    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

    A message of the need for authentic Christianity from 1 John

    Got To Be True FIRST JOHN FACTS As always, it is an honor to be here with you this morning. Today we are going to open up God’s Word to the book of 1st John.

    John tells us what we can do to overcome sin. 1- We must accept God’s sacrifice for our sins 2- We must obey His commands 3- We must walk as Jesus walked

    INTRO.- ILL.- A 77-year-old granny made a citizen’s arrest in Germany when she rugby-tackled a 25-year-old jay walker. The pensioner sat on him until police arrived - because he had walked across a road before the light was green. The woman, from Freital, near Dresden, shouted at the man as he ...read more

    How do you know if you are a Christian? Can you? Is it possible? John says yes in his letter and gives three ways that we can know we are "living in the light." The first is the Moral Test.

    We are going to continue on in 1 John tonight. Just to recap, two weeks ago we focused on God being the one constant in our lives. His relationship with us is the only thing that will never fail and never let us down. Last week, we talked about sin and that it is a reality that we all have to deal ...read more

    Where the joy of living a significant life comes from.

    We’re in this series called, “Made to Count – Am I Living a Life that Matters?” Last week in chapter one of John’s letter we discovered that FELLOWSHIP is one of the keys to living a life that matters.

    If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, but He expects our obedience.

    The “If” of Knowing Jesus. I John 2:1-6 INTRO.: Wm. Barclay introduces his exegesis of this passage with the following thoughts: In I John 1:7-9, John says two very important things about sin. He says the blood of Christ purifies us from all sin. This means forgiveness and cleansing come through ...read more

    Everyone talks about true love. But the Apostle John tells us how we are supposed to love.

    In just two days, we celebrate a holiday centered around the concept of love. We’ve seen traces of it for weeks. Hearts, flowers, candy… My wife told me exactly what she wanted this year… she told me she wanted flowers…but not roses. Anyone can get roses, she said. She wanted tulips. And so I ...read more

    Sin in a person’s life is not what determines if they are truly a Christian or not, John tells us one practical way to evaluate ourselves in our Christian walk.

    A pastor and his wife were vacationing in Estes Park, Colorado, and were having breakfast in a local coffee shop. It was empty except for four men at another table. One was mocking Christianity; in particular, the resurrection of Christ. He went on and on about what a stupid teaching that was. The ...read more

    Advocacy And Fellowship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 4, 2015
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,221 views

    The opening twelve verses of the first Epistle of John introduce us to three main themes: fellowship, sin, and propitiation.

    ADVOCACY AND FELLOWSHIP. 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-2:2. The opening of the First Epistle of John is not unlike the famous Prologue of his Gospel (John 1:1-14). It too takes us back to “the beginning”, and introduces us to “the Word” - and it soon becomes clear that the Word is none other than ...read more

    Sinner ... Saint ... Or Both?

     | 3,955 views

    Romans 6:22 tells us that we, as Christians, are set free from slavery to sin and that we become slaves to God. Should we identify ourselves as sinners or sons and daughters of God?

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    This message asks: "What's the big deal about sin? Why does God care about what comes naturally to us?" And this message looks at the hope and joy we have because we trust that Jesus is our atoning sacrifice.

    June 10/18 Sermon - 1 John 2:1-2 Today is the third in a series where we are looking at the book of first John. Pastor Bill Ryan did an excellent introduction to the book 2 weeks ago, and Pastor Arleen spoke on the balance of chapter 1 last week. If you missed those messages, and you want to ...read more

    A King-Sized Comforter

     | 9,409 views

    Moments before Jesus' arrest, the Lord took time to explain to his disciples the coming Holy Spirit. For those followers of Jesus and for us, the Holy Spirit reminds us that God is for us, God is with us, and God is in us.

    John 14:15-21 A King-sized Comforter Jesus shares today’s scripture with his disciples over the Last Supper. He knows his arrest is imminent, that he will soon be nailed to a cross, so all of his words here carry a weighty importance. He wants to reassure his disciples, to help them to keep going ...read more
