The Sixties culture told us there were only two alternatives: Make Love, Not War. So is it either love or fight? It is possible to make love and war at the same time...but it's not what you think. We don't often associate love with conflict, and for the most part, that is true. But there is a place where love must have a battle line. When one love in our life meets another love in our life, only one of them is going to win. With that in mind, this message explores one of the most intriguing truths of the first letter of John to the churches. Using music from Etta Jones and a phenomenal testimony of a little white-haired man from Australia, we will delve into the uncharted reaches of love's experience: The only battle line love will draw in our lives.

In this Father's Day message, Pastor Larry Yurk gives us a biblical perspective on the creation of Man and the glory of God

This message is not contained in its entirety on this recording...but almost. We are missing a few minutes at the beginning and a two-minute stretch in the middle. We thought about filling it with light elevator music or maybe something from Flogging Molly, but we were talked out of it. It is almost entirely there however. This third message in the series on "Who Wrote the Book of Love" - studies in First John, deals with the difference between the fickle nature of human love and the steadfast nature of the sort of love we can show by the Presence of God within us.

This seminar was run on Monday June 4 at Gateway Fellowship Church in Sacramento. It is one in a series of messages this year on sexual issues for men. Several illustrations were cut out of the final tape because of privacy issues and an inability to obtain permission from people involved. You may notice a few "continuity" issues with the message because of this. In addition, we use some very graphic descriptions of pornography and sexual addiction, even though there is no profanity. We see nothing wrong with allowing teenagers to listen to this as long as parents are there to answer questions.

If there is interest, we may be willing to put a message on here from a seminar that Pastor Mike did titled "Why Women are Stupid...about Pornography". The seminar directors will not allow us to use the tape made at the seminar, but we might be willing to redo the main points if there is enough interest.

If you are a man who has a pornography problem or feel your husband or son does and want help for them, please email me at:

In this very special service from Gateway Fellowship, we feature four of our teenagers who are giving their lives to Jesus in Baptism. Pastor Rick Gall gives the message from John 3 as he explains the simplicity of believing in God. Also during this message we have the testimony of the four teens. At the end of the baptism, Pastor Rick gives an opportunity to receive Christ. At the service, ten people responded, giving their lives to Jesus.
