Today's message is very raw because it was given less than two months after our beloved Pastor Jan went home to be with Jesus. This sermon has followed me now for many years and here are some of the key things to listen for.

Pastor Ray clearly lays out from the scriptures what this life of love look like (primarily from Ephesians 5) and follows up with some examples from his own life. It's important to note that agape love doesn't have sticky hands, which is much different from eros and phileo. The most amazing thing to me as I've listened so many times is how the Holy Spirit demonstrated His love for Pastor Ray. He didn't belittle him, denigrate him or castigate him for his pain but called him to this sacrificial love that we're calling to walk in. Although God is mighty, he is capable of incredible tenderness.

Scriptures: Ephesians 5, Ephesians 1

To act in agape love is to respond to someone else’s need, pay attention to that need, and then do something about it.

Pawson, David. Is John 3:16 the Gospel?

The Kingdom of Cain (October 2006)

The Kingdom of Cain (October 2006) In today's classic sermon, Pastor Ray&n... In today's classic sermon, Pastor Ray distinguishes the "Life on God's Terms" with the "Kingdom of Cain" who wanted to have be in charge of his own life. Despite Cain's great sin, God still called after him and his call is that we lay down our lives in service to Him. Will you be a Cain or a Daniel? God never forces us to serve him but yet he continually calls us to lay down our lives to Him. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/06-25-2016-the-kingdom-of-cain-saturday-sermon-classic-october-2006-2/?feed_id=176&_unique_id=643165783b58a

Judas?

Judas? Judas had a hidden agenda and would... Judas had a hidden agenda and would not accept Jesus for who he is because his expectations were not being met. Have you dealt with this Judas spirit or will you allow it to destroy you? You need not be a Judas but must allow Jesus to fully change you and deal with bitterness, resentment, pride, judgment and/or your lack of love. Do it quickly because this Judas spirit will quickly lead to betrayal and you will become a betrayer. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10162&feed_id=4077

The Amazing Grace of Jesus Christ (October 14, 2015)

The Amazing Grace of Jesus Christ (October 14, 2015) (Note: Since the broadcast on January 7... (Note: Since the broadcast on January 7 further told the story of John Newton, we are posting the broadcast from October 14.) Can God save the worst of us? The hymn Amazing Grace that has touched the lives of millions was written by a very unlikely candidate to have embraced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This beautiful hymn of Grace was written by a slave trader. John Newton was a hardened man who had sailed the world, seen it all and profited from the buying and selling of human beings. Sometimes the very worst can become the very best. Listen to this inspiring story of repentance, forgiveness, redemption and our Lord’s Amazing Grace. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3774&feed_id=4166
