    Contributed by Davon Huss on Oct 24, 2014
     | 4,365 views

    To persevere during trying times we need to remember our childhood (sonship) in Christ (Material adapted from Daniel Overdorf's book, What the Bible Says About the Church: Rediscovering Community, chapter 14 Radically Perseverant pgs 358-363)

    HoHum: Fred Craddock, while lecturing at Yale University told of going back one summer to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to take a short vacation with his wife.

    1) Assurance of being in the truth (vv. 19–20), 2) Give confidence that prayer will be answered (vv. 21–22), and 3) Assure the believer of union with Christ (vv. 23–24).

    Have you ever been praying and suddenly your conscience says something like this to you: “Look at you! Who do you think you are to come before God and ask anything from him! Why just this week you did things and said things that would disqualify you from ever receiving anything from God. ...read more

    Winning In Battles Of Life

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on May 24, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 41,032 views

    Your victory is closest to you than before, because you are born to win. However, there is something too strong for the devil to break in you and that is what determines your victory in all areas of life. It is the God-kind of life in you, which begins with new birth.

    WINNING IN BATTLES OF LIFE Study Text: 1 John 4: 4 Introduction - Your case is not closed until you decide to close it. No matter where you may be right now, or what your situation looks like, be assured that: You are born to win. - Life is a battle fight, and everyone who must succeed, must put ...read more

     | 5,040 views

    Children of the Resurrection are not marked by 1) Murder (1 John 3:12, 14), 2) Hatred (1 John 3:13, 15), and 3) Indifference toward other children of God (1 John 3:16–18).

    A recent story in a popular magazine gave some suggestions for “How to Heal a Family Feud.” It was sprinkled with anecdotes of families torn apart by petty squabbles, carefully nursed grudges, perceived and real hurts, and substantial doses of anger. But there were also stories of happy ...read more

    James Marshall, the first to discover gold in California in 1848, and the “forty-niners” who followed him, used the term eureka, meaning “I have found it”. Other would-be prospectors quickly learned that not everything that appeared to be gold actually was. Riverbeds and ...read more

    To show that GOD already defeated the enemy and have made us greater than conquerors because the LORD JESUS CHRIST lives within us.

Yes. 1 John 3:24 1 John 3:24 (Amplified Bible) All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them.

    The Comfort And Confidence Of Children Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 8,858 views

    There is nothing more comforting for a child, than a safe and loving home. Such an environment fosters growth and stability. The same principle applies for the children of God. Living confidently in Him, we enjoy growth and stability.

    The Comfort and Confidence of Children 1 John 3: 1-3 Our text this evening deals with the wonderful love of God and the eternal blessings bestowed on those who have been adopted into the family of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Lord. There is no greater comfort than knowing one has ...read more

    Seeing Sin For What It Is Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,567 views

    Those who are in Christ are aware of the dangers and consequences of sin, and yet most today are unwilling to confront it. While we must work with compassion, we also have an obligation to address sin and deal with it in our lives.

    Seeing Sin for What it Is 1 John 3: 4-10 Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman used to tell of a Methodist preacher who often spoke on the subject of sin. He minced no words, but defined sin as “that abominable thing that God hates.” A leader in his congregation came to him on one occasion and urged ...read more

    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 14,003 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    Abiding In Christ Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 10,875 views

    The ultimate goal of every believer should be Christ-likeness. The closer we walk with Him, growing in grace, the more like Him we become. In order to live victorious, fulfilling Christian lives, we must abide in Christ.

    Abiding in Christ 1 John 3: 18-24 Living a Christian life requires much more than church attendance during weekly services. Being known as a Christian is literally to be known as a follower of Christ, one who strives to live life as Christ lived. Being a Christian isn’t merely ...read more

    The Need For Spiritual Discernment Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,271 views

    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

    The Need for Spiritual Discernment 1 John 4: 1-6 I am sure we’ve all been warned about believing everything we hear. The same caution should be applied for what we see as well. It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more

    The Biblical Concept Of Sin

    Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016
     | 3,404 views

    The reason many in the Church live a defeated existence within and without the Church is because of a FAULTY, UN-BIBLICAL VIEW and UNDERSTANDING of SIN!

    BIBLICAL CONCEPT of SIN (1 John 3:7-10; NKJV) “Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. [8] He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He ...read more

    "god Is Our Father!" Series

     | 11,396 views

    What difference does it make that through faith in Christ we have a love relationship with God and know Him as our Father?

    While the first 2 chapters of 1 John have as their main theme the subject of fellowship, the next 3 chapters have sonship as their theme. The key verse in these in these chapters is 4:8, "God is love." We, who have trusted Christ as Savior, are children of God, we are in the family of ...read more

     | 13,690 views

    This passage centers around one basic truth for people that believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. People that believe in God and in Jesus Christ are considered to be “children of God.” Focus on purity as God's children.

    CHILDREN OF GOD 1 JOHN 3:1-17 #childrenofGod RESPONSIVE READING [READ 1 John 3:1-17] LEADER: How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,938 views

    What does the Bible teach about overcoming sin in the life of the Christian?

    We come now to one of the most difficult passages in Scripture. Verse 9 is often quoted to teach that a child of God will never commit sin. Many honest and sincere people believe this, and devote themselves to the attainment of what is commonly called "sinless perfection." But is this doctrine ...read more
