Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi, this is Pastor Ken thanks for joining me once again for the Monday Marriage Message where we search God’s instructions to experience a highly successful marriage. For the past six episodes we have been exploring 7 Biblical Principles for a Highly Successful Marriage. Other than the first principle I shared with you, Compatibility, I must admit, there has been no prioritization given to the principles that followed. I simply allowed the Holy Spirit to guide where in His inspired word and which of His Principles He would have me share next. However, as a part of the process, As...

Hi, this is pastor Ken, thanks for joining me for my Monday Marriage Message…Love Does…Love Does Not… 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, &13 reads as follows: Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails… And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. As an...

Hi, this is pastor Ken, thanks for joining me for another Monday Marriage Message. This week we are finishing up with our study of the attributes of love according to 1 Corinthians 13. The final attribute of love as found there in verse 8 is this…Love never fails. This verse goes on to mention some other very important activities and implies that they all have an endpoint or limitations. I believe this to be written in contrast to love. These things can fail, or in other words not withstand the tests of time, but love, real love, perfected love…never fails....

Dr. Ronald K. Powell

It's easy to love people who love you back. But then there are times when it's not so easy to love. The times you have been hurt and wronged. Are you still supposed to love someone who hurts you? And, if so, how? Listen to Dr. Powell as He unlocks how to love the unlovable.

Title: A Pastor’s Hope Text: 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 FCF: We often struggle trusting the Lord to raise up godly attributes in us. Prop: Because godly pastors hope for what God promises to give His true children, we must have this hope for ourselves. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to 1 Thessalonians chapter 3. In a moment we’ll begin reading in verse 11 from the Legacy Standard Bible. You can follow along in the pew bible or in whatever version you prefer. Last week we saw how Paul’s pastoral concern was assuaged by the good news that Timothy...

Hi, this is Pastor Ken and these are my thoughts on a Thursday…Today the thoughts I want to share with you are surrounding The Business of Logistics Whenever my wife Lynn and I travel to our summer cottage in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia, efficiency dictates that we travel down through the Shenandoah Valley on Interstate 81. As we travel along there are seemingly as many semi-trucks as there are cars…sometimes more. Logistics companies or independent drivers whose job it is to move the products of a manufacturer to places they are needed own most of those trucks....

In this Second Part of Love Starved the Orphan Spirit, we discover the answer for the confusion and the dysfunction of those whose emotional and physical needs were not met in their nuclear families. Listen As Dr. Powell teaches the Orphan Spirit... The Cure.

Pastor John D. Putnam

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Putnam delivers a timely and deeply challenging message titled “Love vs. Love.” Speaking into a culture saturated with sentimental and self-centered ideas of love, Pastor Putnam draws a sharp and biblical contrast between the world’s definition of love and the transforming, covenantal love of God. Using Valentine’s Day as a cultural backdrop, this message exposes the emptiness of emotion-driven, convenience-based love and points listeners to the enduring power of Christlike love found in Scripture. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Putnam walks verse-by-verse through the defining attributes of true love—patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, perseverance, and...

Hi this is pastor Ken with my Monday Marriage Message. I have been humbled by the response to this podcast on Marriage. The response to it has been even greater than to my other weekly podcast, Thoughts On A Thursday. Because so many of you seem to find it valuable I am going to continue this endeavor throughout 2022. I thought I might begin the year speaking about love. So here goes, let’s kick off 2022 with the question… What’s Love Got To Do With It? Made famous by Tina Turner, this song released in 1984 spent three weeks atop...

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi, this is Pastor Ken, thanks for joining me for my Monday Marriage Message today. As we continue to identify the attributes and characteristics of love according to 1 Corinthians 13 the next quality of love that we find in verse 5is that…love does not seek its own. All of these identifiers of love in this chapter are important. It is more than necessary that we learn what each means and strive to excel at each of them if we are to rightly love our spouse, our family and the others around us we are in relationship with. This property...

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi this is pastor Ken thanks for joining me for my Monday Marriage Message…Love is kind Last week I began to define the characteristics of agape love as stated in ‘The Love Chapter’ otherwise known as 1 Corinthians chapter 13. In the past two editions of my podcast I laid much of the groundwork for this journey of understanding about love that we will be on for the first quarter of this year. If you have not listened to those two podcasts; Love Does…Love Does Not and Love Is Patient, I would suggest listening to those prior to this one...

This is pastor Ken, thanks for joining me for my Monday Marriage Message…Loving in all things. We are nearing the end of our series on the attributes of love according to 1 Corinthians 13. Today we focus on the qualities of love divulged in verse seven. [Love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. As a marriage counselor I find this verse to be a real stumbling block for many people. Usually, by the time couples have decided their marriage is in need of help they aren’t sure they can bear one more thing, believe...

Title: The Disciple Maker’s Dream Text: 1 Thessalonians 3:6-10 FCF: We often struggle continuing to grow in the cardinal graces of faith, love, and hope. Prop: Because the church thrives when we continue to grow spiritually, so we must continue to grow in faith, love and hope. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to 1 Thessalonians chapter 3. Put your finger or a book mark there, and flip back a page or two to chapter 1 verse 3. In a moment we’ll read both these passages from the Legacy Standard Bible. You can follow along in the pew...

Pastor Ken Brown Jr

Hi this is pastor Ken, thank you for joining me for my Monday Marriage Message…love is Patient In last week’s podcast I highlighted the attributes of love according to 1 Corinthians 13. This short chapter from the first letter written to the Corinthian church by the Apostle Paul is commonly known as the “love chapter”. It is often looked to as the biblical reference point to define love. As such, I used it last week as the basis for my podcast…Love Does…Love Does Not. In that podcast I spoke about the fact that there are three different words in the...

Bishop John E. Putman

In this week’s sermon, Bishop Putnam brings a heartfelt and Spirit-led message titled “The Greatest of These Is Love.” Building upon recent teachings on love, Bishop Putnam dives deeper into the divine nature of agape—the selfless, sacrificial love that defines God Himself. Using Scripture from Mark 12 and 1 Corinthians 13, this message reminds us that while faith and hope remain powerful pillars of the Christian life, the greatest of these is love. Not emotion. Not sentiment. Not romance. But the agape love of God—unearned, unconditional, and transformative. “The Greatest of These Is Love” is both a reminder and a...

Hi, this is pastor Ken, thanks for joining me again for my Monday Marriage Message…Love Does Not Parade Itself; it is not puffed up We are continuing this week with the defining characteristics of Agape Love according to 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Again we discover something that love does not do. Love does not parade itself and is not puffed up. What images arise in your mind when you think of the phrase “parade itself”? When I think about a parade there are several things I think of. A parade is a production. Parades are usually long, and parades definitely...
