Forgotten Virtue: Learning to Love Again – Part 2: The Love God Hates – Woodside Bible Church Lake Orion - Pastor Steve Zarrilli

We often hear that God is love - and He is! But our world has a way of twisting something God created into a thing He never intended it to be. And our understanding of love is no exception.

Today, we continue in our series, The Forgotten Virtue: Learning to Love Again, by looking to 1 John 2 for the truth about love. Listen with us in our newest message, The Love God Ha...

Giftwrapped – Part 4: The King Who Serves – Woodside Bible Church

Unshakeable - Part 4: This Is God's House - Woodside Bible Church Lake Orion - Pastor Jim Dahlke

Tragically, often church culture has transformed into a spectator sport.

Assembly Require - Part 2 - The Joy of Confession - Pastor Jim Dahlke

Have you ever had to forgive someone who wasn't really sorry? Not the easiest thing to do and ultimately that relationship will never be the same.

Assembly Required - Part 1 - We Are What We Love - Pastor Jim Dahlke

How do you know what your priorities really are? We prioritize what we delight in. The things that give us the greatest joy, we tend to meditate on. The same is true for the church when we gather. What we delight in most, what we value most, is what we prioritize, even when we gather as a church body. We should be asking the question, do our revealed delights match what we declare as a priority while in church? Discover more in this sermon, We Are What We Love.
