Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Jim Sole

A Church of First Love

This Lord’s Day, we begin a series in the New Testament Book of 1 Thessalonians. In this church, we see a wonderful flock of Jesus’ sheep living out first love for Him and people under the good pastoral leadership of first love leaders. Lord willing, we will enter a church to model if we want to make our difference for Christ in our culture and generation.

Indications of a Lukewarm Heart

In part eight of our series, we continue looking at the Christian response to what is happening in our world. And the most important response is for the church of Jesus Christ to be the church of Jesus Christ. This is defined as His people living out first love to Him in power and influence. This Lord’s Day, we do the hard work of self-examination to see if we have lost first love and thus offer the world no life-giving hope in the love of Christ.
