What the Cross Says about God's Love (2 of 6)
by Jonathan McLeod
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die--but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. GOD IS LOVE If someone were to ask you, ''''What is love?'''', how would you define it? The English word ''''love'''' has many different meanings. (For example, ''''love'''' can mean ''''a score of zero in tennis.'''') When I was a kid, I occasionally watched the TV show Pee Wee''s Playhouse. On the show, if someone said, ''''I love that book,'''' Pee Wee...
God's Outrageous Love
by Bob Wickizer
''Blessed is the one who can love all people equally … always thinking good of everyone.'' (St. Maximos the Confessor 580-682) Less than twenty years after the crucifixion, James the brother of Jesus wrote the letter you just heard. He talks about choosing sides and favoritism when it comes to the poor. But this is a process we do in all walks of life and we need to address the issue of playing favorites. When serving in the Diocese of Washington DC, I managed to inadvertently cause an international uproar in the Anglican Church. The whole story is too long to detail here but the core of the story involved a...
The Mad Love of God
by Robert Walker
Andrew Greenly the author writes this way in a moment of flashing illumination Greenly says, "Our God is not patiently standing by and waiting for us to offer love but He is actively and vigorously perusing us. In the Old Testament we see this God of grace wheeling and dealing in the desert seeking men. And in the New Testament the Father running down the trial to embrace the prodigal son before he can speak is constriction. The mad farmer showering a full days wage on men who haven't even work. Jesus forgiving the sinful woman even before she spoke her sorrow are all symbols of God who love for us is so...
The Love of God
by Jesse Hendley
Today my subject is "Walking with God in the Love of God." The greatest book in all the world on LOVE is the Bible. The greatest, most heart-warming truth in the Bible is the truth of the love of God. There are many great statements in the Bible about love. Paul's words in I Corinthians 13 are some of the greatest. I do not know of a clearer, more searching, and more blessed revelation about love than is presented in this wonderful chapter. We need it, need to study it, need to live it. However, to my own soul, I John 4:7-21 is the sweetest, most glorious and comforting revelation from God about His heart of love toward...
No Greater Love (8 of 8)
by Jeff Schreve
I heard about a lady. She owned and operated her own nursery. And she said that one day a 4 year-old girl was brought in for her to watch during the day, to take care of during the day, and this girl was different from other girls. She was born in a prison. Her mother was incarcerated for drugs and had taken drugs all throughout her pregnancy, and so this little baby was born and she was a ''crack'' baby. And she had many, many problems and she had many fears. And she never spoke to any of the people at the nursery. And she would have fits of rage. Well, they brought her in. And the proprietor of the nursery instantly took...
God's Loyal Love (1 of 2)
by Doug Tegner
Something deep within us is moved when we see a loyal love spurned. Turn to HOSEA. Begin series on MINOR PROPHETS. Setting Time of outward prosperity Successful in wars Increased projects in the land Multiplied fortresses Agriculture Flourished Expansion of the land; had annexed new territory But people substituted outward (external) forms for the inward realities All types of sin were rampant. Great moral and spiritual decline was evident. Hosea preaches during this lowered spiritual life and moral decline. Story: READ 1:2-3 First recorded command of God to this prophet Marry this woman know for her...
The Love of God (4 of 6)
by Ken Trivette
When a person sets out to learn about God, that person begins a journey that will take them down many paths. God is so great and so magnificent that when a person travels down one path, they find that it only opens into numerous other paths, with each additional path leading into even more numerous paths. It will not take a person long in his quest to know God to join with the Psalmist in saying, ‘‘Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable’’ (Psalm 145:3). 2. When a person begins such a quest, it will not be long that they will come face to face with the love of God. The simple truth is, that no...
The Prisoner of God's Love (2 of 10)
by Donald Cantrell
''A certain medieval monk announced he would be preaching next Sunday evening on ''The Love of God.'' As the shadows fell and the light ceased to come in through the cathedral windows, the congregation gathered. In the darkness of the altar, the monk lighted a candle and carried it to the crucifix. First of all, he illumined the crown of thorns, next, the two wounded hands, then the marks of the spear wound. In the hush that fell, he blew out the candle and left the chancel. There was nothing else to say.'' Source Unknown Introduction: In this passage we find that the apostle Paul refuses to esteem himself as an...
