http://stevejaynes.comHello,
Happy Valentine's Day to everybody. As a gift to everybody I'm announcing two new exciting teaching series that are available on my website. One on "How to Handle Conflict Church" and another on "The Love of God", the Agape type of love.
The series on "How to Handle Conflicts in the Church" is a four-part teaching series on how to handle different opportunities within the church. It's a scriptural look through the book of Acts on how the church handled opportunities. As well as what the Church of Epistles say about how to handle conflicts within the church.
The Scriptures show a pattern that we can follow if we want to be able to get along with other members in the church. And that's the first big key in handling these conflicts. It is the want to do it.
I really started to want to learn more about this after my trip to El Salvador last fall. I saw firsthand how fellowships from the Central America countries came together when they had conflicts with each other. How they handled it openly and honestly. I left the meetings with the thought that we can get along if we want to. If we go to the Word of God to see what the Word says. If people with cooler heads can talk to one another, with a soft tone and without being accusative than we can help each other and stand with each other.
In the teaching series I focus on what the scriptures say about how to handle the conflicts. In the book of Acts they did handle conflicts and we're successful at it. Also there are records when they were not successful at it. We can learn from both.
The second teaching series is one that I been thinking about for years. Every February when Valentine's Day was being advertised. I thought of teaching a series on the love of God, the agape type of love.
The Greek word 'agape' has been thought of as the love of God and that's true. But it's so much bigger. It is the love of God in our minds (and here's the big key) it is in action. It's doing something. It's giving of oneself. It's more than just saying I love you. It is showing them that you love them by doing something. The Word of God shows us how to be bigger and better lovers.
What the world needs now is that agape type of love. That's why this series on "The Love of God."
May God bless you abundantly until the next time we meet.
Agape
Steve

Hello Steve....I find it difficult to get along with people who attend church (corner building) ....in the Book of Acts I am convinced that God meant for the Church to be in the home...basically ...and the other thing that enters my mine is..if a person studies to show themselves approved unto God ..there wouldn't be so many disagreements within Christianity...most of my problems have come from within the religious structures on the local block..I cannot count the times I have had difficulties in that arena..I have to call it and arena ...otherwise I would call it a .....but moving on....I do appreciate what you are thinking ....have a great day or night ..whichever comes first ..God Bless you Steve
