     | 5,254 views

    If God is light, if God is perfect righteousness, then we’d better get real about our own righteousness.

    John is writing to his followers in the final years of his life. You get the feeling that he thinks he’s running out of time because there’s a certain urgency to the way he writes. He doesn’t waste words. There’s no polite greeting at the start of the letter. He just gets ...read more

    We may either love one another or hate one another; there is no halfway in this situation. God calls us to love. Failure to love is hatred.

    “Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing ...read more

    The Conflict Between Church And Secular States

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 29, 2012
     | 2,806 views

    There have been conflicts throughout two millennia between secular authorities and the Church, and the conflict between Thomas Becket and Henry II is reflected in the American situation today, but Jesus and the Church are not about power, but love.

    St. Thomas Becket 2012 December 29–in the Christmas Octave We come to the end of a year that many in the Church see as an overall catastrophe. Our faith is in more peril in this country than at any time since the suppression of the No-Nothing party and the KKK. Most critically, this coming ...read more

    1 John seems to reveal a generation gap for the first time in Christian experience. How do we handle this? John’s message is helpful here.

    (The audio version of this is longer and more complete) How do we pass on the truth to the next generation? How keep from losing our children to the world? Every generation has a choice to make. The gospel and letters of John may have been written to address this very subject. John writes to ...read more

    This sermon looks at: What is salvation? and examines the fruit of salvation in our lives from attitude, actions and affection to Jesus. It ends by asking people if they personally have salvation. It contains references from the Koran, BBC, psychology jou

    1 John part 1 ‘How may I know I am saved?’ Before I start my sermon this week I want to start by saying I am only talking about your personal salvation. I am not talking about salvation in general. Romans 10: 6 – 9 is quite clear that it is God’s decision who will enter ...read more

    The Bible does plainly teach that it is possible to know for sure you are a Christian, but that assurance is to be built on facts. This introduces a series of three tests by which anyone can know beyond a shadow of a doubt whether or not they are a child

    The Christian way of life or walking in the light involves not only fellowship with God & with the brethren (1:5-7), consciousness & confession of sin (1:8-10), obedience by imitation of Christ (2:1-6). Walking in the light also requires love of the breth

    In 1 John 2:7-11 we see the description of the fellowship in love as: 1) The Eternal Truth in the Old Light (1 John 2:7), 2) The Eternal Truth in a New Light (1 John 2:8) 3) The Eternal Truth as a Way of Life (1 John 2:9-11).

     | 5,653 views

    The discovery of Love and the actions of love opens up our eyes to see Jesus, to hear Jesus and to touch Jesus, but the action of hate causes us to be blind to Jesus, deaf to Jesus and out of touch with Jesus. Love puts us in the light while hate traps us in darkness.
