Keeping Erasers Handy
When asked by His disciples how often they should forgive others, Christ told them to forgive “seventy times seven.” Stephen shows us why living by this divine equation can save a broken marriage, a struggling church, and, most importantly, a dying world.
Uncommonly Rare, Undeniably Real
Unlike other valuable possessions, love is never hidden away in a safe, lockbox, or vault. Instead, it is constantly spending itself on others.
Refusing to be Pig-Headed People
So far in our study of 1 Corinthians 13, Stephen has shown us what true love is. In this message, he’ll show us what it isn’t.
Surprised by the Apperance of Love
If the apostle Paul were roaming around your city with a camera, secretly taking snapshots of love in action, would he have any pictures of you in his scrapbook?
Seven Minus One Equals Zero
God says that if you take good attributes such as faith, hope, prophecy, spiritual discernment, worship, mercy, and service, and subtract love from them, you end up with nothing. This is the divine equation: any good work minus love equals zero.
Will True Love Please Stand Up?
There is only one solution to the evils of racism, classism, sexism, sadism, and bigotry, and His name is Jesus Christ.
The Other Side of the Gospel, Part 2
The judgment of God is not an easy topic to discuss. Our sense of self-autonomy ignores it. Our sense of self-righteousness evades it. Our sense of self-worth condemns it. But the apostle Paul reminds his Athenian audience, and us, that the supremacy of God's grace is only understood through the severity of His justice.

Adam and Eve - For Real, Part 2
Today, Christians are considered fools if they believe that the human race came from a man named Adam and a woman named Eve. Monkeys are more fashionable. Billions of years are more intellectual. So you have to make the choice: either stand with culture and transform scripture, or stand with scripture and transform culture.
