“Plain as the Nose on Your Face” – 1 John 4:7-11

Is the love just another one another, or is it something else.  I venture to say that love is the sum total of all the other one another’s.  Love is the forest and all of the rest of them are the trees.  Join us as we define what biblical love is and learn the reasons why it is important enough to be called the “greatest of these.”  Sermon originally preached on March 13, 2011.

 

“No Rubber Stamps” – Colossians 3:16

Do churches exist to rubber stamp people’s lives?  Do they exist to just encourage people to live however they are living?  NO!  We exist as a church to spur each other on toward love and good deeds, and God has given us tools to do that.  Tools like accountability, encouragement and admonition.  Join us as we explore how to use these tools to move each other on toward maturity  Sermon originally preached on March 6, 2011.

 

“Let It Drop” – Colossians 3:12-13

Forgiveness can be difficult.  But . . . when we understand what Christ did for us, it should make us want to forgive others like he did.  Join us as we explore the nature of forgiveness, the reasons why we should forgive, and some practical ways that we can practice forgiveness in church life.  Sermon originally preached on February 27, 2011.
