    Commentary 1 John, Ch. 4 Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 7, 2021
     | 3,794 views

    The mention of faith in 1John 3:23 had reminded the Apostle John of the danger of intellectual and moral error. After the last paragraph, the mention of God’s Spirit gave him a form to clothe the discussion of truth and falsehood in its human manifestations.

    TRIUMPHAL ENTRY COMMENTARY 1 JOHN, CH. 4 Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. King James Bible Testing the Spirits 1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ...read more

    We all face a test in one form or another. Our walk with the Lord might just determine the severity of that test.

    The Sin Test: 1 John 3:4-7 (6) • Committing a sin and remaining in sin are two separate issues. • Some believe that committing a sin is the only way to sin. • James 4:17 – therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin • Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, ...read more

    Check the words that people speak with what God says in the Bible. Check the commitment to the body of believers

    1 John 4:1-6 cautions Christians not to indiscriminately acknowledge every single spiritual case. There are numerous bogus instructors (false teachers) on the planet. It is vital to painstakingly consider both the source and the substance of an instructing (teaching) before we acknowledge it. John ...read more

     | 1,616 views

    This is the third sermon I preached in this series. We find a challenge issued by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle John which helps us see how to fulfill the Great Commandments “Love God and Love Others” and the Great Commission.

    Text: 1 John 4:1-11 (1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

    Imitating Love

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Mar 23, 2023
     | 2,378 views

    Paul tells us in Ephesians that we should be imitators of God. God is love so therefore if we are to imitate Him, we become love. This message is about imitating LOVE.

    Imitators of Love Scripture: Matthew 24:10-12; Ephesians 4:31-5:2; First John 4:1-6 The title of my message this morning is “Imitators of Love” and the idea for this message came to me from a message my brother Barry delivered a couple of weeks ago at his Church. Barry’s message, titled ...read more

    The devil is a cruel cunning foe. To be vigilant against his attacks is not only a duty but also a mandatory essential to life.

    And Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel.

     | 2,254 views

    Even in Jude's time false teachers had crept into the church and Jude does not hold back. In this message we look into "creeping" and examine these false teachers, ungodly men, the wolves among the lambs. There is much warning for us too 1950 years later.

    “CERTAIN PERSONS” – THE CREEPERS WHO SLIPPED IN, QUIETLY IN SLIPPERS – Jude 1 verse 4 MESSAGES IN JUDE – MESSAGE 3 Jude 1 v 4 Jude 1:4 “for certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God ...read more

    The Apostle John wrote that in his day, the spirit of Antichrist was already at work in the world. It has not changed. The spirit of Antichrist is still at work in our day.

    COMMUNISM: THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IN OUR AGE TEXT: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

    Postmodernity has given birth to the idea that all spiritual views are simply different roads that lead to God. We have created a confusing web of “spiritual paths” for those on a quest to know God. John gives a process for gaining and maintaining our bearings while on our spiritual journey.

     | 6,468 views

    What Satan can do to us is to set fear in our hearts and mind. What can Christians do to defeat the enemy? In this sermon we will be taught how to know Satan schemes and how to defeat him.

    Introduction: One of the fiercest and the deadliest animals in the jungle is the lion. And because of its roar, all the animals are scared of it. Lions may be not that big as giraffe nor the elephants, but because of its strength, loudness of his voice, size doesn’t matter. Lion is still considered ...read more

    February 19, 2022 None of the 3 letters assigned to John bear his name, but early church records and a thematic connection to the Gospel of John suggests that the author is John “the beloved”.

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more
