Sermons About Love
The Incomparable Riches of His Grace
After some very lofty praise of our glorious God, the Apostle Paul turns his attention to us. The outlook is grim as we are described as dead, enslaved, and condemned. By verse 4 though, Paul looks back to God and describes how in Jesus the dead receive life, the enslaved are set free, and the condemned are forgiven. All of this is a gift from God to be received and enjoyed. But this great gift of salvation comes with responsibilities. We are called to leave the path that we had been walking on and begin to walk out a life that pleases God and is productive for His purpose.

Do Good: World
Like Jonah, sometimes God calls us to go to places we don't want to go to do impossible tasks that we already know God will take care of in the end. Though God's mercy endures forever and God holds all things in accordance to his will, still God calls us to go.

Living the Real Life the Right Way
The right way to Real Life comes through a changed life and a life of love. The key to discovering Real Life through love is asking God to soften your heart. Also remember your need for love and forgiveness and search for love from a power beyond humanity. You must pray for a holy entrance and trust in a holy God. The right way to Real Life is through a cleansed life.

The Church and Love
Ephesians 5 describes the relationship of Jesus with His Church as like that between a husband and his bride. We see the nature of God's love for us in the sacrificial and sanctifying love that Jesus displays for His Church and we are drawn to emulate this in our relationship with the other members of His Church, our brothers and sisters in Christ - no matter how hard that might be for us on a human level.

The One
It’s interesting how our culture thinks we should pick a marriage partner on the basis of who we like or “love”. We think we can make a wise choice on marriage when we have never been married. We think we can choose our life mate when we don’t even know who we are ourselves, much less who we will become. What are we attracted to when it comes to finding a husband or wife?

A Father's Heart
It's no secret that father's have a tremendous amount of influence over how we experience life. Their affect can be very good or very bad. Every one of us is impacted by what we believe our fathers think of us. Fortunately for all of us, we have a heavenly Father who longs to show us how valuable we are. From this relationship comes a life lived "from approval" rather than "for approval", which makes all the difference in the world when it comes to healthy, vibrant living.

Life After the Storm
If we are going to reach out with the love of Jesus to the community around us we will not be able to avoid the topic of divorce. All of us have been affected either directly or indirectly by the breakdown of the family, and we desperately need to understand HOW to respond to a broken, hurting world. Unfortunately, a marriage failure often brings a "double whammy" in that there is first the very real pain of the breakup, and secondly, an equally great pain that the church does not know how to respond. May God give us grace to learn. Key Passage: Psalm 34:18

Dealing With Difficult People
In Matthew 5:43-47 Jesus tells us that we should love our enemies - the difficult people in our lives- not just the ones that are easy to love. We need to see people as God sees them and do as God does using tender love, tough love and loving from a distance. When we see as God sees, we're going to do as God does.

The Lord is My Shepherd
Sheep are famous for being stupid, helpless, and timid animals. They need a shepherd to lead them to food, water, and rest, to track down the lost sheep, to protect them from predators and give them a sense of safety. The Bible compares us to sheep and it not a compliment. We too can be panicky, wayward, and incapable of taking care of ourselves. The great news is that the almighty God who created the universe cares deeply about each one of us, and if we put our trust in Him He will be our shepherd, providing for our needs, protecting us, and guiding us through even the darkest of circumstances.

Ruth 4.1-12
Every great love story has obstacles, and the blossoming love of Ruth and Boaz is no exception. Though Boaz is fully intent on marrying Ruth, he is also a man who loves God's law and wants to do things the right way. There is a redeemer who is nearer to Ruth and has the first right of redemption. Fortunately for Boaz and Ruth, this man is a total fool, and Boaz easily moves him out of the way in order to wed Ruth.

A Worshipping Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.
