    Love
    Jun 28 2026
    Love is not merely a feeling, preference, or sentimental idea. Biblical love is an action rooted in the love God has already shown us. Scripture calls believers to love in several distinct ways: to love the Lord completely, to love our neighbor as ourselves, to love our enemies, to love one another as Christ loved us, and for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not seek its own. Love covers a multitude of sins. Most importantly, love comes from God. Because we are secure in His love, we can risk loving others. Even when they do not love us back. The challenge is clear: love is not only something we receive from God. It is something we are commanded to live out. Sermon Notes Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the Lord your God completely Leviticus 19:18 Love your neighbor as yourself Matthew 5:43 & 44 Love your enemy John 15:12 Love other believers as Christ did Ephesians 5:25 & 26 Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church 1 John 4:7 Love is from God 1 Peter 4:8 Love covers a multitude of sins 1 Corinthians 13: 1 – 13 Love defined

    Faith
    Jun 21 2026
    Biblical faith is not assumption, wishful thinking, or simply believing hard enough for something we want. True faith is believing what God has said and trusting that He will do what He has promised. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Abraham becomes a key example: he obeyed when God called him, journeyed without knowing the full destination, and trusted God even when the promise seemed impossible. Explore saving faith, justified faith, walking by faith, living by faith in Christ, and the honest prayer, “I believe; help my unbelief.” Faith is essential to the Christian life, and Scripture tells us how it grows: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. If you want stronger faith, the answer is not assumption or emotion, it is hearing God’s Word, trusting what He says, and walking in obedience. Sermon Notes Hebrews 11:1 What faith is Hebrews 11:6 Without faith impossible to please God Hebrews 11:8 –10 & 17 – 19 Abram an example of faith Matthew 17:19 & 20 What the size of a mustard seed can faith do Luke 7:40 – 50 Saving faith Romans 5:1 Justified by faith 2 Corinthians 5:6– 9 We walk by faith Galatians 2:20 We live by faith in Christ Habakkuk 2:4 The righteous lives by his faith Mark 9:14 – 24 Help by unbelief Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing the word of God Jude (1) 17 – 21 Build up your most holy faith

    Forgive
    Jun 14 2026
    Forgiveness is one of the hardest things God calls us to do. Many people say unforgiveness harms us emotionally or physically, but Scripture shows that refusing to forgive carries an even deeper spiritual consequence. Jesus commands us to forgive others as God has forgiven us in Christ, not merely once, not only when it feels easy, and not only after someone asks. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus shows the seriousness of receiving mercy while refusing to give mercy. From the cross, Jesus prayed for those crucifying Him before they even asked for forgiveness. And through Joseph’s story, we see how God can take what others meant for evil and use it for good. This sermon challenges us not only to forgive one person, but to become forgiving people, reflecting the heart of our Father, who forgave a debt we could never repay. Sermon Notes Ephesians 4:32 Forgive each other as God has forgiven you Matthew 18:21 – 35 How many times are we forgive & what happens if we don’t Matthew 6:12 We are to pray forgive us as we have forgiven. Matthew 6:14 & 15 If you don’t God. Does not forgive you Luke 23:34 Jesus prays for those who are crucifying Him and they have not even asked for forgiveness
