    John wrote this letter to refute the teaching of gnosticism that had found its way into the church.

    In Ezekiel chapter eight the prophet Ezekiel says he was sitting in his home and Judah's leaders were sitting in front of him. He says at that time, “The power of the Almighty LORD came over me” and he saw a vision of something that looked like a human but whose body looked like fire and ...read more

    Testing Spirits In The World

    Often we are led into error by our ignorance of the Word of God and His character. Often when we hear the voices of those in authority we believe whatever they say without question. Are we armed with, "the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God?"

    Testing Spirits Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the ...read more

    The mention of faith in 1John 3:23 had reminded the Apostle John of the danger of intellectual and moral error. After the last paragraph, the mention of God’s Spirit gave him a form to clothe the discussion of truth and falsehood in its human manifestations.

    TRIUMPHAL ENTRY COMMENTARY 1 JOHN, CH. 4 Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. King James Bible Testing the Spirits 1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ...read more

    When you are in a relationship, you have obligations. Christians are in a relationship with Christ and with that relationship comes obligations, This message looks at six of them.

    Father, we love your presence. We love your presence. We love you Lord and we give you all the glory. You are such a good, good Father. We love you and we give you praise this morning.

    Rebellion is always corrected by the law. When the law finds you guilty, you become sentenced, or in-prisoned. However, Hear this, Repenting always leads to Mercy, refreshing, and spiritual cleansing.

    The Spirit Of Anti-Christ Revealed. 1 John 4:1-6NASB In his book The Gospel According to Starbucks, Leonard Sweet tells the story of Ed Faubert.

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (12 Of 16)

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

    When we know the love of God in our lives, that love will remove any punishment fear that we feel between ourselves and God.

    We Have Overcome

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 2, 2024
     | 686 views

    Tindley wrote, “I'll overcome some day”. Pete Seeger and Joan Baez sang, “We shall overcome”. And the apostle John wrote, “You... have overcome”. I like them all. But I am drawn most to the words in scripture that says the overcoming has already happened.

    Alba 9-1-2024 WE HAVE OVERCOME I John 4:4-6 "We Shall Overcome" is a gospel song that is associated heavily with the U.S. civil rights movement. Wikipedia has an article that says the origins of the song are unclear. It was thought to have descended from "I'll Overcome Some ...read more

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

    The message examines love as the motive for what we do. The context of the Love Chapter is the operation of the gifts of the Spirit (listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and regulated in 1 Corinthians 14).

    Intro Our text today is found in 1 Corinthians 13. After addressing the nine gifts of the Spirit in the first part of 1 Cor. 12, Paul introduced an analogy of the human body to teach these believers the importance of valuing and caring for one another.
