    Contributed by Shawn Drake on Apr 2, 2015
     | 3,754 views

    This is the 4th sermon in the series "Are You Real?". We are to take our salvation very seriously and put it to the test.

    Series: Are You Real? [#4] PUT IT TO THE TEST 1 John 2:3-11 Introduction: In a time when the theory is, “It’s easier to ask for permission than forgiveness”; many people have times in their lives where they question their salvation. They ask themselves questions like, ...read more

    We can love like Him only by abiding in Him.

    “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life.” (1 John 1:1) “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, ...read more

    The Passion Of Fellowship

    Contributed by Steve Mays on Nov 21, 2013
     | 6,339 views

    We may have a relationship with Jesus Christ, but very few of us actually have fellowship with God.

    There are three major themes that we’re going to cover in 1 John 2:3–11. One is that we are going to realize that if we say we have fellowship, then we need to be obedient to God’s Word. There is a major difference between having a fellowship versus having a relationship. We all ...read more

    How does one come to faith in Christ. And just what is saving faith?

    Saving Knowledge I John 2:1-6 Introduction Last week, we talked about our relationship we have in Jesus Christ in terms of light and darkness. Our fellowship with the Father requires us to be pure light without any dark spot. And we all too well know that this makes any fellowship with the Father ...read more

    Keep The Faith Series

     | 7,808 views

    John’s moral test for genuine salvation consists of: 1) The Test Stated (1 John 2:3), 2) The Test Applied (1 John 2:4–5) and 3) The Test Exemplified (1 John 2:6)

    Most of us don’t like tests. Tests conjure up bad images in our minds: that horrible math final exam your senior year in high school, that stress test the doctor has ordered, or that dreaded driver’s license test with a dour instructor in the car with you demanding that you display ...read more

    The true test of knowing God is do we live like Jesus.

    Knowing Jesus Text: 1 John 2:3-11 Introduction 1. Illustration: "Often in the Scriptures the word know means not just being aware of something but having a personal experience of it.

    Victory In Jesus Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 13,500 views

    Far too many believers live defeated lives. The Lord is never pleased when we surrender to our difficulties and admit defeat. Granted we can't overcome within our own ability, but with the help of the Lord, we can live victoriously.

    Victory in Jesus 1 John 2: 1-6 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the relationship John enjoyed with Christ. He was part of the inner circle, one of three that were closest to Jesus. I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more

    Find Joy In The Journey - Love - 1 John 2 Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Feb 10, 2019
     | 5,497 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.

    Contributed by Gordon Weatherby on Feb 18, 2019
     | 3,405 views

    The Apostle John tells us that we can know we are saved, and then in this epistle gives us three criteria from the Word of God that allow us to know this with certainty.

    God’s love is so misunderstood. This message looks at a prophecy delivered in 2008 about what God’s love means.

    God is good. All the time. To me. Say it again. God is good. All the time. To me! Praise the Lord! A couple of weeks ago I was reading through some of the prophecies that have come forth here in this church. I came across one from 2008 that’s titled “Love, Repentance, and Judgment.” As I started ...read more

    A person may be walking in the Light of Christ and then take their eyes off from Him. This always leads to the disaster of walking in the darkness if it goes unchecked and unrepented for too long. Don't take the first step in the wrong direction ...

    The Conflict Between Church And Secular States

     | 2,650 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
