What's Love Got To Do With It?

Is This Wrath?

An Excellent and Profitable Message
Pastor Kevin Hodges
Have you ever had that experience where you and someone else are disagreeing on a topic, only to find that the cause of the conflict is a differing of topic definition? What is the definition of 'good'? What is the definition of 'bad', 'positive', 'negative', 'holy', 'sin' etc.? For different people these have different meanings and definitions than they do for other people. Pastor Kevin takes us on a journey to help us clarify a topic that many Christians have differing definitions of.

Know Pain, Know Gain
Romans 5:1-5
This may be the hardest question your soul will ever have to face. Pain makes life feel unfair and leaves us wondering where is God, which is why Paul uses it to help us feel the firm foundation of God's love beneath our feet even when we experience suffering.

Un-Romantic
John 4:1-21
What is the book of Romans really about? Complicated doctrine? Condemning expectations? Confusing regulations? Not at all. It is a beautiful description of the deep supply of God to meet our most basic needs through the simplicity of faith.

God Loves You!
Steve Crouch
