how it looks in a fallen world.

    Perfected 1 John 4:14-21 • It is really one of the most uncomfortable positions a family can be in. • I don’t desire to pull off any memory bandages before wounds heal, but the seriousness of this topic demands it. • We have all visited a family in the hospital who was faced ...read more

    A sermon about God's agape love and our call to live it.

    “What God Is and What God Is Not” 1 John 4:7-21 I served an extremely diverse and great congregation for 6 years in Newport News, Virginia. We came from just about every ethnic group and socio-economic background. One day I was visiting with a young, single mother who was active ...read more

    The highest calling of any person is to fully love God from our hearts. This message extends that theme as we show our love for God by our love to each other.

    THE SECOND GREATEST COMMANDMENT Matthew 22:36-40; 1 John 4:7-21 Dorn Ridge February 16, 2014 INTRODUCTION: 1.) In my message last week as we were leading up to valentine’s Day we looked at “The Greatest Commandment.” A.) We saw that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord ...read more

    1 John: Chapter Four Doctrinal Test of Spirits (1-6)

    1 John: Chapter Four Doctrinal Test of Spirits (1-6) John addresses the recipients again as beloved, his favorite term of endearment.

    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

    Love is something we could never do without help from someone who is really good at it. Because of God’s love for each of us, we have the ability to love God and others.

    Able to Love 1 John 4:7-21 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 19, 2014
     | 4,822 views

    We need to perceive what true love is and then live it out in our lives. When we do this we encounter God and please God. We also see lives transformed and changed!

    Theme first ¼ - True Life Thesis: True life – a life that matters for eternity and pleases God is one which is based and rooted in truth. Jesus said he is the “Truth.” He is God’s truth to this world and all measurement of true and false are measured against Him and His ...read more

    True love comes from Almighty God.

    Text: “Love has been perfected among us…” (v. 17) How long has love been around? How would you answer that question? We have all experienced love in some form. Our families love us. As babies, we had parents who loved us. As we grew older we “fell in love” with a particular person. Love has ...read more

    Independence Day 1986: Fear leads to oppression, and vice versa. We overcome our fears by discovering the love that empowers us in the sacrificial death of Christ.

    I've noticed that what older people fear is very much like what small children fear. Older people fear going out alone into the darkness; they are afraid they cannot find their way, they are afraid they may have some kind of difficulty and will be vulnerable to people with evil intentions. ...read more

    Something is missing from the church today, and people are starting to notice. Too often the church fails to offer what it advertises: life.

    2. The Greatest Commandment February 21, 2010 Love your Neighbor I find it amusing when people talk about the loving feeling they have for each other. We often think of love as this warm blanket on a cool winter night. Love is like snuggling up to a fire it just fills you with nice toasty ...read more
