"Blessed Assurance of Love"- Dr. James Littles

March 01, 2026

Dr. James Littles

In this week’s Sunday sermon, we were honored to have guest speaker, Dr. James Littles. Dr. Littles delivered a powerful and faith-building message titled “Blessed Assurance of Love.” With clarity, compassion, and apostolic conviction, Dr. Littles reminds us that there is a treasure greater than any earthly possession—the unshakable love of God. Through biblical teaching and heartfelt illustration, this sermon reveals that God’s love is not merely emotional—it is covenantal, sacrificial, and secure. Dr. Littles reminds us that love is not a fleeting feeling, but a settled reality rooted in Christ’s finished work. When we abide in His love, fear loses its authority. When we mature in His love, boldness replaces anxiety. When we trust His love, peace becomes our portion. “Blessed Assurance of Love” is both an invitation and a declaration—an invitation to bring every fear into the light, and a declaration that God’s perfect love is powerful enough to wash it away. If you’ve been carrying anxiety about your future, your family, your health, or your circumstances, this message will remind you that you belong to a loving Father who holds tomorrow.

Perfect love does not merely comfort us emotionally; it transforms how we live, think, and face tomorrow.
Believers are adopted as sons and daughters of God, giving us assurance rooted in identity—not circumstance.
The cross proves God’s love regardless of feelings; love is reality, not emotion.
