     | 5,098 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

    The Comfort And Confidence Of Children Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 8,902 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

     | 8,638 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
     | 14,083 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

    The Biblical Concept Of Sin

    Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016
     | 3,442 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

    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

    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!

     | 9,033 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

    John tells us that a true child of God seeks to be gracious and generous.

    The theme of this portion of 1 John is love. But instead of portraying the need for believers to love one another in a positive light, John speaks to us about loving one another by emphasizing the negative. In these verses, he tells us what a lack of love will lead to. 1. Murder - vs. ...read more

    The way a Dad loves and the way a Dad lives are very important to God, to our kids, and to our society. Somebody needs to show who God is and what He is like. Here are some basic ways we can show our kids and grandkids the Father’s love.

    Showing the Father’s Love 1 John 3:1 “Consider the kind of extravagant love the Father has lavished on us—He calls us children of God! It’s true; we are His beloved children. And in the same way the world didn’t recognize Him, the world does not recognize us ...read more