God Is Love, I Am Loved (3 of 8)
by Lenny Ports
Continuing in our sermon series we are calling GOD IS…. I AM…. Today's message is regarding the love of God. God is LOVE, therefore, I am loved. Last week, when we said that God is the ''I AM'' He is everything you need and He is all things to His people at all times. So we conclude that when God is your I AM, He imparts to you that aspect of His being that you need. So when you are sick, He is your Healer. When you are lost, He is your Savior, When you are attacked by the enemy, He is your deliverer. And when you need love, He is love. The Bible doesn't say that He has love although He does. It doesn't say He...
A Miracle of God's Heart (6 of 16)
by Richard Bradley
We can discover a lot about God in the Old Testament. We can certainly know that He exists and that as the Creator He possesses unlimited power. Also, we can know something of His ethical demands on the lives of His followers. As someone has well said, ''The Ten Commandments are not God's ten suggestions.'' While we can discover a lot about God in the Old Testament we can never really get to know Him. Under the terms of the old covenant He is the God of Mt. Sinai. At the mountain of God, on the pain of death, His own people were commanded to come only so close to Him but no closer. It's really hard, if not...
God's Love for Sinners
by Patrick Edwards
Why is Christmas such a big deal? I mean take away the decorations, the presents, the music, scrap it all. It's the middle of night, in some remote tiny town, and a poor family gives birth to a baby boy. Luke tells us that angels appeared in the night's sky as a result with a multitude as they sing in a most fantastic chorus, ''Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.'' I mean what's the big deal?Why has the church made such a big deal about Christmas? I mean isn't Easter more important? That's at least marks the death and resurrection of Jesus. I mean I guess we could say then that...

Powerful Love (39 of 52)
by Christopher Harbin
We talk a lot about love. The radio broadcasts songs day in and day out that attempt to describe and portray love. Our entertainment venues can't seem to offer anything that does not contain at least some aspect of a love story. The angst of teen romance seems the basis for most of these caricatures of love portrayed, and yet it is but one slice of love and a poor understanding of it at that. Under this barrage of messages about and descriptions of love, we may often find ourselves misunderstanding the character of love, exchanging it for some lesser category. Traditionally, we have spoken of distinctions in the understanding...
Remember God (39 of 40)
by Stephen Whitney
An older man said, recently I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D which stands for: Age Actived Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests itself: I decided to water my lawn. As I turned on the hose in the driveway, I looked over at my car and decided it needed to be washed. As I started toward the garage, I noticed that there was mail on the porch table that I had brought up from the mail box earlier. I decided to go through the mail before I washed the car so I laid my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and...
Real Love (17 of 19)
by Michael White
Remind ushers to come down I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect....9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope...
Clothed in His Love (5 of 7)
by Dave Gustavsen
Good morning. Welcome to The Chapel. Has anybody been watching the NCAA basketball tournament this weekend-March Madness? Once again, the number one ranked team is Duke, coached by the legendary Mike Krzyzewski, who's considered one of the best of all time. You know what Coach Krzyzewski is known for? Fundamentals. Basics. Passing. Dribbling. Defense. They say the drills that he does in practice have not changed in 30 years. And that approach has produced incredible success. The best high school players in the nation want to play for Coach K, and the team just keeps winning. So here's my point...

If you have a Bible turn to I John 4 verse 16, and you have an outline that you can use as a guide. Some of the passages you will find on our outline...
A Celebration of God’s Love (9 of 9)
by Scott Maze
The Psalms were sung on board of the ship when the Pilgrims set sail in the Mayflower. The Bay Psalm Book was the third book printed in America. Until the end of the eighteenth century the Psalms were exclusively sung in churches. It was Psalm 127 that Benjamin Franklin quoted in 1787 as he moved in his request for prayer because of the difficult work in framing the United States Constitution. And if you could have one book, many would say: The one book would be the Psalms. Join with me in a celebration of God's Love. Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever...
The Adoptive Love of the Father (1 of 5)
by Drew Hunter
Hosea is a book about the love of God and the treachery of our wrongdoing. It is about the character of God and the character of us... and how the gap between the two magnifies his love for us. THE PATTERN OF JUDGMENT TO GRACE There is a pattern that the book of Hosea follows that we need to see from the outset. If we don't see this pattern, we'll miss the whole point of the book. The content of the book is deep, but the pattern is simple. It's a two-beat rhythm of judgment and grace. This pattern repeats itself several times through the book. We'll be walking through this in six sections, and this is the...
