"Unbelieving Believers" Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 1, 2016

One sign of the last days is the number of "believers" who defect from the faith.

Through-out this letter, John refers lovingly to his audience as "little children." This book records the loving teaching of a father in the faith to those who were his children in the faith. One of the things that children need to learn as they grow up is how to tell time. John sought to teach his ...read more

Reflection C.7 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Antichrist

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 27, 2020

Antichrist is a mysterious figure. But scripture gives us some important pointers regarding antichrists in the past and the future antichrist.

Today we are going to look at the mysterious figure of ‘antichrist’. The word ‘antichrist’ only comes in John’s letters. However, there are other passages of scripture which seem to be about antichrist even though they don’t use the word ‘antichrist’. Historically, there have been many views ...read more

Strait And Narrow Sermon Vii: Christians Avoid Deceptive Diversions Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jun 10, 2020

As culture drifts further away from biblical truth, mature Christians persevere in their beliefs and practices while avoiding deceptive diversions on the way to their ultimate goal.

Last Or First? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 28, 2019

At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end.

Antichrists- Part 1

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 3, 2020

The Bible teaches that when the Antichrist comes in the end times, he will try to be the Christ that men are looking for.

First John 2:18-27 contrasts Christians with Antichrists. Verse 18 says, "Ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists, by which we know that it is the last time." That verse introduces a term that is very familiar to Christians: Antichrists. This is the ...read more

The Several Antichrists

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 12, 2020

These are the tares present in the church but have never been a part of the body of Christ. The existence of the many antichrists in the church describes those that were not really believers. The Bible describes them as those without root, the tares in the church.

In the first part of this writing, we had examined the spirit behind the antichrist called the spirit of the antichrist or the spirit of error. In this second part, we shall do well to reveal the several antichrists that exist in the church. These studies shall help to identify the marks of those ...read more

Heart Trouble

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 16, 2017

In his parable of the sower and the seed, Jesus shows us various kinds of spiritual heart trouble. From the story, we learn to share our faith indiscriminately, trust God to bring the growth, and cooperate with God in the growth he wants to bring in us.

Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23 Heart Trouble Have you ever wondered why some seem to embrace God’s good news of salvation and others don’t? Have you ever wondered why God sends people to hell? Or maybe they send themselves there, as they reject the God who desires that all people be saved. Jesus used a ...read more

How Are We To Beware Of Fellowship Destroyers?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Aug 9, 2023

John is discussing the last days, the time between Christ's first and second coming.

The readers of the first century of 1 John lived in those last days, thus do we. During this time, antichrists (false teachers who profess to be Christians and draw weakened individuals from Christ) will show up. Sometime before the world ends, one Antichrist will emerge that will appear ...read more
