The Heart of Love
As Christians we are called to "be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us" (Eph 5:1). But in a world where love is confused with lust and the selfless love of Christ is rarely seen, it is very hard for believers to truly understand what it means "to walk in love." Therefore, this study examines a variety of texts that will give insight and offer encouragement in this most crucial Christian virtue.

Preaching Distinctive". . . we exist to equip the saints through expository preaching, teaching . . ." Saints cannot be equipped for godly living and service apart from precise theology (Ephesians 4:11-16). This is the goal of expository preaching and teaching. The term "exposit" literally means to expound or explain in a detailed manner. Expository preaching is therefore a doctrinal proclamation of the Word of God derived from an exegetical process that is concerned only with the revelation of God, not the wisdom of man, and therefore carefully conveys the God-intended meaning of a text, passionately applying that meaning to the contemporary issues of life with an internal zeal and authority that cannot be extinguished. Although this kind of preaching and teaching is rare in contemporary evangelicalism, since this was the method exemplified in the Bible (Neh. 8:8; Acts 7:2-53; 8:27-35; 20:26-27; Luke 4:16-22; 24:27, 32, 44-47), and since we have a divine mandate to "preach the Word" (2 Timothy 4:2), we believe that this is the God ordained method and we remain committed to it. |
