James 2:10-13 (NASB) 10 For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a violator of the Law. 12 So speak, and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom. 13 For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

James 2:1-13 (NASB) 1 My brothers and sisters, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and is dressed in bright clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in, 3 and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the bright clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” 4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives? 5 Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters: did God not choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? 7 Do they not blaspheme the good name by which you have been called? 8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the Law as violators. 10 For whoever keeps the whole Law, yet stumbles in one point, has become guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do murder, you have become a violator of the Law. 12 So speak, and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom. 13 For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

In response to the love of God for us, we are called to genuinely love others. But what does that actually look like?

In response to the love of God for us, we are called to genuinely love others. But what does that actually look like?

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Rush is going to go on tour again, with a keyboard player and with a new drummer Anika Nilles… only 7 cities named so far in the US…   But with that I once heard someone say the only thing harder to keep together than a marriage is a band…    You don't get married for a Good Time, you get married for a long time.    You don't get married to have kids, you get married to learn how not to be a kid, act like a kid, pout like a kid, complain like a kid,  You don't raise kids, they raise you.      If there is one major flaw in todays world of love and marriage - and trust me you could name a few dozen… but after 41 years of counseling I would simply say the number one major flaw in marriages is that they did not understand the amount of hard work it would take to have a loving successful marriage. It does not come naturally, it does not just happen when you find the right person, it is hard no matter who you marry and every great relationship put in great amounts of painstaking hard work.  Painful communication, lots of compromise, more then you might ever guess as far as having to forgive again and again and again.    So again talking about how we model for our spouse what God models for us to make our relationships work.    ## 4. **Forgiveness **   * *Christ:* 1 John 1:9 — He is faithful to forgive. * *Marriage:* Colossians 3:13 — forgive as the Lord forgave you.   **Teaching Point:** Forgiveness is the oxygen of both relationships.   **Activity:** Share a time when forgiveness restored peace in your marriage.     #5 Grace Grace is the oil to any good relationship. Grace says you made a mistake, but I knew you would when I married you and I still choose to love you and not hold it against you. Christ died for our sins knowing we would still mess up and hurt him. But his loving kindness leads us to repentance. Our love for our spouse when they least deserve it leads them to back into a loving relationship with us. Have you ever hated your spouse back into your arms? Have you ever be grudged your spouse back into your arms? Have you ever punished your spouse back into your arms? HOW DID THAT WORK FOR YOU?    Gods ways are best not only between he and a sinful world, but also between me and a sinful spouse… oh and also for me a sinner as well. 

The sermon emphasizes the assurance of boldness and confidence at the judgment seat of Christ, attainable through faithful adherence to biblical doctrine, selfless service, and a love for God that mirrors Christ's own sacrifice. Drawing from 1 John and 2 Timothy, the message underscores the importance of enduring hardship, rejecting worldly temptations, and embracing humility, ultimately revealing a commitment to God's will and a desire to reflect His character in a world marked by rejection and fleeting pleasures. The speaker encourages listeners to pursue a mature faith, characterized by consistent action and a willingness to share the gospel, leading to a life of assurance and a hope for eternal reward.

The sermon emphasizes the vital, yet often overlooked, necessity of actively engaging with God's Word to experience spiritual nourishment, asserting that mere attendance at church does not guarantee feeding. Drawing from 1 John and Proverbs, it highlights the Word as a personal love letter from God, and underscores the importance of receiving and sharing this love, ultimately leading to boldness and confidence at the judgment seat of Christ. The message explores the concept of rewards—crowns of life, righteousness, and incorruptibility—earned through enduring trials, leading souls to Christ, and steadfastly upholding sound doctrine, encouraging listeners to seek God's will and remain accountable for the opportunities presented to them.

The sermon explores the profound comfort and assurance found in Christ, emphasizing his role as counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Drawing from 1 John 3 and Isaiah 9, it argues against relying on human counsel or psychology, instead urging listeners to cultivate an intimate relationship with Christ as their refuge and source of strength. The message highlights the believer's confident hope for eternity, promising purification and righteousness through faith, and ultimately, a glorious reunion with Christ where they will rule and reign with him, experiencing his power and love magnified beyond measure.

The sermon explores the profound implications of being a Christian, emphasizing that salvation immediately transforms believers into saints, destined for a glorious future mirroring Christ's likeness. Drawing from 1 John 3:2 and Isaiah 9:6, the message highlights the promise of seeing God's wonderfulness and receiving His counsel, ultimately culminating in a resurrected body free from earthly limitations and united with Christ in heaven. The speaker encourages listeners to cultivate a deep relationship with Christ, trusting Him as their ultimate counselor rather than relying on external sources, and to actively share the gospel, fulfilling their mandate to be conformed to Christ's image.

The sermon explores the profound implications of being a child of God, emphasizing faith, hope, and love as intertwined aspects of salvation.

How does she respond to this temptation? What does this response show us not only about her, but about high-control American Christianity? How does it illustrate the ways in which high-control religion invariably masks exercises of power and authority as “love”? Check out this week's episode to find out.

But what, exactly, does she think the Bible is, and how does she believe we should read it? She gives us an important insight into this when she claims that everything in the Bible is what Jesus taught. But what can that possibly mean? And how does it relate to her promotion of a homophobic reading of the Bible? And what problems and ethical issues arise if we understand the Bible in these terms? And finally, does the Bible really advance the homophobic teachings Stuckey says it does? Check our this week's episode as Dan dives into these issues.

Throughout her chapter, she asserts that marriage equality marks a departure from “biblical” or “traditional” marriage, from a model of marriage that has decisively shaped the Christian West from the time of Jesus and before, and that it should therefore be resisted at all costs. As Dan argues in this episode, the problem with this view is that it simply isn't true. There has never been a clear, unequivocal “biblical” view on marriage, and understandings of marriage within the Christian tradition have evolved and changed from the time of Christ right up to the present day. Listen in to hear more about this, and why this matters for confronting the anti-LGBTQ+ agenda of Stuckey and those on the religious and cultural right.

No Greater Love

The sermon emphasizes the vital importance of mutual encouragement and edification within the Christian community, drawing from Hebrews 3:13 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11 to advocate for daily exhortation, prayer, and kindness as pathways to spiritual growth. Rooted in the Greek language, the message highlights the interconnectedness of comfort and exhortation, urging believers to build one another up through doctrine and service rather than self-esteem, and to extend grace and love even to those who are difficult. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, emphasizing repentance and faith as the foundation for salvation and a life illuminated by God's Word.

The sermon centers on the critical importance of love and forgiveness within the Christian community, asserting that persistent complaining, gossiping, and finding fault with others stem from a fundamental lack of love rather than legitimate concerns. Drawing from 1 John, it emphasizes that harboring hatred blinds individuals to truth and hinders spiritual growth, while confessing sins and forsaking those feelings allows for cleansing and restoration. Ultimately, the message calls for reciprocal love, daily exhortation, and a commitment to acting in accordance with God's word, rather than being enslaved by selfish desires and hardened through deceitfulness.

The sermon emphasizes the paramount importance of love as the defining characteristic of Christian discipleship, drawing from 1 John 2:7-11 and echoing Jesus's commandment to love one another as He loved. It frames love not as a feeling but as a deliberate choice, contrasting genuine love—which illuminates and prevents stumbling—with hateful attitudes that lead to darkness and spiritual blindness. The message connects this commandment to foundational biblical themes like the Golden Rule, the royal law, and the fulfillment of the law, ultimately portraying love as the distinguishing mark of Christians and a vital element in evangelization, surpassing even familial bonds through the sacrifice of Christ.
