    El mensaje examina el amor como el motivo de lo que hacemos. El contexto del capítulo sobre el amor es la operación de los dones del Espíritu (enumerados en 1 Corintios 12 y regulados en 1 Corintios 14).

    Introducción El texto de hoy se encuentra en 1 Corintios 13. Después de abordar los nueve dones del Espíritu en la primera parte de 1 Corintios 12, Pablo introdujo una analogía del cuerpo humano para enseñarles a estos creyentes la importancia de valorarse y cuidarse unos ...read more

    1 John 4:1-6

    1 John 4:1-6 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Before we get started with this verse I just want to remind you about two verses we read last week that I think go well with verse 1 ...read more

    A. TEN THINGS TO KEEP US FROM ERROR “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.

    How much of our activity at this season owes more to the Christmas spirit than to the spirit of Christ?

    The eternally liberal town of Eugene, Oregon lost their cross a few years ago. It used to overlook the town from Skinner Butte, but after a heated battle it was replaced by an American flag. This year the diversity police focused on a new target. The Christmas tree in the Hult Center for the ...read more

    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.

    Discerning The Source Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023
     | 1,423 views

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

    Here's how... 1. God urges us to test for the truth (vs. 1). 2. God gives us good tools to test for the truth (vs. 2-3; 5-6). 3. God gives us His abundant affection (vs. 1, 4). 4. God confirms that we are conquerors (vs. 4a). 5. God stresses the strength of His Spirit in us (vs. 4b).

    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

    John wrote this letter to refute the teaching of gnosticism that had found its way into the church.

    In Ezekiel chapter eight the prophet Ezekiel says he was sitting in his home and Judah's leaders were sitting in front of him. He says at that time, “The power of the Almighty LORD came over me” and he saw a vision of something that looked like a human but whose body looked like fire and ...read more

    Testing Spirits In The World

    Often we are led into error by our ignorance of the Word of God and His character. Often when we hear the voices of those in authority we believe whatever they say without question. Are we armed with, "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God?"

    Testing Spirits Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the ...read more

    “We should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” That’s not a suggestion. That’s a demand .

    Monday of Epiphany Week 2020 It’s a good idea to read St. John’s words in this first letter perhaps every week of our lives, because in it we find the key to happiness and fulfillment. John says “we receive from [God] whatever we ask.” Hmm, that’s interesting. And we recall that Jesus Himself said ...read more

    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
