    Every positive experience has its negative side. Jesus’ coming was threatening to many, and His birth foreshadows a cross. The light of Christ, however, will never be put out.

    Dr. Seuss knew that every Christmas has a Grinch. Every positive experience, it would seem, has a dark side, a negative side. Every Christmas has a Grinch to steal away its joy. Maybe you are one of those people, and there are quite a few of them, who just get tired of the whole murky business ...read more

    Where did that come from? That horrible, sinking feeling you have when something comes out of your mouth that you didn’t expect - that thing is just so “unlike” you. Did you know those words are just a reflection of what lurks beneath the surface? The sca

    You can tell what’s important to someone by reading their Facebook. But what’s important to you? What would be the most important thing you’d post on your Facebook? Would it be Jesus? If so, how can you do that effectively?

    OPEN: On the way home from church a little girl who said, “Mom, I’ve been thinking.” The mother said, “Oh! About what?” The girl replied, “Well, my teacher this morning said God is bigger than we are. Is that true?” “Yes, that’s true,” the mother replied. “He also said that God lives within us.

    1 John 1:5-10 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have ...read more

    The Ultimate Love 1 John 1:5-7NLT Introduction: How far can you walk? one block, two? one mile, ten?

    John is a passionate writer. Maybe he realises that he’s coming to the end of his life and he doesn’t have much time left to get his message across. Maybe he looks around at the church and realises that the inexorable drift from the gospel to religion is impacting on those he’s ...read more

    Word Comes Alive

    Do your actions, your faithfulness show you are a part of God's program or does it show that you are outside of it looking on? For you is worshiping the Lord a matter of service to others and obeying Him. This is what honors Him and gives us our purpose.

    Opening Illustration: This line between truth and falsehood is blurred in our society. We pick up newspapers and read touching stories and later find out that the stories were complete fabrications. We are used to politicians making us promises to get our votes, only to forget those promises once ...read more

    In this epistle, John sets the record straight about who Jesus is and how one might have fellowship with Him.

    Background First John was written by the Apostle John. Though his name is nowhere to be found written in this letter. It has been traditionally ascribed to John the Apostle. From the beginning of the letter he places himself among the eyewitnesses of the Lord Jesus (1:1-2) Early Christian ...read more

    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 4

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 16, 2020
     | 909 views

    God has placed clues about Himself in His creation for everyone to see. As one finds a clue and responds to it, God reveals more about Himself, eventually leading the person to Himself.

    Review (1 John 1:5 NKJV) This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. The imagery or concept of God as "light" pictures God's self-revelation (cf. John 8:12; 9:5; 12:35, 36). The truth of the matter is ...read more

    There's nothing subpar about our God, and His presence flows through the Holy Spirit for all of mankind to grow thereby.

    The Illuminating Presence of God. Revelation 22:1-5NKJV I really appreciate John Ortberg’s quote about God’s Presence: "Now let us bring God into the picture.
