“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”
Many of us have sung these words from our youth and yet struggle to feel the love of God. These sermons on the love of God by Pastor Colin Smith will help you see His love for you in Jesus Christ.
You are grinding out life—work, relationships, and church. But what happened to your love for the Lord? In Enjoying the Love of Christ, Pastor Colin helps us see how we can lose (and gain back!) our love for the Lord.
If you’ve ever struggled to believe in Jesus, you’re not alone. Scripture is filled with accounts of this struggle, including the story of “Doubting” Thomas. From Thomas’s account in John 20, Pastor Colin addresses why people struggle to believe, how the resurrection speaks to our struggles, and how Christ shows His love to doubters.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance. (2 Thessalonians 3:5)
It’s possible to sit in church every week for 20 years and still not feel the love of Christ. Some people are just gritting their teeth, but you can experience more of the love of God. This sermon helps you learn how.
Do you ever worry, Christian, that Christ will get tired of you? You can be sure that will never happen. Pastor Colin Smith explores Jesus’ promise, “Whoever comes to me, I will never drive away.” Find out what this means for you in this message.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38–39)
Do you feel that your future with God is hanging in the balance? Pastor Colin talks about what God says to every believer from Romans 8:28–39, and how your uncertainty about this will undermine your experience of his love.

Watch the powerful story of the thief on the cross today
The thief’s story of salvation is one that begins, literally, on the brink of hell. The pain this man had experienced throughout his life fueled his hate for God, so much so that he detested the man hanging there on the cross beside him. But then, for the first time, he began to fear God.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar place, there is hope. Hope because heaven is real, hope because we have a Savior, and hope because all you have to do is accept Jesus’ invitation.
