    Reflection

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 13, 2012
     | 9,029 views

    Jesus' cleansing of the temple graphically proclaims that the temple was no only needed. Jesus is the the temple and with the Holy Spirit in us, we become a temple. God is among his people, bringing in his kingdom.

    John 2:13-22 “Reflection” INTRODUCTION I have always found the scene of Jesus cleansing the temple puzzling, if not troubling. It seems so out of character for Jesus. Certainly, he has shown anger before at the hardheartedness and judgmentalism of some people, but he has never ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,716 views

    The real test of love is when things are offensive, trying, tough and tiring. Jesus did His best work under offense. John says this is a test of our true supernatural nature.

    A Test for Living in the Light 1 John 2:7-11 "Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and ...read more

    There are four maturity levels in the Christian life. John explores each level, the strengths and weaknesses of each in this delightful passage.

    Levels of Maturity 1 John 2:12-14 Ill. The work of Japanese painter Hokusai spanned many years before his death in 1849 at age 89. But toward the end of his life, the artist dismissed as nothing all the work he had done before age 50. It was only after he reached 70 that he felt he was turning out ...read more

    Satan's methods of temptation only come in three flavors, but God has one answer: Love God and love like God.

    The Flavor Of the Week 1 John 2:15-17 1Jn 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. In the scripture, "world" (cosmos) is used to mean one of three distinct things. 1) The world could mean the physical universe, that ...read more

    The Attractive World

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Sep 7, 2012
     | 4,482 views

    One of the biggest challenges for believers today is to dwell in this world and yet remain his or her distance from its fatal attraction.

    The Attractive World 1 John 2:15-17 The world is an environment that we dwell in. We have families, jobs, we own things and involve ourselves in worldly activities. Though there is maybe nothing wrong with any of these things they make it easier for us to become attached to the world beyond that ...read more

    The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 21, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,435 views

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

     | 21,218 views

    The Christian way of life or walking in the light involves not only fellowship with God & with the brethren (1:5-7), consciousness & confession of sin (1:8-10), obedience by imitation of Christ (2:1-6). Walking in the light also requires love of the breth
