     | 4,339 views

    This sermon examines the fifth petition of our Lord’s Pattern for Prayer, "and forgive us our debts...", seeking to explore our need for God’s daily pardon.

    A PATTERN FOR PRAYER WASH YOUR FEET! "This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are ...read more

    The Inevitable Cleanup Job Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 5, 2009
     | 3,919 views

    Sin is inevitable and needs to be identified as the filth that is in all of us, and it needs to be acknowledged in the Christian community. But God loves us and cares for us and is in the blood of Christ cleaning us.

    No matter how good it is, it has to be cleaned up. Isn’t that always the case? No matter how good anything is, it has to be cleaned up. You get a new suit of clothes, you wear it a few times -- maybe only one time, in this heat -- and before you know it, it has to go off to the dry cleaners. No ...read more

    This sermon reminds us of the importance of confessing our sins to God and to each other.

    Last week we looked at the message that was given to the women who came to the empty tomb after Jesus had risen from the dead. We looked at the implications of the empty tomb, the fulfilled promises, and the command to go and tell. Today, I want to continue the conversation about the implications ...read more

    Penitence And Repentance

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 28, 2015
     | 3,467 views

    Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts and clear our hearts of anything that hinders our relationship with him. Once he has done this, we can come before him with thankful hearts.

    How many of you have ever had a spotlight shined directly on you? Was it a comfortable experience? In 1 John 1:5-10 God is described as light, and sometimes that light is very uncomfortable when it’s shined on us. God is infinitely holy, utterly righteous and morally pure. He shines his light ...read more

     | 5,225 views

    The opening twelve verses of the first Epistle of John introduce us to three main themes: fellowship, sin, and propitiation.

    ADVOCACY AND FELLOWSHIP. 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-2:2. The opening of the First Epistle of John is not unlike the famous Prologue of his Gospel (John 1:1-14). It too takes us back to “the beginning”, and introduces us to “the Word” - and it soon becomes clear that the Word is none other than ...read more

    The first letter of John was written to Christians to help them have joy, overcome sin, recognize false teachers, and to be assured of their eternal life. To do that, believers had to recognize the reality of Jesus and a relationship with Him.

    Get Real! 1 John 1:1-10 Slide Have you ever witnessed people who appeared to be pretenders in the Christian faith? Their words don’t match what they say they say they believe Or Maybe what they say they believe doesn’t match what the Bible says, yet they say they are ...read more

     | 5,598 views

    John gives us three very important concepts to grab hold of: If we live in the dark, God does not live within us; if we live in the truth, He is within us and we walk perfectly with Him; and lastly, repentance is more than words; it's a life change.

    Forgiveness is found in Christ 1 John Bible Study, Part 2 1 John 1:5-10 Introduction - The author of this letter (or epistle) is the disciple, John - This Epistle was probably written in Ephesus between the years 95–110. -- It was written to counter Docetism: belief that Jesus did ...read more

    The outgrowth of a personal relationship with Christ is a commitment to truth, love, and morality.

    Several years ago I traded at a dry cleaner that has since gone out of business. One week I intended to drop off my clothes, but for some reason or other I never stopped by. Finally, on my way to the office that Friday morning, I had time. When I walked in, two ladies were at the counter. They ...read more

    1) An accurate belief in the nature of God (1 John 1:5), and 2) A genuine belief in the certainty of sin (1 John 1:6, 8, 10)

    Ever since the fall, humanity has tried to deny the reality of sin, even though every human being is innately aware of its presence. (cf. Rom. 2:14-16). People today minimize and redefine sin, often alleging that the “failures” of their lives and certain “disorders” exist ...read more
