Next Sermon Series: Learning to Love Like Jesus

learn-love

February 2.  It starts with loving ourselves ~ John 4.
Jesus had no trouble loving himself as he is perfect love.  For most of us we’re more like the Woman at the Well.  Let’s see how Jesus helped her learn to love herself and do the same.

February 9.  What kind of love ~ 1 Corinthians 13.
It’s easy to say I love you if or I love you when but that’s not Jesus love.  His is unconditional.  Let’s look at what that really means this Sunday.

February 16.  Loving the unloveable. ~ Matthew 8:1-4
Jesus said “Love your enemies.”  That means I have to learn to love the unloveable.  It’s impossible!  Or is it?

February 23.  Loving the loveable ~  John 12:1-8
Sometimes it’s easy to love those around.  To what extent do we really have to love another.  Surely there are limits.  Or are there?

John Wesley Quote

wesley-dream

 

 

“Never dream of forcing men into the ways of God. Think yourself, and let think. Use no constraint in matters of religion. Even those who are farthest out of the way never compel to come in by any other means than reason, truth, and love.”

~John Wesley (Sermon 37 “The Nature of Enthusiasm”).

Sing ‘n Celebrate ~ Celebration of Children

sing-n-celeb-kids320

Sing ‘n Celebrate Celebration of Children at October 6 at 6:30 (Note time change)

We read in Matthew 7:12 – “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you”, which is commonly known as the Golden Rule.

This statement, as Jesus formulated it, is the foundation of active goodness and mercy — the kind of love God shows to us every day.

We have a special opportunity next Sunday to be witness to our children and grandchildren demonstrating in words and acting this type of love.
