    Contributed by Tim Diack on Jul 17, 2013
     | 7,737 views

    John has given his readers a great deal of corrective instruction in the opening chapters of this book - now he speaks words of encouragement and exhortation for them (and for us!) to take to heart and to put into practice in our own lives.

     | 3,853 views

    The world’s values do not last for eternity, they are self-centered and empty. John’s cry to the believer here is asking, “Who do you live for?” Will we love and live for God or ourselves?

    To Love is God’s Commandment 1 John Bible Study, Part 4 1 John 2:7-17 Introduction - Last week, John gave us tremendous insight into living fully for Christ • We have an Advocate • We must live for Him • God makes us complete - V4 is the confirmation of this ...read more

     | 5,081 views

    If God is light, if God is perfect righteousness, then we’d better get real about our own righteousness.

    John is writing to his followers in the final years of his life. You get the feeling that he thinks he’s running out of time because there’s a certain urgency to the way he writes. He doesn’t waste words. There’s no polite greeting at the start of the letter. He just gets ...read more

    1 Lose, 1 Win, Your Turn

    Contributed by Oliver Wong on Nov 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,494 views

    The sermon takes a look at the cosmic struggle between evil and good - between Satan and Eve (and Adam) (Round 1), Satan and Jesus (Round 2), and finally Round 3...Satan vs. YOU... Special attention is paid on 1 John 2:15-17 concerning Satan's 3 weapons.

    Think of Satan… What comes to your mind immediately? Did an image of an angry-looking red being holding a pitch fork come to your mind? Or maybe you see a plump guy with horns and a fanatical smirk on his face? Whatever it is, we have to ask ourselves: Is our mental picture of Satan fuelled ...read more

    This sermon deals with the lure of the world for us to fall in love with it. Looking at the life of Samson shows what our love for the world will do for us. Jesus has a better plan.

    1 John seems to reveal a generation gap for the first time in Christian experience. How do we handle this? John’s message is helpful here.

    (The audio version of this is longer and more complete) How do we pass on the truth to the next generation? How keep from losing our children to the world? Every generation has a choice to make. The gospel and letters of John may have been written to address this very subject. John writes to ...read more

    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
