Love and Lordship

The Authority of Love - Love & Lordship Pt 1

Love & Lordship according to God's Word - Part 1 of 3...Let's explore and learn what God Himself in His Word and through the Living Word, Christ, tell us about real Love and Lordship.

The Authority of Love - Why Love & Lordship?

Two of the most commonly used words in Scripture and churches...and most people, even in our churches, have little or no idea what they actually mean according to God's Word. The vision of L&L is every life and relationship built on the Love & Lordship of Jesus Christ! However it must be in line with His Truth, not ours or the world's as to what His Love and Lordship are to be in our lives, marriages, families and in Christ's Church!
