…and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge…                                                                                                      Ephesians 3:19a Have you noticed that God’s Word makes statements that defy human logic and reason? Statements such as, “The last will be first and the first will be last” (Matthew 20:16), “whoever wishes to save his life…

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.                                                                                                                   John 13:34-35 We end the week…

Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no…

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to…

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.                                                 …

…being rooted and grounded in love…                                                 Ephesians 3:17b In the Christian life, love is everything. This week we will be taking a biblical look at love and why the Bible describes love as an imperative for those who follow Jesus. The strength of a tree is not in its branches rather its stability…

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”                                                                                                               Romans 10:11-13 We…

Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness…                                                                                                                               Romans 4:4-5 I have to admit,…

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.                                                 …

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.                                                         …
