Loving One Another

Enthusiasm! Every church should overflow with enthusiasm as it fulfills Christ’s mission. Chuck Swindoll certainly is enthusiastic about the church, and in this two-part series he sets our hearts ablaze with an eagerness to truly love one another.

The first message explores the central question, “What do we do as members of Christ’s church?” The answer: use our gifts. The second message addresses the “how” question. How are we to carry out our gifts? By living in harmony despite our differences.

Grasp the exciting vision of the church as Christ intended! No other institution on earth is as appealing and inspiring as a church where members express their God-given gifts and open their hearts with Christ’s love.

Following Christ . . . The Man of God

April 24 - May 1, 2018

Jesus was the Son of God and the Man of God. He walked the earth as any other person, but, through every word and action, He expressed the nature of God. The scenes recorded in John 6–14 portray a beautiful balance of Jesus’ humanity and divinity. He heals the lame man, feeds the hungry masses, stills the stormy sea, gives sight to the blind, and raises Lazarus from the dead. Such divine power, such human compassion!

John invites us to walk by Jesus’ side as He models love, grace, and humility. Place yourself in each scene. Grasp every detail. It’s impossible to closely follow Jesus and remain unchanged.
