First Love Church

Acts 10:9-38

This account challenges our thinking the same way today as it did when the church was young. Peter has a divine encounter and obeys what He acknowledges is God's direction. And subsequently Cornelius and the large congregation in his home hear the good news and are filled with the Holy Spirit.

There is a challenge today that asks us to hear the message and open wide our gates.  The message is even better than we dared imagine and it is for everyone!

Matthew 3:13-17

The Father is pleased- and declares the Son is beloved. There is much to learn and to follow in the Jesus way of interacting with world.  John baptizes Jesus and we see here Jesus' willingness to participate in the plan that God had put into motion.   

We choose to remember our truest identities- beloved daughters, beloved sons. All of us beloved.
