The Passion Of Fellowship

Contributed by Steve Mays on Nov 21, 2013

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

Getting Real About The Christian Life Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Mar 4, 2014

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

Is It Really Legalism?

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

In many modern churches, legalism is no more than acknowledging that the Lord has given to His Church a body of legislation that He expects to be taught and obeyed.

These terms have, primarily, been used to describe and condemn those Christians and churches that believe that there is more to ...read more

I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more
