Rev. Alan Witham, Regional Consultant for the Central Region of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, brings God's message today. Using the account of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch from Acts 8:26-40, he reminds us that we are independently responsible to obey Christ by taking the gospel to every person. and he challenges us to be obedient to Christ. The eternal destination of our world and our community is at stake.

This message closes our series on "Love One Another" with the title, "Like Jesus." Using Matthew 23:1-12 and 37-39 we learn how we can follow Jesus' example in loving other and to what end.

In our series, Love One Another, we come to the end of chapter 13 of 1 Corinthians where were are reminded "...that the greatest of these is love." We have a quick review of the chapter and see Paul's emphasis that love is the greatest of all attributes. Then we look at Matthew 22:34-40 and see Jesus' comment on what are the greatest laws. Put simply, Jesus says Love, love for the Father and love for our neighbor.

Continuing our series on Love One Another we look at the difference in being selfish versus selfless with our love. We consider Jesus' selfless act leaving heaven to being us redemption and forgiveness as an example of our love for others.

Our message this week comes from Galatians 5:22-26 and 1 Corinthians 13:4 on being a Peaceable person as we continue our series on Love One Another. To be peaceable we must put aside envy, conceit, boasting, and a manner that provokes others to rage. Listen as we learn how to bring peace to our world instead of strife.

Today we continue our series on Love One Another by looking at the act of kindness. Being kind to one another goes beyond holding a door open, our speech to and about others is another factor in being kind. Ephesians 4:29-32 is our scripture basis for today's message.

Continuing in our series, Love One Another, today's topic is patience.  Iniitially the question is answered,  Why is it so important to God that we demonstrate love to others. Then we see the differences in patience and how patience with others can be developed and improved.

Jesus, "By this all men shall know you are my disciples, if you have love one for another." Repeatedly, Jesus taught that we need to practice love to everyone. Today, using 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 as a springboard, we look at the command to love one another. This is the opening sermon of a series on loving one another. Next week we will consider the instruction to be patient.

God is a just God and as a just God He must punish sin. But he is a merciful God and he has provided a way for man to be forgiven of his sin and made whole again. Watch as we look at these two sides of God.
