"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8.

The Love of the Cross Teaches Us to Love Others as They Are, Not as We Demand They Should Be (46 Min)

Title: The Love of the Cross Teaches Us to Love Others as They Are, Not as We Demand They Should Be (46 Min)

Message Description:

“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. I want to explore these words with you today in a few ways. Love comes from God. Jesus demonstrated it. He showed the world what God’s love looks like among men. How our love then now as Christians influences our loves in the world is something worth exploring. I hope to help you do so in this message today. Christianity alone provides the basis for true reconciliation in the world. First with God and then also among men. The Gospel is what truly unites. Nothing can withstand it. The Cross can eliminate all man-made artificial walls of separation. We are taught by Jesus to love others as God has loved us. We love them then just as they are because that’s how God came to us. This changes everything in we’re made wise by it. Blessings!

A wonderful debate where Dr. White makes the case that Islam cannot make its case.
An oldie, but a goodie. This message rocked me when I first heard it roughly 20 years ago now. It's just in audio format, but I'd really like you to give it a listen. Are Roman Catholics our brothers and sisters in Christ, or are they the mission field? You be the judge.
Dr. White always seeks to represent his opponents fairly. As he'd like to be represented by them, he seeks to represent them, and to be a good ambassador for Christ. His debates with many Muslim apologists are of great value to the Christian church. You'll find no shortage of materials from him on the matter. Here's a great talk he gave as an example.
I had to listen to this message twice this morning on my run! I am so humbled by the providences of God in my life. You can either listen to it or watch the video at the link provided. What a precious thing it is to learn what it means to truly "trust in the Lord." The message is called, "A Word to High School Graduates." The title may not indicate it, but I promise you, no matter what stage of life you're in, if you're a disciple, I trust that this will not be time wasted! God bless!!!
Pastor Robert DeHaro did a fantastic job expositing Psalm 46 here! Just wonderful! Scripture gives believers such wonderful reminders of God’s covenant keeping faithfulness. This is a sermon I’d very much love for you to hear. It was delivered on 16 April 23 and is called, “God With Us.”
Christians always fight against abortion.
